1. Squirrels are your spirit animal.
You replace song lyrics from girl to squirrel (who runs the world?) and buy anything that even remotely resembles a squirrel. You also can't help it when you share the same attention span as them. And, if you're lucky like me, you get to see them all over campus and are constantly reminded of you're sisters.
2. You never use our full name.
Most likely, you never actually refer to yourself as an Alpha Gamma Delta. It's always something shorter and almost always Alpha Gam.
3. Red, Buff, and Green are more than Rasta colors.
You're all too familiar with this less-than-appealing color combination, but you embrace it anyway. You also wouldn't be caught dead referring to one of our colors as yellow. It is buff.
4. You know what it means to Live with Purpose.
Our purpose gives you purpose. It's your daily reminder on how to live your life and each line means something special to you. You know it backward and forward, but you still have some occasional trouble with line five (it was the hardest line for all of us).
5. Georgia Dickover.
We all know her. We all love her. We all aspire to be her. Plus, shes probably the only founder you can actually name.
6. We're all sisters.
Whether they are from another school or from another decade, every Alpha Gam is your sister. We share the same values, traditions, and most importantly, the same letters. Our letters bind us together, and we know that whoever we come across that's wearing them is someone we can count on.
7. Karen McCullah Lutz is potentially your favorite sister.
She's the screenwriter for "10 Things I Hate About You," "House Bunny," "Legally Blonde," and most importantly, "She's The Man". She portrayed females in dominant roles and showed that you should never underestimate a woman, just as we know to never underestimate an Alpha Gam. Besides, without her we wouldn't have the bend-and-snap or the blessing of Channing Tatum and Amanda Bynes (pre-psychotic break) to come home to after a long day.
8. Doughnuts.
National Doughnut Day is equivalent to any other holiday for us. Sure, it may be joke, but let's be honest, who doesn't love donuts?
9. alphagamihq is your insta goal.
Being featured on IHQ's Instagram is like being famous for a day. Everyone in your chapter tags them constantly and we all aspire to make it on their page before we graduate. The best part is, once you do get featured, you can count on all your sisters tagging you in the comments and showing their support!
10. Our hand sign.
You've practiced our sign a thousand times and can't stand when it's done wrong. You've also had to take way too many of the same picture just to get your hand tilt right so that it doesn't look like you're just making a triangle.
11. Big-Little Reveal.
From the moment you got your bid, you couldn't help but to think about your future big. Luckily, you didn't have to wait long either because you met her that same week. Sure, it was a fast process, but it only made you feel that much more at home. Besides, when it came time to get your own little, you're not sure you could have waited any longer!
12. You couldn't imagine repping any other letters.
Alpha Gamma Delta is more than just your sorority, it's your home, and you wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
Shout out to Delta Upsilon <3
