Alumna Membership Case Study
Dear [NAME],
As you may remember from your own experiences, the transition from collegiate member to alumna can be a challenge. Sisters scatter far and wide, and the Kappa Kappa Gamma community our collegiate members once felt may seem distant as they begin their adult lives. Although this may seem like a scary time for our graduating seniors, we encourage our alumna members to take the opportunity to welcome these young women into alumna life. Holding a graduating senior event for collegiate Kappas in your area is a chance to celebrate their accomplishments and introduce them to the community, network, and benefits of alumna membership.
To celebrate graduating seniors, alumnae associations have hosted brunches, lunches, and dessert parties.

This ensures that they will receive their issue of The Key, official Kappa updates, and announcements about leadership and engagement opportunities through Kappa. If possible, have a laptop or iPad present for seniors to update their information on the spot.
• Discuss ways to engage with the Fraternity after graduation, including volunteering, attending Leadership Academy and Kappa Leadership Conference, and joining an alumnae association.
• Describe the activities of an alumnae association, including the benefits of membership, reasons to join and ways to stay involved.
• Share programs and scholarships available to alumnae through the Foundation, like Rose McGill Aid.
• Explain what alumna dues (i.e., per capita fee) go toward (e.g., Convention and Kappa Leadership Conference expenses, printing and mailing The Key, Colonization and Installation of new chapters, etc.). This should be an informational explanation about how dues support the Fraternity, not a request for seniors to pay their dues. Feel free to use language like, “When you are able to pay your alumnae dues,” to show understanding and support for our seniors who may be burdened with student loan debt and worried about additional fees from the

    According to Martin and Hummer (1989: 459), "fraternities are vitally concerned – more than anything else – with masculinity (cf. Kanin 1967)." This sets the paradigm that they will look into. The paradigm they look from is the eyes of a fraternity's typically nature and values and actions they take part in to decipher what really takes place in order to understand the fraternity's view as the ideal brother. It helps the reader understand how the fraternity culture differs from mainstream culture. The paradigm is expanded by also talking to sororities, non-Greeks, administration and alumni. Martin and Hummer lay out the social constructs of fraternities to help shape the study.…

    I would like to begin by saying that I am honored to be a nominee for membership into the 2013 Senior Honor Society of York College of Pennsylvania. I take passion in my academic studies and my community involvement. The opportunity to be recognized for the impact I have made on my college and local community is truly flattering. After spending my first two years at Millersville University, I began my studies at York College in my third year of college as a junior. Living in Spring Grove, I made the decision to live at home, work a part-time job, and commute to York College. These factors are all things that could have impacted my campus-life involvement, but I was determined to not let these factors impact my college experience. I jumped head first into the York College Community and was accepted with open arms into whatever groups I wanted to become affiliated with on campus.…

    Another wonderful thing about honor classes is that we have also been allowed to work in groups; and by doing so, we will be better prepared for the workforce where such skills will be needed. I have also discovered several mentors through the honors program, all of who have helped me in a myriad of ways. Some continue to help me through my life, encouraging me whenever I am consumed with self doubt. Some professors even go as far as to advise me on what I need to accomplish in the future in order to obtain my goals. Others are there for me in more academic ways, and assist me whenever I am struggling with a concept. This is a delightful attribute to the honors program, as such characteristics are not always found throughout the campus. Lastly, although it is not yet my past nor my present another event that I believe will benefit me greatly is the Tennessee Collegiate Honors Conference. This event will provide to me experience in academic public speaking which is something I will need to be able to do in my future career. All of these factors have come together to make my time spent in the honors program beneficial to my future; moreover, my time here has overall been both gratifying and…

    Consequently, PNMS can use the information of a sorority or fraternity’s philanthropy to help them decide if they want to join that Greek letter organization. Unfortunately, in speaking to the University of Michigan’s Assistant Director of Greek Life Shannon Cohen, I discovered that the philanthropic component of sorority and fraternity life does have a disadvantage. In her interview, Cohen informed me that “when a tragedy happens or when somebody is harmed, one of the first things people will say…

    My respects to all alumnae because Meredith College has a price tag that can easily submit one to the doom, however all the years of struggle cannot only be well worth the day of commencement. I would connect with alumnae who over the years have slept late for completing in coursework but also Cornhusking, endured stress from work and balancing extracircular activities, and the love for all Meredith traditions and their significance. Once having graduated becoming alumnae would mean, I finally got through the hurls yet lovely experiences of Meredith College. I would finally be in the shoes of my bigger strong women, a Meredith…
