Gamma Delta is an international woman's fraternity that is devoted to aiding
women through their college years. Alpha Gamma Delta was officially
founded on May 30, 1904 at the home of Dr. Wellesley Perry Coddington, a
professor at Syracuse University who was instrumental in the early development
of Alpha Gamma Delta. Each of the Fraternity's 11 founders were progressive
women who selflessly contributed to the foundation and growth of Alpha Gamma
Delta. Alpha
Gamma Delta focuses on perfecting a woman through philanthropy, scholastics,
and sisterhood. Since the founding, collegiate chapters have been
installed at 181 colleges and universities across North America and more than
145,000 women have become Alpha Gam sisters. Guided by our Purpose, Alpha Gamma
Deltas are impacting our communities and contributing to the world's work. Alpha
Gamma Delta exists to provide opportunities for positive, personal development
through the spirit of sisterhood. We support lifelong learning as a means
to gain understanding and wisdom. We promote the value of fraternal
membership and commitment to higher education. We help prepare
members to contribute to the world's work. We advocate lifetime
involvement in Alpha Gamma Delta. |
