Delta Gamma History
Delta Gamma was founded in 1873 in Oxford, Mississippi, at the Lewis School for Girls by three young women who were unable to go home for the Christmas break. Together, Anna Boyd, Mary Comfort and Eva Webb created a club of "mutual helpfulness."
They chose the Greek letters Delta and Gamma because of their desire to "Do Good." It remains Delta Gamma's motto today and a driving force in all we do.

Our Crest
Our Badge
Our Flower
The official Fraternity crest incorporates the cream colored rose, Greek letters, and the Delta Gamma colors of bronze, pink, and blue.
The original badge of our Founders was the letter "H." This symbolized hope, which was our Founders' watchword. In 1877, the original "Hope" badge was changed to the traditional symbol of hope, the anchor.
Our flower is the cream-colored rose and is beloved by our members. The cream colored rose is registered as the "Delta Gamma" by the American Rose Society.
Our Motto
Our motto is "Do Good." It emphasizes our desire to be a part of something bigger than ourselves.
The anchor is the most widely recognized symbol of Delta Gamma Fraternity. The anchor is the traditional symbol for hope.
Our Symbol
Our Colors

Sweet Home Delta Gamma
a.k.a. "the deeg"
We opened the doors to our house, affectionately named "The Deeg" in August of 1999. Since then it has served as a meeting and living space for our chapter. Not to mention, where we host many of our events. Our beloved deeg will be getting a new addition this fall, as we are preparing for a new chapter room upstairs.
