WHY DELTA GAMMA?
In 1873 the first 3 sisters of Delta Gamma created the motto of "Doing Good" and the fraternity as a whole takes a pledge to uphold this motto still to this day. As a sisterhood of more than 230,000 members across the globe, Delta Gamma encourages an atmosphere which will foster high ideals of friendship among collegiate women, promote their educational and cultural interests, create in them a true sense of social responsibility, and develop in them high qualities of character. Every member is unique and yet we all share a single bond of friendship through Delta Gamma. DG is more than just a collegiate experience; it is a lifetime commitment of support and opportunity.
