The most rewarding work of Delta happens at the alumnae level. When preparing to transition, keep an open mind, heart and Delta spirit. Remember your vows and welcome change! I joined NMAC because my collegiate prophytes were members of the recently chartered NMAC, so not transitioning was not an option. I also felt an instant connection to the Sorors there, both my peers and those with more years in Delta.

It is important to transition to an alumnae chapter to continue the work that we started in college. Moreover, we all join the sorority to do the work of Delta and that doesn't end once we graduate from our collegiate chapters. One piece of advice that I would share is to truly shop around when choosing an alumnae chapter. It is important to know what the alumnae chapter stands for before joining. I chose to join NMAC after visiting, and truly felt the warmth and love of sorors. I like the work that NMAC does within North Manhattan, [considering] the history of the chapter and how long it has been in existence. NMAC has been doing wonderful things in Manhattan for years. Since NMAC’s chartering, it has been heavily involved in the community and I admired its dedication to the work of Delta.

While you are born into Delta through your collegiate chapter, you are raised in an alumnae chapter. It is important to mature in Delta in the same way you mature in life. Exposure to and collaboration with members of all ages, backgrounds and chapters of initiation are critical to developing a stronger sense of community within Delta. You have the unique opportunity and distinction of experiencing Delta at the collegiate level as our Founders did, but also carrying the torch for life on the alumnae level as our Founders envisioned. Just as importantly, alumnae chapters need the enthusiasm, ideas, leadership, energy, work ethic and love of our younger members. We are better and more relevant with the involvement and support of our young Deltas. I implore you to learn, serve, lead, grow and love. I joined NMAC based on the strength of its reputation for Deltas about the business of serving.

It is important to transition to an alumnae chapter after college because Delta is a LIFETIME commitment. At the alumnae chapter level, you may interact with Sorors from all different walks of life. You are immersed in the work of Delta and have the ability to serve on a larger platform. I would advise a collegiate Soror to not be worried about transitioning into an alumnae chapter. Once they attend their first chapter meeting, they may experience a period of slight adjustment, but it will surely pay off in the end. Hang in there and really take the time to learn the ins and outs of Delta. It will truly be rewarding and you will find love everywhere you go. I joined NMAC because I wanted to apart of an esteemed, diverse group of women who love to serve. NMAC sorors have opened up their homes to me and have been more than welcoming, even before joining the chapter. NMAC has been my home away from home.
