A Los Angeles Junior Circle is forming! All Alpha Gamma Delta alumnae aged 35 and younger in the area are encouraged to participate. This is a great way to meet new sisters in the area and participate in events that fit into your schedule. Please join us at IRD on April 21st or the American Diabetes Walk/Run on May 5th. If you would like more information on the Junior Circle or the events we have planned, please contact Wendi Kepner Harrell at wendi@agd-la.org or check out our website at www.agd-la.org.

The Kappa Gamma Chapter is located on the Bay of Corpus Christi, Texas, at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. The weather has been foggy, rainy and cold lately which is very unusual to this area. However, we have not let that slow us down any.

We have been very busy on and off campus promoting various events. We have just finished our annual Teeter-Totter-a-Thon in which we teeter-totter for 24 hours. It was a very successful philanthropy event both financially and for our sisterhood. We were able to get to know some of the new members better. The chapter was very enthusiastic about the event and so was the community. We appeared on the news and in the paper. Our philanthropy efforts have been very successful this year and we are of course very proud.

In the middle of February, Homecoming activities were held and the Alpha Gams jumped right in the contests sponsored by the school. We won first place in a contest for building decorations and second place in a banner contest. To top it all off, one of our sisters, Andria Peidra, won Homecoming Queen. This was the second time that the school has held a Homecoming and both times an Alpha Gam was named queen. Congratulations Andria!

So all in all, things are going great for our chapter.

We will be initiating three wonderful girls after Spring Break and going to San Antonio to visit the alumnae. Unfortunately, at the end of the semester we will be graduating four sisters, two of which were charter members. Erin Valdez and Andria Peidra are wonderful women with a bright future and we wish them the best of luck. Carolyn Wells is a charter member and has been a wall of stability for the chapter that can not be matched. Last, but not least, Mariah Yardley is also a charter member, a great leader for this chapter as President and a role model since her birth into its sisterhood. Congratulations, Mariah, on being named the Most Outstanding Graduating Senior -- you definitely deserve the title. Congratulations ladies! You will be missed.
