  Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the one-
hundredth anniversary of the Alpha Beta Chapter of the Alpha Gamma 
Delta Fraternity at the University of Michigan--Ann Arbor. Their one 
hundred years of service and dedication to our local community is 
worthy of commendation.
  Alpha Gamma Delta Fraternity was founded in 1904 by eleven women at 
Syracuse University. Over the years, the fraternity has expanded to 
include chapters at 199 different colleges and universities in the 
United States and Canada and has been home to over 197,000 women. The 
Alpha Gamma Delta Alpha Beta Chapter at the University of Michigan was 
founded in 1922. Starting with only 25 members, the fraternity has 
grown immensely, and members have gone on to be leaders in Michigan and 
around the globe.
  At the University of Michigan--Ann Arbor, the Alpha Gamma Delta 
fraternity has served children, families, and individuals affected by 
social and economic challenges in the City of Ann Arbor and in 
surrounding communities. The fraternity is dedicated to making a 
positive impact through their philanthropy and leadership. Their 
volunteer work includes partnering with charitable organizations such 
as Feeding America and Meals on Wheels.
  A century after its founding, the Alpha Gamma Delta fraternity is 
working harder than ever to make a difference in Ann Arbor. While 
fundraising for Fighting Hunger, the fraternity recently raised almost 
seven thousand dollars to help fight hunger in Ann Arbor and all around 
the United States. With the help of their enthusiastic members, the 
Alpha Gamma Delta fraternity has lent vital support to those in need, 
supporting our local community and beyond.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me today in celebrating 
the one hundredth anniversary of the Alpha Beta Chapter of the Alpha 
Gamma Delta Fraternity at the University of Michigan--Ann Arbor. We are 
grateful for the fraternity's century of impactful work and wish Alpha 
Gamma Delta members and alumni continued success in service in the 
years ahead.
