Alpha Beta-University of Michigan
Thanks to the generous support of alumnae, chapters, family and Foundation friends, endowments are created to support sisters in a variety of ways. The following endowments are available specifically for Alpha Beta Chapter.
Consider a donation to these endowments to give more sisters the extra financial boost to pursue their dreams.
SPECIAL GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
The Alpha Beta Past Grand Council Members Scholarship was established by Charlotte Bryant Miller (past Grand Treasurer and Crescent wearer), Joan Randolph Hatch (past Grand Secretary and Crescent with Diamonds wearer) and Phebe Morse Swinehart (past Third Grand Vice President in charge of Fraternity Education and wearer of the Circle of Epsilon Pi). All three felt their experience and life in Alpha Beta Chapter made them aware of the value of being a member of Alpha Gamma Delta. Phebe entered Chapter Grand in 2005.
The Peggy Kuebler Field Scholarship benefits sisters of Alpha Beta Chapter studying nursing or the medical field and was endowed by Peggy Kuebler Field, Alpha Beta '64, in celebration of her Trustee service to the Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation and in appreciation for all she received through her Alpha Gamma Delta membership.
The Katy Duhamel Scholarship was established in memory of Katy by her husband and benefits sisters of Alpha Beta Chapter. Katy was initiated in 1981 and entered Chapter Grand in 2018.
