More than 100 years ago, 11 young women
at Syracuse University chose to dream
big and impact the world. These women
founded Alpha Gamma delta.
Guided by its purpose, Alpha Gamma
delta continues to progress as a premiere
women’s group. With 182 installed collegiate
chapters, more than 250 alumnae
groups, and over 140,000 initiated sisters,
the sorority empowers members to strive to
embody its values and ideals.

With each new sister, the dream of the founders continues to thrive. Much like the petals
of a rose, each sister contributes her unique skills, personality, and talents, helping the
rose grow larger and more beautiful. The fraternity makes a unique, lifelong impact on
its members. No matter where life takes an Alpha Gam, she will always find herself surrounded
by sisterhood.
Benefits of Alpha Gam membership are endless—from leadership opportunities and
scholarship incentives to personal development and, most importantly, sisterhood. Alpha
Gamma delta provides its members memories that will last a lifetime and the skills to help
them be successful women. Its sisters believe in the importance of contributing to their
community and to the world.
Alpha Gams grow more and more each year by having a strong bond of sisterhood, trust, and
friendship within the chapter, as well as with those outside of Alpha Gamma delta. The sisters
are involved in many organizations: ROTC, Panhellenic Council, Virginia Tech Union, Hokie
Ambassadors, individual school organizations, and scholastic honors organizations. While they
like to have fun, Alpha Gamma delta also values scholastics and education. They place high
expectations on all members to do their best with academics, be involved in the chapter and
the community, and most importantly, strive to be the best woman they can be!
