About Delta Gamma
Our Mission
"Delta Gamma offers to women
of all ages a rich heritage based
on principles of personal
integrity, personal responsibility
and intellectual honesty. Its
primary purpose is to foster high
ideals of friendship, promote
educational and cultural
interests, create a true sense
of social responsibility, and
develop the finest qualities of character."
We were founded in 1873 in Oxford, Mississippi, by three young women who were unable to go home during a Christmas holiday. Together they formed a club, rooted in education and service, that now has more than 230,000 members.
Since 1873, Delta Gamma has grown into one of the largest Greek women's organizations with collegiate chapters throughout the United States and Canada and alumnae living worldwide.
Delta Gamma is more than just a collegiate experience; it is a lifetime of commitment, support and opportunity. While a member's collegiate experience may include fun social events, chapter meetings and leadership opportunities, her Delta Gamma experience will grow into something much more. When a Delta Gamma looks for her first professional job, when she expands her family, or when she moves to an unfamiliar city; Delta Gamma will be a part of her story.
