Campus Activities
Honoraries
Alpha Mu Gamma
Much like NWU, Alpha Gamma Delta offers a close-knit environment, where the virtues they prize most are scholarship, leadership and service. Alpha Gams strongly encourage each other to succeed in academics through various scholarship awards, study groups; faculty banquets scholarship gifts, book exchanges and registration help sessions.
Alpha Gams also enjoy being involved in several different campus organizations and athletics, while remaining active off-campus by holding part-time jobs and volunteering in the community. Although they are busy with activities and schoolwork, they can always find time to lend a hand to various philanthropies. Some of their service projects include their annual Teeter-totter Marathon, Halloween parties for diabetic children, and the Greeks in the Streets.
