Mentoring Program
To ensure the success of expansion to your school, Alpha Phi Gamma has established a mentor program to help you through the experience.

Pledge Mom:	is there to educate and guide the pledge class as a whole through the pledging program.
Host School:	is on Active Chapter, who will take on the responsibility of mentoring the "Interest Group" and helping them learn the meaning and history of the sorority.
Expansion Chair:	is the initial contact person when starting the process of expansion to a new school.
