Cleveland West Shore Alumnae Group
We are a group of women who enjoy a variety of activities, such as helping
the Cleveland Sight Center,
participating in fun social activities with and without our spouses, and
ladies bridge. Our group consists
of women in all different age ranges from newly graduated alumnae to many 50
year members, including career-oriented women, and stay-at-home moms. The two alumnae groups, the West Shore
and East Side were originally one
group. We formed two separate
chapters in 1955 and continue to share Founders Day each year.
MEMBERSHIP
There are 400 Delta Gamma Alumnae living on Cleveland’s west side. The chapter
consists of approximately 90 dues paying members. An average meeting
attendance ranges from 20 - 40. We maintain a database with careers, school
attended and year of initiation. Every woman in the database will receive the
first newsletter of the year which is printed in the fall. The remaining three newsletters of the
year will be sent to dues paying members and the programs listing will appear
on this web site. There are other perks of membership, such as a copy of our
directory which includes all the DGs living on the west side.
PROGRAMS
Our programs for the year include the September kickoff potluck, our December
holiday party and ornament exchange.
Please see the Events portion of our web site.
FOUNDATION
Cleveland West
Shore Alumnae drive for
the west side’s anchor club meetings, which is for sight impaired
individuals. Fundraising
activities include an annual pecan sale, the Sally Foster Wrapping Paper
sale, and “Make It, Bake It, Fake It” Auction. Our proceeds are donated to the Delta
Gamma Foundation and the Cleveland
Sight Center.
SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS
We have a ladies bridge and couples bridge group. Ladies bridge will run September
through May. Ladies will play
once a month at arrangement of the foursome. We are always eager for more
players! If you need a partner,
please call Connie Lauderback or Margie Strimbu.
We also have a Happy Hour
Hannah’s group for women that have graduated within the past 15
years. All of the Happy
Hour Hannah events will be listed on the Events portion of this website.
FINANCE
The Alumnae Group’s dues are $25 per year. We also accept Helpful Hannah
contributions which defray some of our operating expenses and Foundation
donations, which will be donated to the Delta Gamma Foundation or the
Cleveland Sight Center.
PANHELLENIC
We are a member of the local National Panhellenic Association. The Cleveland
Area Panhellenic promotes a closer relationship between sororities and the
community, along with collegians in the area. Our group collects items for Ronald
McDonald House where the CAP meetings are held and participates in a yearly fundraiser.
NEWSLETTER
The Cleveland
West Shore newsletter is produced four times per year and informs members of
coming events and past happenings. Features include communications from the
president, a calendar of upcoming events and standing reports.
