Alpha Gamma Delta - University of Alabama

ALPHA GAMMA DELTA closest friends are ΑΓΔ sisters, including women from her hometown of Dothan, Ala., and other cities around the state. "I would not want my life to be without my ΑΓΔ group. Psi Chapter gave me my current friends for visiting, trips, fun, and happiness," she said. Jan and her husband, Paul Leonard, have two children: John Roberts, a student at the University of Alabama, and Julia, a student at Georgia Tech. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time at the lake and is a part of the ΑΓΔ Birmingham Alumnae Club. Jan lives in Mountain Brook, Ala., and can be reached at pasteleo@aol.com. A t the end of the spring 2016 semester, Psi's former president, Mary Harmon Tyson '12, received the Most Outstanding Sorority President award at the 2015 Order of Omega Banquet. After celebrating with senior week and overboard, we said goodbye to the 2012 pledge class and our sisters parted for the summer. Throughout the summer, many of our members studied abroad, served on mission trips, volunteered at camps, and completed internships.

The largest pledge class in our chapter's history is in great hands with New Member Educators Emory Johnston '14 and Mae Rose Tyson '14.
