A Word from the MGLO Founders

SIGMA ALPHA GAMMA

"In the next five years and beyond, SAG will be helping service members and veterans throughout life by connecting them to resources and knowledge necessary for success in and out of the military.

Start working on building your leadership skills and how you can contribute to the organization. Come prepared to learn so that you can then help others. Don’t count yourself out if you have a less than honorable discharge because we are less concerned with how you got out but more concerned about the lessons you’ve learned from your experiences.

At the end of the day, it’s not the Greek letters that make the organization or the man, it’s what we do while wearing them. ~ SAG

We focus on family, scholarship, deployments, and the after effects of deployments. ~ PRS

ALPHA GAMMA XI

"Any organization should always have programming that sustains the test of time. We will continue to place focus on the whole woman. AGXi has no glass ceiling, which means we will evolve and grow on a grander scheme. Our programs will speak for themselves. We will be the go to organization on military installations and in communities where support for women is needed.

You should research and align yourself with the organization that best fits who you are. Think about what you can do for the organization and not what the organization can do for you. This way of thinking will prevent a lot of disappointment. Reach out to a random member of AGXi and spend time with them. Be ready to build a sisterhood. You should have a heart for service. We are all about having social events but we work."

KAPPA LAMBDA CHI

"Kappa Lambda Chi will be synonymous with professionalism. We are grooming men in a first class organization to give back to the community. We will help solve issues and leave a legacy of elevation where men will move into world shaping positions, instead of from military to homelessness.

Come with a change attitude, ready to work for and access the finer things in life. You don’t know what you don’t know. Be willing and open to learning what it takes to be better and to do better."

Look for clear-cut programming initiatives and know what you’re getting into. Then choose the best military GLO for you.~ AGXi

KLC is and will be a place to shape service members into men of the highest caliber. ~KLC

SIGMA PHI PSI

"Sorors of Sigma Phi Psi (SPP) will uphold the vision of our Founders as beacons for the world by establishing network alliances at every military installation. SPP will encourage Sisters to strive higher than they ever have, and to foster and nurture not only our military community but the surrounding communities as well. We will focus on service to our disabled veterans, homeless veterans, and the community at large.

It is important for candidates to know that we are an organization that is dedicated to serving our Sisters and others. Much like their service to this great Nation they have the opportunity to be a part of something greater than themselves individually.

"

To be a Sigma Phi Psi Soror means you are part of an elite group of women that believe in our mission and upholds a high standard of conduct. These things cannot be taken lightly.
