The Panhellenic Association and Interfraternity Council Newsletter for Missouri Western State University

As with every year, the end is bittersweet. We look forward to the new semester, which will bring new members, exciting activities, and a fresh start. At the same time, we bid farewell to the seniors who have shaped and supported the Greek-letter community. The Visionary was created to showcase the excellence of Missouri Western's social Greek-letter organizations, and invite them to tout their lessons learned, accomplishments, and distinguished members. Among this community, we have stellar scholars, award-winning young alumni/ae, future philanthropists, and some of the most hard-working individuals a person is likely to meet during his or her collegiate career. Collegians, thank you for this excellent year. I have been honored to advise the Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Association, and am excited for what you will accomplish next semester, next year, and in the years to come. Congratulations on a semester full of events to be proud of, and congratulations to our seniors!

All the best,Madeleine (Maddy) PascoCoordinator, Center for Student InvolvementAdviser, Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Association

Alpha Gamma DeltaΑΓΔ raised at least $2000 per academic

year since chartering 24 years ago

Alpha Gam had a packed semester! Highlights including Week of Service, Family Day, Highway Cleanup, and the initiation of seven new members through continuous open bidding. At the Student Organization Awards and Recognition reception, AGD was awarded “Sorority of the Year,” three women earned a place on the Dean’s List, and three women earned a place on the President’s List for their Fall grades. After raising over $2000 in philanthropy dollars during the 2018-19 school year, AGD is very excited to be a Jewel Chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta for the 24th year in a row, an accomplishment achieved by only one-fourth of chapters nationwide, and one they’ve maintained since their chartering at Missouri Western. Next semester, look out for Teeter-Totter-A-Thon in October!
