About the Volunteer Service Team
Volunteer Service Team members are alumnae volunteers appointed by
International Council to serve chapters and clubs and have been trained
to assist in a general or specific area.
The Volunteer Service Team (VST) is organized to serve
communities. A community is a collegiate chapter, its house association
and its corresponding alumnae chapters and clubs. Each of these
communities has resource specialists, in several different subject areas
(e.g. finance, recruitment, member development).
Interested in learning more or becoming a VST member? Visit this section of the website for an overview of the process, job descriptions and the application.
About volunteering at the local level
The strength and success of a alumnae group and collegiate chapter often depends upon the alumnae who volunteer as officers for their alumnae group and advisors for collegiate chapters.
If you are interested in serving a local collegiate chapter as an advisor or volunteering as an alumnae group officer, please contact International Headquarters at edu@alphagammadelta.org.

Be a Pearl Sister for One of Our Upcoming California Colonies!
Support an extraordinary group of Alpha Gamma Deltas by becoming a Pearl Sister! Once our colonization recruitment events begin at the University of California, Los Angeles, University of Southern California and San Diego State University in fall 2013, we will be looking for Pearl Sisters for our new colony members. We will match each new member up with an alumna volunteer who will encourage her throughout her new member period. Pearl Sisters do not need to live close to the colony in order to participate. Communication can be anything from chatting on Facebook or Twitter to sending her cards, emails or phone calls. This is a great opportunity to convey that an Alpha Gam sister is always close!
