Parents
WELCOME
We’re so excited to meet your daughter and welcome her to the fraternity/sorority community! Please take a few moments to explore our website and learn more about our local chapter, as well as our international organization. Inspired by the vision and values defined by our 11 Founders, Alpha Gamma Delta challenges members to lead lives of significance that positively impact their communities.
FAQ
Why should my daughter join Alpha Gamma Delta?
Women join sororities for different reasons, but all of us are bound by common values and ideals—friendship, service, scholarship, personal development and leadership. Being an Alpha Gam is a special experience that offers college women opportunities to develop and grow personally while meeting a group of lifelong friends. In addition, membership offers a network support that can be beneficial when living far from home or in a large university environment—and well beyond the collegiate years. With more than 200,000 members, Alpha Gams can be found all over the world, in your hometown and right here at our own alma mater.
Does Alpha Gamma Delta haze?
Alpha Gamma Delta has a zero-tolerance policy towards hazing of any kind.
How much does it cost to join Alpha Gamma Delta?
Our dues and fees are structured to align with our campus norms. For more detailed cost information, please contact our Vice President–Finance, listed under Leaders.
My daughter was asked to join Alpha Gam. What comes next?
Immediately after joining, your daughter will begin her new member period. During this time, she will attend weekly meetings with other new members, make new friendships and learn about Alpha Gam’s history and values. Once initiated, your daughter will enjoy the lifelong benefits and responsibilities of membership. After college, she’ll become an alumna member of Alpha Gam. Alumnae share pride, love and respect for their Alpha Gam membership is lifelong!
How much time will my daughter have to commit to Alpha Gamma Delta?
Our chapters are asked to have meetings at the same time every week, alternating between business and programming. We encourage our chapters to make the most of their time together and combine activities where possible, rather than adding to the calendar. In addition to chapter meetings, your daughter can expect to participate in philanthropic events, community service and other campus activities.
