Be Engaged. Be Mobile.

We all live crazy busy lives. That is the #1 reason women say they cannot be involved in their local alumnae association. And why shouldn't you be? Everyday you do amazing things! Many of those thing you do without thinking; workshops to buy homes, vote, charity runs, check out a theater show, pay your DPhiE alumna dues. 

Did you know those are all things that count to make you an active, engaged alumna? It's true!

The Cream City Alumnae Association wants to be there when you are doing all these amazing things. Introducing our new mobile app: CreamCityDPhiE

The app is easy to download just follow these steps:

1. Go to myapp.is/CreamCityDPhiE in your smartphone or tablet's browser.

2. Tap the export button and then "Add to Home Screen". Done!

The app features news of the chapter, events we having and links to our Facebook and website. The most notable feature the app has is our PEARL tracker. 

Remember the PEARL program? The 5 S's (Self, Service, Social, Sisterhood, Scholarship) guided us through our undergraduate sorority experience. The 5 C's are the alumnae extension (Character, Civic, Cultural, Connection, Career) to the PEARL program.

The PEARL tracker allows members to add their pearls as they complete them. Just pick the category and add.

An email of your pearl is sent to our team for tracking.

Not sure what your activity qualifies for? Look below the submission form and examples of each are listed.

We hope this gives you helpful guide in how to live through your expectations of alumnae membership.

Crafts and Cocktails

Our first event of the new year, Crafts and Cocktails, was a great success, with over half of our membership in attendance. The women of the Cream City Alumnae Association tackled two crafts for the evening; an acrylic painting of their choice and a Pinterest washer necklace.

Here are the individual painting creations.

Unfortunately, only two of the necklaces were successful... Still look nice though!

Erin Fossum with her "hot air balloon" painting.

Tracy Hempel with her color blotch painting. It's as colorful as she is!

Katie Farchmin was super exciting for her first attempt ever at painting. Did a great job too! She was so inspired she bought a set of paints for herself the next day.

Slightly obsessed with chevron and her dog, Maureen Anderson combined the two a contemporary piece.

Overall, a great night for all members who attended.
