I seem to recall hearing once that Alpha Gamma Delta was founded on Catholic principles, but I can't recall where I heard that. It could be my mind doing funny things in my "old age".

Speaking as a Gam, I don't think it was neccessarily Catholic principles, but Christian principles.

Thank you for the clarification. I appreciate it.

On behalf of my Theta sisters (Kappa Alpha Theta - the first greek letter organization known among women:

Kappa Alpha Theta was founded when one of our founders was asked to wear the badge of a friends fraternity (not as a sign of romance but as a sign of her friendship with the organization), she declined saying she would wear it only if she was initiated into their fraternity. After that she set out to found her own fraternity for women based on the fraternity idea that would be a means of uniting young women in common goals with a lasting loyalty to each other and the ideals of the organization.

"Which sororities has the highest number of non-caucasian members?"
--Supposedly, the NPC doesn't keep tabs on this sort of thing. I never had to fill out anything stating my ethnic background or anything, so unless the president or chapter advisor does an ethnic breakdown of the chapter to send to Nationals, Nationals has no idea what the racial makeup of the sorority is.

I have no statistics on which sorority has the most non-white members. However, my chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau (in California) is predominantly Mexican-American. I am black and my class was very small (just the fourth class initiated into our chapter). Of the other two women initiated with me, one was Indonesian and the other Mexican-American.
