Sigma Sigma Sigma exists to provide a lifelong sorority experience for women.

In conjunction with the formation of this Mission, we reaffirm our commitment to the Sigma Sigma Sigma Declaration of Principles. These Principles elaborate on three basic tenets, which are the reasons for our existence as a Sisterhood.


· Promotes a perpetual bond of friendship
· Develops strong womanly character
· Inspires high standards of ethical conduct

( I kept looking at the entire Purpose and couldn't decide so I decided to choose this one because it is at the beginning of what Alpha Gamma Delta means to me..

To gain understanding that wisdom may be vouchsafed to me....

The Phi Sigma Kappa Creed

In the firm conviction that my Fraternity demands
of me a life of Faith and Purpose

I hereby solemnly declare My Faith in the wisdom
and love of God; in the dignity and worth of my
fellowmen; in the strength and beauty of true Fraternity;
in the history and future of my Country; and
in the traditions and program of my Alma Mater.

Henceforward, therefore, it shall be My Purpose to
remain forever true to this, my fraternity's faith in
me and in turn to preserve and promote courageously
and unselfishly the chosen ideals of our mutual affection
and common endeavor.

To this end I dedicate My Life to the maintenance of
this Faith and the pursuit of this Purpose so that
the ideals of Phi Sigma Kappa, being embodied in
me, may be fulfilled in my Character and Conduct,
and be known and honored by all men.

By these things I stand.

Symphony of Alpha Xi Delta

These things, do we earnestly desire:

A clear vision of life,
That with gracious and kindly hearts,
We may share both joy and sorrow,
And bring into living reality,
The sisterhood of women.

An appreciation of real merit and worth,
Steadfastness of soul,
That without bitterness or defeat,
We may encounter misfortune,
And with humility meet success.

These things, O Lord,
Help us to instill within our hearts,
That we may grow in
Courage, Graciousness and Peace

My favorite lines are in bold. I love the whole Symphony but these parts speak to me more than the other parts.

SIGMA TAU GAMMA CREED


I believe that the true spirit of Fraternalism is a personal devotion to one's ideals. It has its roots in definite, tangible things. It springs out of a love of God and worth of one's fellow man. It grows into qualities of mind and soul. It is not the attitude toward a few selected ends, but rather the abiding spirit in which all things are done, all difficulties met, all successes received, all obstacles overcome.

I believe that the true spirit of Fraternalism is a breath that breathes itself into the life and being of those who live it, becoming an unconscious part of them, ruling and molding their thoughts and acts. We may call it the right attitude towards life, towards the world, towards right and wrong, towards the beautiful and good, towards duty and faith in God.

I believe that the true spirit of Fraternalism is a thing that grows. It is first associated almost exclusively with a narrow circle of fellow students, but it broadens with a widening understanding until it takes in all the important relationships of life. It enters the domain of private life as thoroughly as in public life. It teaches the fulfillment of obligations to school, state and church.

I believe that Sigma Tau Gamma endeavors to bind men together in a fraternal brotherhood based upon these eternal and immutable truths, which are set forth in the Principles and in the Code of Conduct of our Fraternity.

In this belief, I will endeavor to make my college and my own chapter of Sigma Tau Gamma more honored and respected by all men, and will endeavor to conduct myself so that I will ever bring credit and honor to our Fraternity.


SIGMA TAU GAMMA'S PRINCIPLES

Sigma Tau Gamma was founded with the understanding that all men are social creatures and that friendships made in college days are lasting ones. Believing that a social Fraternity must be dedicated to the highest ideals of manhood and brotherhood; to congeniality, the development of good personal characteristics and social poise; to good scholarship, mature thinking and action; to good citizenship, democratic principles and acceptance of responsibility; and, to loyalty and service to college, community, country and Fraternity; Founder Edward H. McCune authored a set of Principles. Embraced by our Founders and early members, these Principles have become our guide.
