When I first joined Delta Gamma, I had no idea the impact it would have on my collegiate career. Delta Gamma quickly became a home and I had made a new family. I had the privilege of living in our chapter facility where I made some of the best friends I could ever ask for. Delta Gamma has given me new connections, leadership opportunities , and new experiences. Without Delta Gamma I truly have no idea where I would be at now! Delta Gammas values have helped me become a better person. I have instilled a great quality of character and have focused on my friendships. It is truly humbling to be apart of something that is bigger than yourself. I am thankful everyday for Delta Gamma and my sisters. I am always aiming to, "Do Good."

Fun Facts

  • Delta Gamma was founded on December 25, 1873 in Oxford, Mississippi at the Lewis School for Girls by three young women who were unable to go home for the Christmas break.

  • In 1877, Delta Gamma adopted the anchor, the age-old symbol of hope, as their national symbol.

  • "Service for Sight" became the heart of Delta Gamma's mission in 1936, when a member who was blind, Ruth Billow (member of the Eta chapter at The University of Akron), petitioned to adopt it as our official philanthropy.

  • The Delta Gamma Foundation has founded 5 schools for the blind across the U.S.

  • Kent State Delta Gamma works directly with the Cleveland Sight Center each year volunteering and raising money to help patients and families afford the treatment they need.
