Our Purpose

The Alpha Gamma Delta Purpose, with its illuminated border, is a gift from Founder Emily Butterfield. It remains unchanged from the day it was written. The Purpose, contemporary and constant, is an open statement of goals and a constant reminder of what we, as individual members of Alpha Gamma Delta, strive to achieve throughout our lives.
