- The Alpha Gamma Delta women's fraternity has installed approximately 200 collegiate chapters and 250 alumnae chapters across the United States and Canada. As of November 2019, there are 123 active chapters that have initiated approximately 197,000 members into the fraternity. This is a list of Alpha Gamma Delta chapters which includes undergraduate and alumnae chapters. Alpha Gamma Delta's collegiate chapters are grouped and named by geographical region. Northeastern chapter designations begin with Alpha, Lambda, or Zeta, Midwest designations begin with Beta, and west coast chapters begin with Delta. Mid-south American chapters such as those in Texas or Oklahoma begin with Epsilon or Kappa, while most southern chapters are designated at Gamma, Nu, or Theta. The longest-running active collegiate chapter is Delta chapter at the University of Minnesota. However, since its reestablishment in 2010, the oldest active collegiate chapter is the Alpha chapter at Syracuse University. Alpha Gamma Delta is one of two sororities with a National Panhellenic chapter in the state of Hawaii. In 1959 at the 22nd international convention, Alpha Gamma Delta absorbed Theta Sigma Upsilon, which added 13 chapters to the fraternity's roster. (en)
