CHAPTER PRESIDENT

My name is Sarah Cushman and I have the honor of serving as Chapter President for Alpha Gam this year!

Since Bid Day, Alpha Gam has surrounded me with a group of strong, driven women who call me higher and push me to be better in every way. These girls are also a place of comfort and love in the midst of the many new experiences that college brings. I fell in love with Alpha Gam during recruitment because I felt encouraged and uplifted to be myself by the girls in the chapter. I left each round more confident that Alpha Gam was the sisterhood I wanted to spend my next four years with. Since freshman year, the girls in this chapter have exceeded every expectation. They love me, lead me, and challenge me to be a better friend, student, and member of the Auburn family.

The members of Alpha Gam are well-rounded. Each member shows incredible ambition in academics, campus involvement, and community service. We strive to push each other to grow, support one another through every challenge, and celebrate each other’s successes. Whether it’s through philanthropy, leadership opportunities, or just sharing a laugh during a casual hangout, our sisterhood is built on the foundation of kindness, love, and a commitment to excellence.

My favorite part of being an Alpha Gam is experiencing the blessing that our girls truly cherish each friendship that is formed within the chapter. I truly believe that each girl leaves the chapter better than they came, and they leave with memories and friendships that will last a lifetime. Alpha Gam has taught me what true friendship is and the importance of what it means to be a sister. One line of our purpose is “to cherish friendships,” and I am confident that I will be doing just that once my time at Auburn is over.

Being an Alpha Gam for the past three years has allowed me to witness the strength and love of these friendships through many different seasons of life. These girls celebrate the best days, and on bad days they show unconditional grace, sincerity, and humility.

Alpha Gam has shaped me into the woman I am today. It is a joy to lead this group of women who are not only passionate about fostering lifelong friendships but also committed to making a positive impact on Auburn’s campus, in our community, and beyond.
