Mr. Greek
It is hard to turn down a good cause, especially when Fraternity men are involved. Alpha Gamma Delta participates in many different philanthropies sponsored by other Fraternities and Sororities on campus. Philanthropies are a great way to keep in touch with fellow "Greeks" and also support many worthy causes, including Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research, Susan B. Komen Breast Cancer Research, and the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.
Our own philanthropy draws a large number of participants and a good
crowd. Each winter, Alpha Gamma Delta puts on a great Mr. Greek
competition for all of the local Fraternities. Mr. Greek is an excellent
opportunity to socialize with Fraternity men as they casually compete
for the crown. Since 1979, diabetes has been Alpha Gamma Delta’s philanthropic
focus. Additionally, we contribute to the Treehouse Foundation to help foster children.
Mr. Greek is a lot of fun for the chapter and Fraternities! This year, we raised $63,000,
thanks to all of our talened women and the participants from 22 different fraternities.
Trent Williams from Chi Psi took the crown this year and raised over $9,000.
Miss Greek
Every year, the gentlemen of Delta Tau Delta Fraternity at the University of Washington host their philanthropy, the Miss Greek pageant, to benefit the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research center. As shown in Our Purpose, Alpha Gamma Delta strives to "welcome the opportunity of contributing to the world's work in the community where [we are] placed because of the joy of service thereby bestowed and the talent of leadership multiplied". Over the past years, our contestants have consistently been top qualifers, taking the crown three years in a row in 2003, 2004, 2005, and 1st Runner Up in 2006. Last year, our own Priya Iyer took the crown once again to reclaim the title, She raised over $23,000 and we could not be more proud of the way she represented us throughout the competition. This year we cheered on our very own, Lexie Miller, was nothing short of amazing and kept the crown alive in the AGD house with her victory. Great Job Lexie!!
