Chapter History

Delta Gamma Fraternity is one of the few Greek organizations that started its own philanthropy, Service for Sight. Service for Sight supports children and adults who are visually impaired and promotes sight preservation. Service for Sight started when a Delta Gamma sister Ruth Billow from the University of Akron, petitioned her fellow DG sisters to establish aiding the blind as the heart of Delta Gamma’s mission: Ruth herself was visually impaired. The ability to see affects every individual, and Delta Gammas express their passion for this noble cause by volunteering, spreading awareness, and fundraising for Service for Sight.

The Beta Epsilon chapter of Delta Gamma is honored to be the 21st chapter chosen across the country to annually host a renowned speaker at American University for all students to attend. To be included in the DGs Lectureship is an incredible honor for Beta Epsilon, and we are excited to create this legacy at AU. (Delta Gamma at Duke University is another chapter part of DGs Lectureship. Their chapter was able to host Maya Angelou as their values and ethics speaker!)
