Alpha Gams are taught that the root of "fraternity" is the Greek word for "family" or "clan."
I've never heard the explanation *why* Dr. Coddington, who advised the founders of Alpha Phi, Gamma Phi Beta, and Alpha Gamma Delta, coined "sorority" and why he didn't insist that Alpha Gamma Delta use the word. (Alpha Gam came along 30 years after Gamma Phi.)
