I'm thankful that our five founders realized 25 years ago that women in a male dominated career field needed to band together. I'm also thankful that they are all alive to see the prgress of Sigma Alpha! :)

My sister and friend, you are so above average it is stunning! Without our founders we would never have met, so I am thankful to them for that as well!

I am thankful that our Founders decided to start the first secret society for college women!

I'm thankful that their ideals have stayed on course for almost 153 years!

I'm thankful that they left a written & photographic legacy, so we can compare the simularities and the differences from 1851 and now.

And, as much as I like pink, I'm thankful that they chose the beautiful Azure Blue & White as the colors of Alpha Delta Pi!




ps - Silver, you've raised the bar on "average" to considerable heights!!!

I am thankful that Delta Gamma's founders laid down the foundation for our fraternity with this first initiation address, that still rings true to this day:

Dear sisters, you are now members of the Delta Gamma Club. Ours is an associate sisterhood based upon sincere desire for mutual improvement; its cementing element is love, its stimulating principle, truth; its WATCHWORD, duty, and we welcome you cordially to the advantages of our club...

You may imagine our duties too laborious, our discipline too exacting, but while we extend to you the encouragement and sympathy of sisters, we would warn you with equal fidelity that nothing good or great has ever been achieved with without toil and attention, and it is because we would have you prepare for an honorable womanhood that here in the morning of life, we would stimulate you to constant and earnest effort.


Be faithful to yourself, act well on your part, and then when life’s young dream is past, the battles of life fought and won, and the mellow light of evening gathers around your pathway, the scenes enacted here will rise upon your memory like the constellations on the evening sky to cheer and comfort you.

Beautiful.

this is one of my favorites quotes from Delta Gamma. i read and gave it to my little on initiation week this year. i truly love this!!

I am thankful that our founders were such amazing women that founded an amazing sorority. This sorority has opened so many doors for so many people.

In general, I am thankful that so many wonderful individuals decided to go against the norm to found sororities and fraternities!

Greek Luv! :)
