Our Purpose
The Alpha Gamma Delta Purpose was written by Founder Emily Butterfield. The purpose is an open statement of goals and a constant reminder of what we, as an individual member of Alpha Gamma Delta, strive to achieve in our lives.
- 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, my religious faith.
- To hold truth inviolable, sincerity essential, kindness invaluable.
- To covet beauty in environment, manner, word, and thought.
- To possess high ideals and to obtain somewhat unto them.
- This shall be my PURPOSE that those who know me may esteem ALPHA GAMMA DELTA for her attainment, revere her for her purposes and love her for her womanhood.
