This past year has proven to be a very productive and positive year for Alpha Delta Gamma. We started the year out in New Orleans at Convention with the addition of Bill Phelan as Vice President of Internal Affairs and Alex Razzook as the new Student Representative. Most of the Council had one year of experience with the new government organization under their belt, and was prepared to take on the new year with high hopes of expansion and an increased focus on chapter organization.
In the middle of the fall semester I announced that Mark Ryan was going to become the new moderator. Mark is an alumnus of Beta Chapter at Saint Louis University. He graduated from SLU and then took on the role of advisor for that chapter. He is currently finishing up his work at the seminary in preparation for becoming a Jesuit Priest. We are very excited to have him join the National Council.
The spring brought even more opportunities for inter-chapter growth and expansion. The website has been continually updated and modified. This publicity has increased the number of schools and interest groups contacting us for expansion at least ten-fold over previous years. Several of these groups have great potential of becoming a chapter of Alpha Delta Gamma.
