WHO WE ARE
Alpha Gamma Delta, otherwise known as Alpha Gam, is an international women's fraternity that promotes academic excellence, philanthropic giving, ongoing leadership and personal development and above all, a spirit of loving sisterhood. Guided by our Purpose, Alpha Gamma Delta members strive to attain a higher standard, thereby improving their lives, the lives of those around them and the communities in which they live. Alpha Gam was founded on May 30th, 1904 at Syracuse University by 11 selfless and influential women and was brought to Troy's campus in 1971. Since then, our chapter has continuosly worked to "Inspire the Woman and Impact the World."
OUR PURPOSE
To gain understanding that wisdom may be vouchsafed to me.
To develop and prize health and vigor of body.
To cultivate acquaintance with many whom I meet.
To cherish friendships with but a chosen few and to study the perfecting of those friendships.
To welcome the opportunity of contributing to the world’s work in the community where I am placed because of the joy of service thereby bestowed and the talent of leadership multiplied.
To honor my home, my country, and my religious faith.
To hold truth inviolable, sincerity essential, and kindness invaluable.
To covet beauty in environment, manner, word and thought.
To possess high ideals and obtain somewhat unto them.
This shall be my purpose that those who know me may esteem Alpha Gamma Delta for her attainments, revere her for her purposes, and love her for her womanhood.
