Why dee gee?

Consistent with our Founders' thoughts over 135 years ago, our primary purpose is to create an environment for our members in which lasting friendships can be formed. We encourage an atmosphere among college women which fosters high ideals of friendship, promotes their educational and cultural interests, creates in them a true sense of social responsibility and develops in them the best qualities of character.
Through our Delta Gamma Foundation we support our members' academic endeavors with undergraduate scholarships, graduate fellowships and interest-free loans. Every member is unique and yet we all share a single bond of friendship through Delta Gamma. Delta Gamma is more than just a collegiate experience; it is a lifetime of commitment, support and opportunity awaiting you!

leadership
Delta Gamma provides many leadership development opportunities for its members.
Collegiate chapters offer an assortment of leadership roles, ultimately involving
each member in the management of the chapter. Time management and
administrative and managerial skills are sharpened through seminars, conventions,
chapter advisers and visiting consultants. Delta Gamma's Leadership for Life
program offers crucial skills and activities for individualized development. This is a
dynamic, ethics-based leadership experience that empowers members. Delta Gamma
is a member of the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC), an umbrella organization for 26 inter/national women's fraternities and sororities. Each member group is autonomous as
a social, Greek-letter society. Each college campus has its own collegiate Panhellenic organization. As a member of NPC, Delta Gamma recruits members under NPC
guidelines and those of the local Panhellenic organization.
