What does it mean to have a sponsor?
 

A lady at my church was a Delta Gamma when she was in school, and said that if there was a DG where I'm going (there isn't) she would have sponsored me. What does that even mean?

Swerving outside my lane, but I think it means she would have written you a rec for recruitment.

Delta Gamma does not use the term "rec"or "recommendation." We call it a "sponsor form."

If you're still missing recs though, it couldn't hurt to ask her if she knows any women from the groups you're missing recs from. ;)

And since you are "learning" about being Greek, once you are initiated, you are always a member. So unless the lady from church resigned her membership, in which case she could not write a sponsor form for you, she is still a Delta Gamma....not was. If she was one in school, she is one now.
