Organization Facts

Delta Gamma was founded by Anna Boyd Ellington, Eva Webb Dodd, and Mary Comfort Leonard in 1873 in Oxford, Mississippi, at the Lewis School for Girls near the University of Mississippi. The early growth for Delta Gamma was confined to women's colleges in the South. Within a few years, Delta Gamma was established in the North and then later expanded to the East. In 1891, Delta Gamma was one of the seven charter members of the National Panhellenic Conference when the first inter-sorority meeting was held in Boston.

As the population moved West, so did Delta Gamma. What began as a club in the South soon became an international fraternity in both scope and thinking as Delta Gamma established itself not only in the United States, but also in Canada. Through the years, goals and achievements have grown as Delta Gammas continue to live by the motto set forth by the Founders, "Do Good."

The Eta Delta Chapter of Delta Gamma was formed in the spring of 1999. A sorority interest group of women had already shown interest that they wanted to bring on a Greek letter sorority. In spring of 1999, Delta Gamma was one of four groups to express interest in coming to UNF. Delta Gamma was voted on unanimously. In Delta Gamma's first formal recruitment in fall of 1999, 51 new women were welcomed to Delta Gamma.

My name is Chandler Thompson, I am from Orlando, Florida. I am nineteen years old and the youngest president in the history of Eta Delta. Before becoming President, I held the position of Vice President programming. I am a current sophomore here at UNF studying Psychology. I am attending college in hopes of becoming a counselor or therapist for teens and women with eating disorders or depression. During the summer, I work as a middle school youth leader for The First Presbyterian Church of Orlando. I joined Delta Gamma in the Fall of 2011. I started the idea of “Complimonday” that has not only reached Delta Gamma nationwide but Panhellenic as a whole as well. I have participated in Dance Marathon for two years and actively work volunteering for Best Buddies. Some of my hobbies include volunteering, spending time with my friends and family, going for beach runs and playing the guitar.
