My Gamma Alpha Lambda Girls

I got saved when I was 16 by God's sweet grace. After I was introduced to God's love, I knew I wanted to give up my life to follow Him, whatever that meant. My junior and senior high school years were tough because I really felt like this new me did not fit in. It was a difficult journey discovering who this new me was as opposed to who I had been and it was a lot for a 16 year old girl to sort through, especially in the face of the pressures of high school.

When I went to college and moved into the dorms I met the most amazing group of women. I know without a doubt these women were placed in my life by God. The women were part of a Christian founded sorority named Gamma Alpha Lambda. These women were beautiful and were on fire for God. They had their values in the right place and were smart and funny too. I rushed and joined Gamma Alpha Lambda in Fall of 2004. I became very involved in this sorority holding the philanthropy chair one year and the Vice President of Public Relations position the next. Although I was in an executive position, my sisters in the sorority taught me more than I could have ever taught them.

I am currently a GAL alum and sit on the Board of Directors for Gamma Alpha Lambda. This past weekend we held a leadership conference in Springfield. The executive members from GAL chapters all over Missouri came into town for training on leadership. I had such a wonderful time with these beautiful young ladies. I also got reunited with some fellow GAL alums. We are all grown up now and many of us have started families, but we still share a strong foundation of friendship in our Lord. The weekend was a blast and it gave me such great joy to see what God is still doing through this sorority. I would hate to see where I would be today without the support and relationships I formed in this sorority.
