About Delta Gamma

Delta Gamma Fraternity was founded in 1873 in Oxford, Mississippi at the Lewis School for Girls. Anna Boyd, Mary Comfort and Eva Webb are the three founders. Delta Gamma is one of the largest international women's organizations with more than 250,000 members, 150 collegiate chapters, and 200 alumnae groups. Our founders helped spark a movement to create safe and empowering communities for women on college campuses. We still make that space for each other today, through a culture of belonging, a promise to empower and a commitment to put our purpose into practice. Our ongoing pursuit to do good is anchored in Article II of the Delta Gamma Constitution. Written by our Founders in 1873, Article II inspires Delta Gammas to act with intention and lead by example.
