Delta Gamma Celebrates 150th Founders Day
March 15, 2024, officially marks 150 years of the Do Good Sisterhood. Founded in 1873 at Lewis School in Oxford, Mississippi, Delta Gamma has more than 260,000 initiated members, 149 collegiate chapters and more than 170 alumnae groups.
The sesquicentennial kicked off at the 2022 Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, included a Homecoming Celebration Weekend in Memphis, Tennessee and Oxford, Mississippi, in the summer of 2023 and will conclude at Convention in Palm Desert June 27-29.
This Founders Day, sisters are invited to join us for a virtual Founders Day program. We'll be joined by Delta Gamma Archivist Diane Hall, Eta Upsilon-Drexel, who will take us into the Delta Gamma vault and show us some of DG's most coveted "crown jewels." She will teach us the history, meaning, and significance of some of our oldest and most precious badges and jewelry. In addition to Diane's presentation, we'll celebrate our Founders with a candlelighting ceremony. You won't want to miss this, so register today!
