[B]i don't know if any of you have ever gone to [website address deleted].. but i was looking around there the other day and under some of the sororities, it lists their patron goddess and what their sorority name means. (ex: Delta Zeta = Daughters of Zeus)... i am guess our Delta means Daughters... i tried looking up other sororities that had Gammas and Alphas, but neither had what those two words meant... just wondering if anyone out there KNEW who we were the "daughters" of and who our patron goddess is..


The "fraternity secrets" site you cite has lots of speculation which is basically wrong. In addition to DZ "daughters of Zeus" and KD "king's daughters," AGD was supposed to mean "all god's daughters." That misinformation has been kicking around for a long, long time--I heard it when I was an undergrad in the early 1970's.

Alpha Gamma Delta and most of the NPC groups don't have patron goddesses. (BTW, shouldn't that be "patroness"?) Some do. Depends on their tradition. Alpha Chi Omega has Hera; Chi Omega has Demeter; Kappa Kappa Gamma has Athena; Zeta Tau Alpha has Themis.

Dig out your frat ed manual to refresh your memory about Alpha Gam facts. Don't rely on a website of dubious authenticity!
