Give to the sisters of Alpha Gamma Delta! Alpha Gamma Delta Welcome to our Crowdfunding Page! We are the active sisters of Duquesne University’s Chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta! We would like to take this time to thank you for checking out this page for our crowdfunding campaign! As the sisters of Alpha Gamma Delta, we focus on living on a purposeful life through sisterhood, education, and especially service. With your generosity through donations, we will be given the opportunity to strengthen these values, and even create new opportunities for future sisters to come! Our Impact in the Duquesne Community As sisters of Alpha Gamma Delta, we are not only very involved on Duquesne University’s campus, but in the Pittsburgh community as well. We are a diverse group of 104 women who contribute many different qualities and strengths, which inevitably leads to the success of our sisterhood. Our sisters are very involved on campus through being members of different professional and service organizations, and even holding leadership positions on executive board in these organizations. Along with having a strong presence on campus, we hold our sisters to a high academic standard. Because of these efforts, we have been awarded the Academic Excellence Award for the past few years, which is being recognized for maintaining the highest GPA on campus. Alpha Gamma Delta’s international philanthropy focuses on Fighting Hunger. To help achieve our philanthropic goals, we partner with Meals on Wheels and Feeding America, as well as local organizations around Pittsburgh. Our chapter has been awarded Jewel Status for the past 15 years, which recognizes us for exceeding the expected amount of money we are supposed to raise for our philanthropy. In addition to raising money, we strive to bring awareness to this issue and foster Greek unity by hosting on campus events. As the sisters of Alpha Gamma Delta, we contribute to the world’s work in the community where we are placed, in Downtown Pittsburgh, through the following efforts: Our sorority organizes two annual large-scale philanthropic events including, our 1st annual Hunger Games in the fall and Water Wars in the spring Collaborate with organizations on campus, specifically St. Vincent de Paul, which is an organization that works closely with those facing homelessness in our Pittsburgh community Bought and assembled over 80 bags consisting of basic necessities to pass out to those in need in Downtown Pittsburgh Throughout the year, we organize various projects for our philanthropy, consisting of volunteering and fundraising opportunities including, St. Jubilee Soup Kitchen, hosting bake sales, organizing canned food drives etc. We also prepare meals for the families at the Ronald McDonald House. Why are we Crowdfunding? As our chapter grows and diversifies, we see potential to develop our presence in our community. In order to do this, we seek your assistance through your generosity in contributing to our cause. By donating to Alpha Gamma Delta, we will be provided with new opportunities to strengthen our sisterhood and core values in areas such as, Sending sisters to different service immersion opportunities Sending sisters to leadership conferences Providing student programming, scholarship and additional chapter needs Providing amenities or upgrades for the Alpha Gamma Delta wing Purchase supplies to assist at local soup kitchens * Use of all donations must be approved by Rebecca Mickler, Director of Greek Life.

Gamma Phi 2019
By Gamma Phi
Give to the brothers of Gamma Phi!
Give to the brothers of Gamma Phi! Gamma Phi Duquesne University Gamma Phi Fraternity We, the Brothers of the Gamma Phi Fraternity, would like to cordially thank you for visiting our crowd funding page. For those who may not know, the Gamma Phi Fraternity was founded at Duquesne in 1916, where it has remained for the past 103 years. As of today, we remain the oldest and last remaining local fraternity in the great city of Pittsburgh. Because Gamma Phi was founded at Duquesne University, the Brotherhood has a rich and illustrious history with the University. Throughout the past 103 years, the Gamma Phi Fraternity has produced generations of respectable Alum who have left Duquesne better men because of the Brotherhood instilled by the Gamma Phi Fraternity. And that is why we ask for your help today. Current State of the Gamma Phi Fraternity Throughout the past 10 years, the presence of the Gamma Phi Fraternity at Duquesne University had diminished dramatically. However, the Brotherhood has seen a significant turnaround within the past two years. Our numbers have more than doubled, with a total of five members at the beginning of last year, to twelve members today. Albeit our numbers are small, we are still trying to preserve the brotherhood that has been passed down through generations at Duquesne as well as grow our numbers to be, once again, a sizable fraternity. With awards last year for Formal Greek Sing and Outstanding Recruitment, the Gamma Phi Fraternity is trying to reestablish itself as a proactive and engaging fraternity on campus, as it was once before. That is why your donations are at the upmost importance to help preserve our traditions and the presence we have at Duquesne. What will donations be used for? With your help and generous donations, we will be able to fund many events, projects, and activities for our brothers. Our large-scale philanthropy event, Dancing with the Dukes, was quite a success last year. Even with our low budget and time constraints, we pulled off the most successful Gamma Phi philanthropy event in years, bringing in about $600 dollars which was donated to both the PA Lupus Foundation and the Prince of Peace Parish. With extra funding through your donations, next year’s Dancing with the Dukes will be much bigger and will bring in far more money for our philanthropy. Other areas in which donations would be helpful to us would be purchasing our fraternity’s insurance, any Greek Life fees (for Greek Week and Carnival), new Gamma Phi letters, graduation medallions, apparel for new brothers, composites, maintaining the Gamma Phi War Memorial on campus, and assisting with many smaller fundraising efforts for our philanthropy and our brothers, such as the Dek Hockey tournament we are hosting in April. Increasing our presence on campus is a top priority of the brothers of Gamma Phi, and your generous donations will make that possible. Your Donations Matter! Due to our current size and state, your donations will go a long way to preserving the Brotherhood of Gamma Phi. This crowd funding campaign gives us the opportunity to expand and grow our Fraternity unlike we previously imagined. And no matter the amount, your donations are always appreciated! If you would like to help us out in any other way you can follow our Instagram account @gammaphiduq or you can share this crowd funding page on any social media outlet. And lastly, all the Brothers of the Gamma Phi Fraternity would like to thank you for your help and support of this thriving fraternity at Duquesne University. Exaultabund Domino Ossa Humiliata

As you know, we value brotherhood, education and service, and a successful campaign would help us to make these efforts even stronger while also showing the Duquesne University community the strong bond we have with our alumni brothers and friends. What are the Phi Kaps up to at Duquesne University? We have a very active chapter this year, hosting 28 active members, along with 7 associate members about to join the brotherhood officially. A lot of our members are very active in the fraternity itself, as well as with the Duquesne University and Pittsburgh communities! Some of our recent accomplishments include Raising around $1500 for Children’s Miracle Network by hosting our annual Monte Carlo Night casino event for students, faculty, and alumni! Our event was very successful last year, bringing in over 100 people! We have continued our annual Lenten fish fry for the campus donating around $3000 total to Children’s Miracle Network last year! This year, Phi Kappa Theta and Sigma Nu came together to sponsor a philanthropy event, raising money for the Tree of Life synagogue after the devastating shooting. We sold Pittsburgh strong bracelets and with the support of everyone who purchased them, we donated $1270 to the synagogue. The brothers of Phi Kappa Theta strive day-to-day to live up to Duquesne’s mission of serving God by serving students as well as our motto of “Give, Expecting Nothing Thereof.” Why Are We Crowdfunding? Duquesne University has established Greek Life Student Support Funds for each sorority and fraternity on campus. These gift accounts allow us to accept donations, which we can use to help cover the costs of our most immediate needs. Examples of how these funds may be used: Pay for transportation, meals, etc. for brothers to attend the Phi Kappa Theta National Conference this year Provide extra amenities/upgrades for the Phi Kappa Theta wing Provide student programming, scholarship and additional chapter needs for our members * Use of all donations must be approved by Rebecca Mickler, Director of Greek Life. Please Donate Today! It would mean so much to us to see our Phi Kappa Theta alumni, family and friends from around the world donate to our campaign. Even a donation of $10 will make a difference!
