International Mission Statement and Kansas Goals
"We started with a blank slate. Tomorrow, we have a new day! As Annie from the Broadway play sings, "The sun'll come out tomorrow."
The birds soar into the future, depicting the visionary leaders who founded our organization. Agnes is in the leading position! Alpha stands for Athena with its color green. Delta stands for Demeter, the color yellow. Kappa stands for Kore, with our third official color, purple. This design is our modern colorized Delta. Next, we have upward vertical representations of the seven unique regions. These symbols represent our organization's vision, mission, purposes, and history. The modern swipe upward is fluid, as it conveys motion but is supported by the seven regions. As we "Bridge to the Future," the theme for the 2023-2025 biennium." Sisterly love, Ann Marie Ann Marie Brown International President Alpha Delta Kappa Bridge to the Future 2023-2025 Biennium Theme |
