here are some fun fun facts about good ole Delta Gamma!!
Delta Gamma was the first to have a registered flower with the National Rose Association, so if you want a cream rose from a flower shop, you can always ask for the Delta Gamma Cream Rose.
Delta Gamma's have a star in the universe! It's the middle one in Orion's Belt.
Delta Gamma was the first to establish an independant philanthropic Foundation in 1951.
~fun fact relating to that: Ruth Billow (an Eta chapter member) addresses Nationals at Convention in 1936 to adopt Aid to the Blind and Service for Sight as our National Foundation purpose.
Delta Gamma was the first to build its own National facility. Executive Offices is located in Columbus, OH.
A couple from my own chapter (ETA):
*Eta is the oldest existing chapter of Delta Gamma...founded in 1879....we'll be 125 years old in 2004!!
*Eta members recieved $30,000 in scholarships this past year through the Dorothy Garrett Martin Delta Gamma Scholarship that is given to members of Eta Chapter every year in honor of Dorothy Garrett Martin (an Eta alumnae)
