Delta Gamma

Delta Gamma (ΔΓ), commonly known as DG, is a women's fraternity in the United States and Canada with over 250,000 initiated members.

[5] The group's founders were Mary Comfort Leonard, Eva Webb Dodd, and Anna Boyd Ellington.

[3][5] Delta Gamma's early growth was to women's colleges in the southern United States.

[7] Delta Gamma was one of seven charter members of the National Panhellenic Conference when the first inter-sorority meeting was held in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1891.

[8] Delta Gamma and the six other charter members formally joined the National Panhellenic Conference in 1902.

[13] Before the adoption of the golden anchor, Delta Gamma's symbol was simply an "H" for "Hope".

Today's badge has a small cable wrapping around the top of the anchor, with the Greek letters Tau Delta Eta (ΤΔΗ) on the crosspiece.

The fraternity is one of the first recipients of the Helen Keller Philanthropic Service Award, given by the American Foundation for the Blind for assistance to those who are visually impaired and for sight conservation.

[16] It was also the first recipient of the Virginia Boyce Award presented by Prevent Blindness America.

The official Delta Gamma magazine is the Anchora ("aNGkərə" not "ankôrə"), which has been published quarterly continuously since 1884.
