Loss of An Amazing Sister
Alpha Gamma Delta has lost a truly wonderful sister. Harriett Fox
Grant entered Chapter Grand on January 26, 2005 at the age of 96.
Harriett graduated from Northwestern in 1930. She was initiated in 1928 at Lambda chapter. She married her husband Bob when she was in her 40's and they married for approximately 40 years. She moved to California from Chicago in the late 1960's.
Harriett was a very generous woman. She will long be remembered by Alpha Gamma Delta for her loyalty and her generosity. She endowed six individual scholarships that are awarded annually by the Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation. As a result, 79 scholarships to date have been awarded thanks to Harriett alone!
Following is a list of the individual scholarship funds she endowed.
