Academic Initiatives
In order to continue upholding standards of excellence in education, we implemented two new initiatives. First, everyone is partnered up with an active sister as a study buddy as a way to motivate and encourage one another in our academics. We are assigned new study buddies bi-monthly. Second, we have implemented mandatory study hours every week. Although we are in good standing with both DePaul University and Headquarters, we are striving toward individual and collective improvement as well as awards for Standards of Distinction.

Undergraduate Spotlight
When asked what her favorite thing is about being a Gamma, Stephanie said, “Being able to take on leadership roles and being able to balance my academic and personal life.” She lives by the quote, “Those who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed.” - Lloyd Jones
