Alpha and Delta Diamond Sisters during Diamond Days

Diamond Sister is a special friend who sponsors an Alpha Member. She is someone to whom an Alpha may go with concerns or questions about the sorority, school or just life. This relationship is a mutual one, with each sister on equal ground, rather than the "Pledge Mom" being superior to the "Pledge Daughter."

Prides are small groups of sisters from different classes, fields of study and hometowns. Prides enable members to get to know many of their sisters well, not just those from the same Alpha Class, same major or hometown. Prides schedule fun, monthly activities including dinners, Easter egg coloring, study sessions and activities for Alphas.
