Delta Gamma was founded by three young women/girls (ages 14-17, I believe) at the Lewis School for Girls. There were no other GLOs involved in our founding.
HOWEVER, our survival and move out of the south most definitely has to do with another Greek. George Banta, a Phi Delta Theta, was initiated into Delta Gamma so he could expand the Fraternity to Indiana. He established a chapter in Indiana - the first women he initiated was Lillian Vawter, his fiancee'.

Then there are friends who sail together, through quiet waters and stormy weather. Helping each other through joy and through strife. And those are the kind who give meaning to life.
