Now that I'm a senior, I'm starting to look at possible grad schools. I plan on going to grad school studying Elementary Education (or gifted education). I am seriously looking at Purdue University, Michigan State University, and the Ohio State University. Each of these universities happens to also have active Delta Gamma chapters. I am just curious as to what sort of interaction graduate students have with these chapters, if any. Not specifically at those schools, but in general, do graduate students have any interaction with collegiate chapters? :confused:

My first little (out of four) is in Grad School at American University. She got herself involved with the chapter there and is the Programming Adviser for them. I think it all depends on your motivation to get involved and your willingness to help. ;)

My mom has been a gifted education director for her school district for almost 30 years and she also teaches graduate courses at a small women's college in SC. She highly recommends the College of William and Mary for gifted studies in addition to Purdue and Ohio State. Let me know if you have any questions about other schools or programs. I'm sure she'd be happy to advise! :)

I think being involved as an alumnae w/ an alumni group is a great idea. I think that as for being a college advsior to a chapter they may want someone to be a little older and not just fresh out of college. At least that is my understanding. I would email EO just to make sure :)

I say go for seeking out the alumni group, and be involved as a chapter advisor, if you have the time! One of my very best friends was the Chapter Advisor at Duke when she was in Grad school at UNC Chapel Hill. She invited me to help her at their initiation, and she was excellent at helping out the girls. I think they related well to her because she was young and hadn't been away from collegiate life for long. When I was at OU, I would say that probably 75% of our chapter advisors were in their 20's to very early 30's, many were recent graduates. I think if you wanted to be an advisor, it would be a great opportunity! I would contact the chapter whenever you decide on your school, and see in what capacity you can get involved. Have fun!

Wow! That is something I'd really like to look into. I would really like to be an advisor, I just didn't know if they liked people so young...out youngest advisor is probably 33-35 or so. But I would like to be involved in some way...even as just an alumnae.
