Greeklawgirl- You mentioned that there used to be a mother's pin, is there any ways to still get one? Do you know what it looks like? I would love for my mom to have one!!

Katey, go to www.burrpatt.com. You'll see the Mother's Pin there. As best as I can describe it: it is a gold base of Delta, with a wild rose on top of it. Alpha and Gamma are superimposed on top of the wild rose. One pearl is on the cormer of each Delta. I think that it is one of the loveliest of the Mother's Pins, because it really echoes our badge.

More info!
 

Bumping it back up to the top in hopes that Maria will share some more facts... :p

I'm going to bump this back up to the top yet again. I love reading all of this interesting stuff. I feel like there is so much that I still don't know about AGD! If anyone has any interesting facts (not just Maria ;)), please share them with us even if you think others might already know about them, because it's always nice to have a little refresher course of Fraternity education! :)

One more time...
 

I am looking for info to add to this thread but cannot find anything yet.

Maria??? hee hee:D

I thought our usage of the color "buff" was unique, but I found that Delta Chi's colors are "red and buff"--

Mothers Clubs?
 

Hi,

Not sure if this is where I should post this, but....

Do Mothers Clubs still exist?

I was flipping through an old Quarterly I have from 1952, and one of the stories is a tribute to Alpha Gamma Delta Mothers Clubs.

Here's an excerpt...

"'The new lamp is a gift from the Mothers Club!' 'The Mothers Club will make our new draperies.' 'The Mothers are holding a rummage sale to raise money for new carpeting.' From coast to coast and border to border, in ever undergraduate chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta, you'll hear remarks like these. For these women, mothers of Alpha Gams, have demonstrated that they are a moving force within the fraternity.
In 1915, a group of Alpha Gam mothers decided to form a club, to see if they could add a few comforts to their daughters' college life. They believed that more could be given and that they, themselves, could derive more pleasure if they worked together. Though their daughters have long ago graduated, these mothers are still loyal, still meet about six times a year, still feel the bond which holds them together."

What a lovely concept. I've actually never heard of a mothers club.

Does anyone know much about them?

Loyally,
Mai

My chapter
 

My chapter had mother's and father's clubs. They met once a year and collected funds to help the chapter. I went to school in the middle of nowhere but we did have mom's and dad's weekends organized by the school so that is when the meetings where held. Our father's club was the most active, having offciers, etc. It was great! :)
