Delta Gamma offers to women of all
ages a rich heritage based on principles of personal integrity, personal responsibility
and intellectual honesty. Its primary purpose is to foster high ideals of
friendship, promote educational and cultural interests, create a true sense
of social responsibility, and develop the finest qualities of character. Delta
Gammas give more than 90,000 hours
a year in volunteer service in a variety of ways to their communities.
However, the work of the Foundation extends beyond service. Locally, the Eta
Delta Chapter contributes to Service
for Sight through many activities including: Anchor Splash® and Anchor Slam® volunteering at the The
Foundation is governed by the Delta Gamma Foundation Constitution and Articles
of Incorporation, the Convention and the Foundation Board of Trustees. 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. Today our chapter holds 90 active initiated women and has
initiated a total 292 women. Eta Delta has been honored with many awards some
of which are: 2001-2002 Greek Woman of the Year-

Our Three Founders: Mary
Comfort Leonard, Eva Webb Dodd and Anna Boyd Ellington - The trio grew
up together in Kosciusko, Mississippi, attended the Lewis School for Girls in
Oxford, Mississippi and founded Delta Gamma during a lonely Christmas
holiday. Anna and Eva were first cousins and Anna and Mary shared the same
birthday. Each of the three Founders was a woman of strong character and
special talents. Their biographical sketches, taken from the ANCHORA, winter
1955, give a glimpse into history that remains alive today through the legacy
of Delta Gamma. |
