DISNEY DEVOTEES SHARE THE MAGIC

For Alpha Gams who are devoted to Disney, their passion helps spark the magic of sisterhood. Whether they visit Disney parks regularly or collect Disney merch, they are growing friendships through their common interest.

Disney Loving Alpha Gams emerged as a private Facebook group bringing Disney fans together. Created by retired Disneyland Cast Member Shari Koss, Delta Alpha-University of Southern California and Jen Papazian, Zeta Eta-Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the group has grown to include more than 630 Alpha Gams.

In October 2024, a group of 30 alumnae gathered in Orlando for an Alpha Gam Disney weekend. Jen organized the trip with weekend festivities kicking off on Friday, October 4. Upon arrival, attendees received swag boxes featuring a Disney Alpha Gam tote bag, Alpha Gam stickers, snacks and an official reunion weekend lanyard. Some members traveled together, and some brought spouses, family members or friends.

While in Orlando, the group met on Saturday evening at the Italy pavilion at Epcot for a photo and watched the fireworks together. On Sunday evening, those staying in town past the weekend attended Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party.

This year, the Disney Loving Alpha Gams will meet in Anaheim, California, at Disneyland from October 17 to 19. "I’m looking forward to continuing the travels with Alpha Gams from all over,” Jen said.
