A question about your Creed

[Greek_Girl]

Hey everyone! I am serving as a recruitment counselor this summer at my University. I have been thinking about what I am going to put on the folders that each of my girls will get. The folder contains worksheets, paper, etc. where the girls can write down their feelings on each party.

Anyways, my present idea is to put the Creed's of each of the 4 Chapters represented at my school on the folder because the Creed represents what each sorority strives for. I have found a copy of the other 3 sororities represented on my campus. However, I have been unable to find a copy of the Alpha Gamma Delta Creed. I was just wondering if one of you could possible type this up for me. Your Creed could also be part of ritual, in which case I understand not sharing it. But right now..I'm kind of in the dark. Anything you can do to help would be fabulous! Thanks!

You may have had difficulty because our "Creed" is actually our "Purpose".

THE ALPHA GAMMA DELTA PURPOSE

To gain understanding that wisdom may be vouchsafed to me.
To develop and prize health and vigor of body.
To cultivate acquaintance with many whom I meet.
To cherish Friendships with but a chosen few and to study the perfecting of those friendships.
To welcome the opportunity of contributing to the world's work in the community where I am placed
because of the joy of service thereby bestowed and the talent of leadership multiplied.
To honor my home, my country, my religious faith.
To hold truth inviolable, sincerity essential, and kindness invaluable.
To covet beauty in environment, manner, word and thought.
To possess high ideals and to attain somewhat unto them.
This shall be my PURPOSE, that those who know me may esteem ALPHA GAMMA DELTA for her attainments,
revere her for her purposes and love her for her womanhood.

Thank you so much!!! I kept running into that, but I didn't want to goof up or anything! So, thank you for your help!

Greek Girl, what a great idea! Which are the other three groups?

I've printed out creeds/symphonies/purposes when I've found them, but don't have all 26.

The other three sororities are Alpha Delta Pi, Phi Mu, and Zeta Tau Alpha. I was trying to come up with something original to use on the folders (something other than just the Greek letters.) I was going to do the founders of each of the Chapters, but I ran out of ink in my printer. So, I decided that the Creed would be a more creative idea. Hopefully, it will give the girls of the 100+ years of tradition that that are about to be a part of!
