AGD FOR LIFE :)

OATH.

When we were initiated we took an oath to live by our chapter's values. That oath should mean something to us. However, I feel like many of us blow it off. BUT one thing I have learned through this class is that I am not member of Alpha Gamma Delta for just four years; but for LIFE. Tyler always says that he IS a member and not was a member of his fraternity. THAT MEANS we should live by our chapter's values and standards for the rest of our life. That is the oath we took that one day when we were initiated.

The definition of an oath is: a solemn appeal to a deity, or to some revered person or thing, to witness one's determination to speak the truth, to keep a promise, etc.: to testify upon oath. However, the definition means nothing unless you apply it to your life.

To ME an oath is: a promise that you will life your life by living up to your standards, values and chapter's mission. Basically being the best you can be. I think the point of this blog is to show that an oath isn't something temporary. It's a lifetime commitment.

I took an OATH to ALPHA GAMMA DELTA and I will do my best to stay true to it for the rest of my life. I want to be that mom, that grandma telling my kids and grandchildren how great sorority/fraternity life is and how it impacted MY life.
