THE FIRST 100 Years!
Since 1924, ADG has established 32 chapters across the country. Based on Christian values and the traditions of the Catholic Jesuit Order, over 11,000 men have become well-rounded brothers and engaged citizens through the focus on the FIVE “S” ’s – Scholastic, Social, Spiritual, Service, and School Spirit!
REVERSE THE SLIDE!
Our Brotherhood has logged thousands of hours supporting various charities and services. We've transformed shy young men into vibrant leaders in business, the community, and academia.
As you reflect on your time in the Fraternity, know we are at a critical crossroad. Our Chapter and Active count are at concerning lows, and the pool of future leaders is drying up.
This decline affects Greek life nationwide due to factors such as academic focus, the cost of membership, hazing fears, online gaming, and young people's desire to improve society and the environment.
SERVICE
While we will not ignore the other “S”’s we will put additional resources and align with more external organizations to build and grow a platform that young men desire and want to be a part of today. We will be that standout service organization on every campus!
MARKETING
We have hired a part time Marketing Director to better explain what ADG has and will be doing with our Alumni. This experienced person will help Alumni to better connect with their fellow Brothers and prepare for a Capital Campaign to continue strategies outlined above and maintain ADG’s current position as the lowest cost Fraternity to join!
EXPANSION
We will hire a traveling, full-time Expansion Director to identify opportunities to reactivate previous Chapters and bring new ones. The Director will assist and guide new colonies through the process of becoming a Chapter. This will be the FIRST paid position in ADG ever!
THE NEXT 100 Years!
We have developed 21 specific strategies to increase our fraternity as the organization to join! We are focused on a few top choices in 2024 and 2025 we believe will have the greatest impact towards the sustainability of growth of our Fraternity.
We want to hear from you!
100 Years “new”
on October 10th, 2024!
You're one of the selected few Brothers that represent a good cross-section of your Fraternity a “State of our Fraternity” today and a Vision/Plan for the next 100 Years.
A broad-based group of Alumni and Actives have researched what young College-bound males want today and what they need today; however, we are also seeking independent input and advice from you!

PRAYER
O, Eternal Father, in whose love all men our brothers, bless our Fraternity. Establish in our hearts the virtues of sacred honor, faith-inspired courage, loyal fidelity to the ideals of brotherly helpfulness within this fraternity, and organized helpfulness to the world of men around us. Strengthen our devotion to these sacred ideals through mutual encouragement and good example. Help us to learn the fundamental truth of our Holy Faith that “a brother who is helped by a brother is like a city walled.” In a world which is torn apart by fraternal strife, make us a holy and powerful influence for peace and union of hearts, so that we may become in the eyes of men about us, a living embodiment of the truth that Christ came to teach: “That they all may be one, as Thou Father, in Me and I in Thee, that they all may be one in Us.” Through Christ our Lord, Amen
