In this blog I will share the history of GLOs and other topics.
I didn’t realize that I would end up feeling at home at one of the chapters. My roommate suggested I sign up for rush (as it was then called, today it’s known as recruitment) and go through the house tour round and then drop out of rush. When I made my way to Syracuse University, I saw the houses with the Greek letters that edged Walnut Park, and wished I could tour them. I am sure I would have agreed with them, too. I was the last person anyone would have suspected of joining a sorority in college. Welcome! Chances are good you found this blog by searching for something about fraternities or sororities. All of the rooms differ but each has plenty of space and light and two clothes closets, one for each occupant. The large hall on the second floor is furnished as a lounging room and from it open thirteen bedrooms, each for two girls. On the main floor there are also the coatroom and large lavatory for use at parties, the attractive guest room with its private bath, and the town girls’ room, large and airy with plenty of closet space for all sorts of belongings that may need a safe and temporary housing. Back of the dining room is the butler’s pantry, the up-to-date kitchen, and two maid’s rooms with bath. There is also a most attractive built-in buffet. The dining room is furnished with extensive refectory tables and narrow-backed Windsor chairs. The dining room is also entered through arches from the living room and hall, which makes the entire floor wonderfully adapted for dances and other gatherings. At one end of the living room are French doors opening into the sun porch, from which one enters the dining room through an arch. The living room is spacious in its proportions and with its lovely fireplace with ceiling high built-in bookcases on either side, its creamy walls, walnut beams,oriental rugs and attractive furniture makes a charming setting for the chapter life. Beyond, at the right, is the arched entrance to the living room opposite the attractive stairway which leads to the second floor. First to the left of the main hallway, which is two steps above the level of the foyer, is the suite of three rooms reserved for the use of the housemother. Entrance is through the heavy colonial doorway into the foyer with its high arched windows, fireplace and colorful stone floor. The house is Georgian in design:īeing of Old Virginia brick with the coping, steps and replica of the coat of arms in buff Indiana limestone. The Quarterly article gave a detailed description of the chapter’s home at 709 Comstock.
The third home was purchased and “occupied until plans for the new house were executed.” The chapter’s first two homes were rentals.
According to the January 1931 Alpha Gamma Delta Quarterly, the home was completed in the fall of 1928. She designed the Alpha Chapter’s home at 709 Comstock Avenue. was an architect and an authority on fraternity heraldry. Note, the term "colony" was changed to "provisional chapter" at the 2016 Grand Chapter.Alpha Gamma Delta founder Emily H. Where no predecessor local is named it may be understood the group came from a colony (or, from 2016 a provisional chapter). The dates of any predecessor local organization(s) are provided in reference notes. Multiple chapters came from several ΑΣΦ merger partners. Active chapters and provisional chapters noted in bold, inactive chapters noted in italics.

In the case of full merger partners, these are ordered by date of entry into ΑΣΦ, but their chartering dates reflect the dates of their original charter into their earlier national bodies. Groups are listed generally in order according of the date they chartered into Alpha Sigma Phi. This is a list of Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity chapters and provisional chapters.
