When I look at Alpha Iota today, its hard to believe it all only started 8 months ago. Back in September I had the ‘America Blues’ and one day, I decided I was going to start up my own sorority in the UK, just like my friends back in the USA. At this time I had no idea how much it would grow and how successful it would become!
This year we have become one of the biggest societies at Dundee University with around 40 dedicated members. We have been involved in every aspect of student life, collaborating with other societies, putting on public events for students, and cooperating with the Student Representative Comittee (SRC) to ensure that all of our members make the most out of their experience at Uni and with AI.
We have put on several events, all of which have been a tremendous success. These include the Sorority Hunt, Initiations Night, our Cash for Kids Bakesale, and of course the highly successful Frat Party, which was one of the busiest society events of the year.
Throughout the year we have built up a great committee, all of whom I thank with all my heart, as this could never have happened without all of your help. We have also been graced with a society full of loyal and dedicated members, who have worked so hard to promote our society and our events, had flawless attendance, and are all simply amazing people. So thank you all for making AI/DE such a success. I want to thank the VPSA at Dusa, Rachael Doherty, who helped me start up AI. She not only talked me through the whole thing but she has also become a great friend and mentor. And finally I want to thank my VP Rachael Deas. She has kept me sane throughout every event, and helped so much in every aspect of the society. Sorry for driving you mad at times Rach!
All I can say now is how proud I am of everyone in Alpha Iota/Delta Epsilon, its been such an honour to get to know you all and I count you all as friends 4 LYF.
Thank you, love you all, and have a great summer!
