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.

Great Strides Walk 2012

On a gorgeous spring day, the Cystic Fibrosis Great Strides walk was held on May 20th, 2012 in O'Donnell Park in downtown Milwaukee. The event has gotten so large they had to move it from its previous home at the Milwaukee County Zoo. 

Walkers of all ages filled the park ready to fight CF.

Cream City Alumnae President, Maureen Dolezal, walked with her fiance in honor of the Alumnae Association. She raised over $200 to help our national philanthropy in honor of her sisters.

Snowtubing Fun

On February 18th, 2012, alumnae sisters and their families took the Sunburst Ski Area hills for some snowtubing excursions. The day was was warm and sunny. The hills were packed with family fun.

Great Strides for Cystic Fibrosis

Today the women of the Cream City Alumnae Association participated in the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's Great Strides Walk at the Milwaukee County Zoo. The weather wasn't the greatest with 40 mph winds, but that couldn't keep the "Unicorn Unit" down.Our four member team raised $740!  We didn't take home the best spirit award, but we definitely felt like we did. Many people at the zoo smiled at our costumes.We were very happy with the results of our first walk and look forward to participating in the event next year.

Officially "Recognized"

As of yesterday, the Cream City Alumnae Association is a "Recognized Alumnae Association" with International Headquarters (IHQ). This excites all of us for all the possibilities of our association.

This weekend is the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's Great Strides walk that we are participating in. So far, we have raised over $700 for CFF and still have a few days to go. If you haven't donated already and want to please do so here.
