In 1904, 11 women created an organization that would provide educational,
philanthropic and leadership opportunities for women - Alpha Gamma Delta Fraternity. The Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation was
created in 1962 ensuring that the Fraternity's mission would live on into Alpha Gamma Delta's second century, allowing women
of all ages to make positive differences on their campus and in their communities - leaving a legacy for generations of women
to follow. As the second line in our Purpose states, the health and wellbeing of our sisters has always been a primary concern
in Alpha Gamma Delta. Diabetes, our chosen philanthropic focus, continues to affect our members and their friends, families
and acquaintances at an astounding rate, and as a sisterhood, we have the unique opportunity to look to each other for support
and education. The Fraternity's new philanthropy campaign, Defeat Diabetes One Step at a Time, seeks to do just that. The
Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation supports diabetes research, education, and treatment through donations given both to organizations
and individuals. The Foundation also funds scholarships for its members and emergency grants for sisters in need. For more

Alpha Gamma Delta held a softball tournament to help raise money
for the Alpha Gamma Delta foundation.
