Volunteer
Gamma Phi Beta volunteers are valuable supporters who devote their time, energy, experience and expertise to the Sorority. They impact policies and programs that affect our sisterhood and play an active role in advancing the future of our Sorority. The benefits our Sorority and collegians receive from our strong core of alumnae volunteers are immeasurable. To learn more about our volunteer opportunities, email alumnae@gammaphibeta.org.
Benefits of Volunteering
Personal and Professional Development
Volunteer positions provide our members with excellent opportunities for professional development and personal growth. Our volunteers work in a variety of areas for the Sorority and can explore new areas of individual interest while expanding their team-working, communication and relationship-building skills. Any résumé is enhanced through volunteerism as you sharpen your business savvy, career knowledge, time-management and aptitude.
Sisterhood and Networking
Gamma Phi Beta volunteers develop new friendships with sisters across the country. Volunteer opportunities vary from working with collegians to working with other alumnae. Volunteers connect with each other virtually and in-person. Our Sorority volunteers enjoy working with other members and inspiring the highest type of womanhood as they develop lasting relationships.
Whatever your schedule allows, Gamma Phi Beta has a volunteer position for you! You can start small by volunteering at a one-time event such as recruitment or Initiation; some members even "e-volunteer," serving volunteer hours electronically.
Volunteer Roles and Responsibilities
As a member-driven organization, Gamma Phi Beta is comprised of volunteers who manage, lead and direct the programs, operations and vision of the Sorority. The following is information on our various volunteer roles and responsibilities.
Collegiate Chapter Advisors
Chapter advisors enjoy a rewarding opportunity to mentor, guide and support our collegiate members. A board of local alumnae motivates and advises each collegiate chapter in all areas of chapter operations, leading them toward future and continued success.
A chapter advisor attends chapter and executive council meetings and chairs the advisory board. Other potential advisors include recruitment, new member, financial, education, public relations, ritual and scholarship.
Affiliated House Corporation
Alumnae with talents in facility management, personnel management, rental property or finance are encouraged to serve on their local affiliated house corporation (AHC). AHC volunteers help manage the chapter facility and day-to-day operations of the facility, including meal service, employee relations, maintenance and improvements. It is through their volunteer efforts that Gamma Phi Beta is able to provide chapter housing for its members.
Alumnae Chapter Leadership
Involvement as an alumnae chapter member provides a wonderful opportunity to remain actively involved with Gamma Phi Beta after college! Gamma Phi Betas of all ages are encouraged to join an alumnae chapter and become involved as members, officers and leaders.
International Volunteers
Volunteers serve a central role in the operations of the larger organization through roles focused on collegiate and alumnae experiences, as well as special projects. Each of Gamma Phi Betas collegiate chapter regions is supported by a regional team leader and specialty area volunteers who help collegiate chapter officers and advisors create a premier member experience. Alumnae engagement efforts are supported by volunteers in both long-term roles, like alumnae chapter supervisors, and shorter-term opportunities, such as Gamma Phi Get-Together and Dinner With 12 Sisters hosts. Alumnae also serve on a variety of committees and task forces to provide guidance and recommendations to the Sorority and help ensure Gamma Phi Beta is positioned for continued success.
International Council
Serving on International Council (IC) is one of the most revered and honored volunteer roles within our Sorority. The outstanding women of IC serve as the board of directors for Gamma Phi Beta and are charged with setting the vision of the organization. Voted into office by our membership at Convention, the seven voting members of International Council serve two-year terms.
