The Do Good Sisterhood

Delta Gamma Who We Are Founding Members

In 1873 three friends, Anna Boyd, Mary Comfort and Eva Webb, were sent more than 100 miles from home to attend Lewis School in Oxford, Mississippi. Unable to return home for the winter holidays, they turned to each other for comfort and formed our sisterhood.

We are Delta Gamma

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.

“The objects of this Fraternity shall be to foster high ideals of friendship among women, to promote their educational and cultural interests, to create in them a true sense of social responsibility, and to develop in them the best qualities of character.”
