International asked us on Twitter to complete this sentence:

"I'm thankful for Alpha Gam because _________."

I’ll start.

I’m thankful for Alpha Gam because of the amazing experienced as a collegian, and those as an alumna as well, through our amazing collection of bloggers on every topic imaginable I’ve been able to connect with sisters across the country and across generations.

Share yours’ in the comments on this blog or on the Facebook post.

Sister Spotlight–Rachele Lynae

2012-05-16T13:51:00.001-05:00

Rachele Lynae an Alpha Gamma Delta Theta Tau (Belmont University – Nashville, TN) Alumna has just released her first single and music video, Party til the Cows Come Home on Jamie O’Neal’s new label Momentum Group. I’m so excited for Rachele, who is indeed the sweetest person you’ll ever meet and who truly aspires to live with purpose. Theta Tau was so very lucky to have her incredible talent in our recruitment skits and Greek Sing performances.

I hope you’ll take the opportunity to check out her video and ‘like’ her Facebook page.

Loyally,

Kirstin

Each day, we'll take one album (or more) and look at every song on there. I'll include some videos to watch, and my own little thoughts before, during, and after the listen. It's a fun way to discover new music in it's entire album form, with a view on it all from a girl who simply adores music.

Silly Talking Squirrel App

2012-04-18T16:33:00.000-05:00

I debated whether or not to post this, but decided given the amount of time Alpha Gams spend waiting it could provide some silly entertainment.
I present “Talking James Squirrel” a free Android App.
He’s basically “Talking Tom Cat” but in cuter squirrel form.

He’s silly and cute. Enjoy.
He is available for iphone but is $.99 cents, and honestly not worth it…

Squirrels help science

2012-02-28T09:31:00.000-06:00

Squirrels get a lot of flack for being an annoyance at times, but here’s a neat article on how a 30,000 year old squirrel’s stash of burrowed food has been retrieved from Siberian permafrost and one of the extinct flowers was regenerated. Nice work ancient squirrel!
