Values

Our Values - The Five S's

Scholastic

During an AlphaDelt's college career, there is an immediate emphasis placed upon academic excellence. Our Fraternity believes that learning is not practiced just in the classroom, but is a process of examination, discovery, and participation in all human relations. Learning includes a liberal minded search for truth through the cultivation of intellect.

Service

The Alpha Delta Gamma man finds time to serve his community in a brotherly effort. He is committed to serving God by serving man. By honoring this commitment, he has fulfilled his obligation "to the world of men about us".

At SLU we pride ourselves on our active role in the community. In 2009 our chapter completed over 1000 hours of service at many locations both in St. Louis and throughout the country.

Spiritual

Alpha Delta Gamma uses its close-knit brotherhood to develop the attitudes of a complete Christian within an individual. Once founded as a Catholic oriented fraternity, the Alpha Delta Gamma man believes in the right of all brothers to follow the principles and practices of his own religion. Our Fraternity also develops Christian ideals through "mutual encouragement and good example".

Furthermore, in Alpha Delta Gamma we believe that spirituality extends beyond religion. We believe that it is also the regimented and practiced quest to become a better person. As such, spirituality can be expressed in a multitude of ways, which are encompassed in the other four S's.

School Spirit

One's initial contact with the Fraternity occurs during his actual college days. Through a strong support for the institution he attends, the AlphaDelt displays one of his primary goals - the generation of enthusiastic and genuine school spirit.

At SLU our members are involved a multitude of different student organizations ranging from Oriflamme and Billiken Buddies to Campus Ministry and the Environmental Task Force.
