Since our founding in 1904 by 11 pioneering women, Alpha Gamma Delta has grown
to be an international organization with over 175 collegiate chapters and 200
alumnae chapters, clubs and Junior Circles.
Alpha Gamma Delta is a trailblazer in the Greek world: the first Greek group
organized with the full intention of being a national organization; the first
NPC group to adopt a specific international philanthropy project; the first
Greek women's group to colonize in Hawaii.
There are many benefits of membership beyond what sharing sisterhood can offer.
There are opportunities for every Alpha Gam alumna-regardless of age,
geographic location or lifestyle. Being an collegiate member is just the
beginning of Fraternity service and sharing sisterhood.
