Our Purpose:
To gain understanding that wisdom may be
vouchsafed to me;
to develop and prize health and vigor of
body;
to cultivate acquaintance of 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 attain somewhat
unto them;
This shall be my purpose, that all those who
know me may esteem Alpha Gamma Delta for her
attainments, revere her for her purposes and
love her for her womanhood.
