Chapter Philanthropy & Service

Community service and philanthropy are things very important to the women of Alpha Gamma Delta!

"To welcome the opportunity of contributing the world's work in the community where I am placed because of the joy of service thereby bestowed and talent of leadership multiplied." - The Alpha Gamma Delta Purpose

While each woman in our chapter strives to reach a minimum of 18 service hours per semester, many far surpass that number!

Some of our favorite ways to earn service hours include:

• Adopt-a-spot Clean Up
• Volunteering at the Humane Society 
• SIU Dance Marathon
• Relay for Life
• Up 'Til Dawn
• Blood Drives
• And so much more!

In 2015, we held our first annual, "Cheesin' With AGD" where we raised over $1,000 in just a few short hours! Since then, "Cheesin'" has become one of our most successful philanthropy events. Every fall we hold "Cheesin' with AGD" and our members make and serve 3 types of grilled cheese. 
Some of our smaller philanthropy events include:

• Alpha Grabba-a-Donut: selling donuts under the Faner Breezeway!
• Lemonade and hot chocolate stands around campus
• Selling popsicles on campus
• Fundraising days and Panera, McAllister's, and S&B Burgers in Carbondale!
• Plus supporting other chapters' philanthropy events!
