Delta Gamma

Delta Gamma is an international women’s fraternity that continues to place a strong dedication on personal values and standards, academic excellence, leadership and service. Delta Gamma encourages each member to strive for excellence and offers the programming and support to help each member reach that commitment. Delta Gamma offers its members the experience of sharing the strong bonds of sisterhood for a lifetime. 

 Delta Gammas membership has grown to more than 142,000 women worldwide with 260 collegiate chapters and more than 250 alumnae groups across the United States and Canada. Delta Beta got started on UK's campus in the fall of 1962 when the existing sororities on campus were unable to accommodate the number of women wishing to pledge. Delta Gamma was selected as the chapter to be brought to UK's campus. Delta Gamma actives and alumnae from other Delta Gamma chapters came and assisted with recruitment. Delta Beta of Delta Gamma pledged its first group of outstanding women the following semester. Work began on our current house almost immediately and our current home at 450 Pennsylvania Avenue opened in 1963. The anchor can still be seen sitting in our front yard today. Since our founding on UK's campus we've received numerous awards such as the Deans cup, homecoming queen, and have had girls participate in student government as well as the equestrian team, track team, dance team, and cheerleading. Since our existence on this chapter we have been a part of nearly every student organization on campus.
