Alpha Gamma Delta is an organization in which diverse individuals with a variety of interests and styles come together under a common purpose.  As members of one of the largest Greek organizations on campus, we feel that our unity comes from out strong ties of friendship, which is a major aspect of our purpose.  We focus many efforts on our philanthropy, the Alpha Gamma Delta foundation which supports Diabetes Research and Awareness.  Our main event of the year is our Fall Fashion Show.  We look forward to meeting you and hope that you feel welcome to ask any questions concerning campus activities, community service, sisterhood activities, scholarship, social events, etc.

 

Alpha Gamma Delta is more than a sorority, more than an extracurricular activity. It is a sisterhood, a way of life. AGD is a community of women with the goal of developing themselves more fully and enabling their sisters to do the same. The sisters of Alpha Gamma Delta are diverse. They come from different backgrounds, have very different personalities and interests, and are a part of many different organizations and efforts on campus. However, it is this uniqueness of each of the sisters that has made Alpha Gamma Delta the well- rounded and much respected group of women that it is. Their efforts do not go unnoticed, as Alpha Gamma Delta has been awarded Greek chapter of the year for 2002 and 2003 and was named Saint Joseph’s best organization on campus in Spring 2003. Alpha Gamma Delta also has a strong dedication to philanthropy, as their Fall Fashion Show raises several thousands of dollars for the Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation, which benefits juvenile diabetes research.
