It's no longer news. Inflation has had its impact on everything from household repairs and groceries to office supplies and travel. As a result, expenses for everything from basic administrative costs to the alumnae events and traditions we value have risen significantly.
The Executive Board of AAPHSG has worked diligently to control the cost of membership dues, sensitive to the economic pressures we face mutually. Now, however, there’s no way around it. We must increase membership dues to sustain our operational costs, and to continue supporting our alma mater.
As of January 1, 2025, dues will increase to $75/year annually. We’re inviting alumnae to take advantage of the next few days to renew or pay dues while they remain $50.00.
Look for an email from your Membership Portal inviting you to (1) renew your annual membership before year-end and save $25 if your renewal falls between January and March of 2025, (2) update your profile if you’ve already paid dues this year within the past 8 months, (2) join our sisterhood as a new member and save $25 by completing your profile and paying annual dues before December 31, 2024.

If your membership anniversary falls between January and March of 2025, you'll save by renewing membership today at $50. If your membership dues have lapsed, there has never been a better time to renew and catch up lapsed dues before the dues increase.
If you're joining the Alumnae Association for the first time, welcome! If your membership has lapsed, we miss you! Welcome back! Create or update your profile information, and pay dues at the current $50 rate until December 31, 2024.
Although Lifetime Members don't pay dues, we need more of you to accept the invitation to update your profile and verify your preferred email address. We value your commitment to Girls High, and want to keep you informed.

AAPHSG is a dynamic network of Girls High Alumnae united in the mission of perpetuating the ideals and promoting the welfare of the Philadelphia High School for Girls, protecting the interests of the Association and its members, and cultivating our rich fellowship.
We have plans to confront rising costs and increased dues with a richer membership experience and additional membership benefits in 2025. So, stay tuned! One membership dividend we've recently added is GHS Connect, our alumnae networking platform, where you can easily find classmates around the world, volunteer for a school activities, browse classmate profiles to reconnect, plan and follow class reunions, and support our alma mater. Next year, we'll offer mentoring opportunities, member-only activities, and more.
We can’t wait to see you engageD and involved as one of our members!
