Epsilon Gamma Alumnae Group Here is a brief update concerning our Epsilon Gamma Alumnae Group. Membership dues are $100 per year or a one-‐time payment of $500 for a lifetime. In just a short period of time, we have received membership support from three “Lifetime Members,” and membership commitments from many other sisters that are in the process of joining. We are in the process of projecting a budget, and we are beginning to plan for the 2015 school year. Organizationally, we are investigating our opportunities to obtain non-‐profit status and for registering with Alpha Xi Delta Head Quarters. Our goal is to spend all of the funds collected for dues, donations, and interests earned on the active Epsilon Gamma Chapter. As always, we appreciated your suggestions and feedback. This group will be dedicated to the continuous improvement and support of the active chapter. Our mission will be to provide financial assistance, mentorship, guidance, education, and leadership opportunities when needed. We plan to fund leadership and educational workshops, as well as help individual sisters who may face financial hardships from home or while at school. We plan to budget for our sisters’ graduation gifts and to participate in our annual Founders Day Ceremony. Anyone wishing to pay their dues or to make a donation should make their checks out to Epsilon Gamma Alumnae Group and send to the address below.
