Congratulations, sisters!
share that time with my
AΓ∆ family members all
gathered at the house on
that day."
For those who know
Olivia, they know
that running for
Homecoming Queen
was a large step outside
of her comfort zone.
However, seeing the
members of the chapter,
along with Psi alumnae, unite to support her
platform and intent to run is something she will
always remember.
"It gave me the confidence to stand tall," she
stated. "I would have never been able to do it
without the constant encouragement, love, and
support from my Alpha Gam family."
Olivia Wages experienced the same support
from her Alpha Gam sisters when she was
a top Corolla Beauty and first runner-up to
the Homecoming Queen. That support was
consistent during her time at UA and made
a lasting impact and taught her essential life
lessons.
"It's funny that I was a Corolla Beauty; I was
no beauty, but my sisters were supportive, and
I was immensely proud to represent Alpha
Gamma Delta!" Oliva shared. "Being an AΓ∆
taught me the meaning of friendship, being
a team player, and a challenge to be better
person."
Knowing that her Alpha Gam sisters always had
her back at UA was important for Sara during
her time at Psi Chapter.
Equally important
was being a part of
something bigger than
herself and having that
community support
through the sisterhood.
Angie's AΓ∆ experience
also taught her the
importance of having
a community of strong
women who have your
back and who love you.
"Even though changes occur over the
generations, there is still so much that we can
share through our AΓ∆ experience," Angie
said. "I love that when we all get together,
we can always talk about AΓ∆. We have been
so fortunate that the chapter has always been
so strong, and we can be proud of our legacy
there!"
