Alpha Gamma Delta
About Alpha Gam
We are excited to offer an opportunity for women to make an impact and leave a lasting legacy by joining Alpha Gam!
How is Alpha Gamma Delta different from other organizations on campus? Aside from things like our symbols, mascot and flowers, Alpha Gam is unique because her members Live with Purpose. The Purpose is similar to a creed or motto and is what Alpha Gams strive to live by.
An Alpha Gamma Delta finds meaning within the values outlined in our Purpose. She is a student looking for a community of like-minded women with whom she can celebrate her successes and share in life’s challenges. She takes care of herself and those around her. She is striving to be the best version of herself and inspires others when she does so. She wants to make an impact in the world and knows that she can when she works together with others.
