Welcome to the Psi Chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta! My name is Abby Pate, and I have the honor of serving this extraordinary group of women as Chapter President. Being a member of Alpha Gam for three years now, I have witnessed the true strength of these friendships through many different seasons of life. Coming into college, I sought to surround myself with women who welcomed me for who I truly was, all while inspiring me to leave the University of Alabama better than I found it. I fell in love with Alpha Gam during Recruitment because the women of this house never failed to help me feel welcomed and cherished. With each round of Recruitment, I left the house more and more confident that the women of Alpha Gam were the community I wanted to spend the next four years surrounded by. The joy and care our members have for one another far surpasses Bid Day. Our members are dedicated to being well-rounded individuals while achieving excellence and serving the community in which they are placed. Service is a key pillar of who we are as Alpha Gams. No matter where you go or what pocket of campus you choose to be involved in, an Alpha Gam will be there too and she will likely be there leading and encouraging you every step of the way. With six years in a row of top grades on campus, our members pursue excellence in all we do. We are so proud of our members and while it isn’t these awards that make our sisterhood valuable, it is our sisterhood that makes these awards possible. This chapter has shaped me in ways I never thought possible, all while supporting me in every phase of life. The women of this chapter have loved me, led me, and challenged me in pursuit of being a better friend, student, and member of the Tuscaloosa community. Alpha Gam is a place where members leave better than they came, and when they leave, they’re leaving with memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.
