Establishing a Delta Gamma Chapter Expansion is an adventure, a plan for the future! It is an opportunity and challenge for the alumnae and the Fraternity. It is a partnership between the college, the Fraternity, and the alumnae near the campus who will assist the new members. Expansion occurs two ways Establishing a new chapter on a campus Accepting a petition from an existing qualified group of women on a campus. In both instances, Delta Gamma must be invited by the Collegiate Panhellenic system on the campus.

Building a Delta Gamma Chapter
Delta Gamma is committed to ensuring that each colony and chapter is a strong, vital, and contributing member of its campus community.

Delta Gamma local and international volunteers as well as Executive Offices Staff provide the support necessary to build a new chapter and sustain and guide the existing ones.

Collegiate Development Consultant/Colony Consultant
All Delta Gamma chapters are visited at least once a year by a Collegiate Development Consultant (CDC). Colonies, however, get additional onsite support from Colony Consultants, CDCs that have received additional training specific to guiding our newest Delta Gammas. These well-trained ambassadors of Delta Gamma assist the colonies and chapters with education, programming, officer duties, and areas of particular concern to the colony or chapter.

Council Appointed Coordinator
The Council Appointed Coordinator (CAC) is an experienced Fraternity alumna who coordinates the colony development. She gives the colony additional guidance for building a strong chapter. The Council Appointed Coordinator also recruits and trains the Advisory Team and House Corporation.

Other alumnae who work with the colony:
Advisory Team — Alumnae who serve as advisers to the officers and members of the chapter.
House Corporation — Alumnae who are responsible for the proper maintenance of the chapter facility.
