LINKS
A Chain is Only as Strong as Its Weakest LINKS In the recent past the most successful activities in the Denver Alumnae Chapter of Gamma Phi Beta have provided women an opportunity to get together with other women that they know to discuss or participate in an activity with some kind of common interest. To build on this strength, we created LINKS!

S isterhood
We have created a variety of LINKS groups designed and maintained by members of the Denver Alumnae Chapter. Each LINKS group has a LINKS Leader (or a couple of co-leaders) and plans activities around some kind of common interest, goal or need.
Each LINKS group will...
- Meet about once a month
- Open attendance to all Denver Area Gamma Phi Betas
- Consist of at least 3 in the group
- Make sure that all participants pay dues
- Encourage LINKS members to RSVP to the LINKS Leader in a timely fashion
Here's a sample of some of the LINKS groups. Check out the calendar for upcoming activities for all of the LINKS.

The FAC is an opportunity for local Gamma Phi Beta alumnae to meet and mingle with other alumnae at the end of the week! All Gamma Phi Beta alumnae are welcome!
