Events

To celebrate Spring and the end of our New England hibernation, the Boston Area Regional Graduate Organization is having a Month of Games.
This April, there's a game night happening every weekend!

Sat. 4/5 1-4pm: Parlor Games (Taboo, Balderdash, Apples-to-Apples, etc.) in Arlington with Jen
Sun. 4/13 6-10pm: Under-an-hour Board Games (Clue, Carcassonne, Fluxx, etc) in Cambridge with Anna
Mon. 4/21 2-10pm: All-Afternoon Games (Settlers of Catan, Buffy the Game, etc) in Somerville with Andrea & Corey

It was an exciting weekend at the Middletown Chapter House at 185 High Street in Middletown, Connecticut. Just 16 hours after pledging twenty-three members of the Wesleyan University community, the chapter hosted the first initiation ceremony for the Granite Affiliate Chapter, based at the University of New Hampshire.

Camp Xaipe is an exciting Boston-area summer-long initiative spearheaded by Camp Directors Andrea Mercado (Mid '96) and Anna Pinkert (Mid '06), who are organizing, and encouraging others to organize, outings in the Boston area to keep us alumni out of trouble for the summer.

The Board of Governors at its February 8 meeting awarded the Washington, D.C. Regional Graduate Organization the right to host the Alpha Delta Phi Society's 8th Convention and Leadership Conference.

Arrangements for this event are underway, and organizers expect to host the Convention during October 2007. More information will be posted on this web site as organizers finalize Convention arrangements.

adpsBoston is island-bound on a day-trip to Martha's Vineyard on September 2nd, the Saturday of Labor Day weekend.

There's a new page up for adpsBoston, the Boston-area Regional Graduate Organization. While there are no adpsBoston-specific events at this time, I'm optimistic that having an up-to-date page will inspire people.

The best way to be informed about Boston-area goings-on is to subscribe to the Boston mailing list. The webpage will just be a summary of what's going on generally.

A million thanks to webmaster superstar Rob Austein, who was incredibly helpful in getting the up-to-date page installed!

I wanted to take this moment to remind everyone who would like to be reimbursed for Convention travel or expenses or would like to report contributed expenses to please make your request as soon as possible.

We are eligible to request a grant from the Samuel Eells Literary and Educational Foundation (formerly the Alpha Delta Phi Foundation) for convention expenses. The grant size we can request back is tied to the total cost of our Convention.

So, getting these reimbursement and contributed expense reports done quickly is important so we can make our grant request to the Foundation.

Tonight I added the first event to the Alpha Delta Phi Society's events calendar. I hope all members of the Society will use this new service -- and help keep it up-to-date with the latest Alpha Delt events.

Undergraduate events, graduate events, regional conferences, etc., can all be posted here. Are you an undergraduate or graduate member putting on a conference, gallery display, reading, or other event? Let us know, and we can include it here.

We will be adding other users who can post events in the coming weeks. For now, send me your ideas at president(at)adps.org and I will make s
