Delta Gamma was one of the seven charter members of the National Panhellenic Conference when the first inter-sorority meeting was held in Boston. In 1985 the Epsilon Psi chapter of Delta Gamma was installed at Rutgers University. The chapter was established on Mine Street, and in the summer of 2006 relocated to College Avenue. The chapter now resides in the beautiful house of 78 College Ave. The house is a home to all members, and up to 35 women reside there during the school year.
| When should I join a sorority? You should join a Greek group when it feels most comfortable for you. For some students this might mean joining right away; for others it might mean waiting until spring or until your sophomore year once you are settled in. Will joining Delta Gamma affect my GPA? Greek life is a time commitment; however, this time commitment can be balanced with schoolwork, and Delta Gamma supports their members’ academic efforts, whether its through scholarships, incentives for highest or most improved GPAs, and study hours. How much does it cost to join Delta Gamma? New member dues are around $600. Of course this does not have to be paid all at once and our Vice President of Finance will be more than happy to create a payment plan to meet each new member’s individual financial needs. Are there a lot of meetings and obligations that are a part of joining Delta Gamma? At the beginning of every semester, a calendar of the events is given out which can helps with time management. Our weekly meeting is held every Sunday at 6pm. We also have various “anchored” mandatory events that are connected with our philanthropy and community service. If you are unable to attend an anchored event you can request an excused absence. | Why do our sisters enjoy being a Dee Gee? We asked, and this is what they had to say: "I felt at home for once at Rutgers. I found girls that were motivated, intelligent, down to earth and everything that someone could want a friend to be. However, they didn't just become my friends...they became my sisters." -Ashley Aquino “Joining Delta Gamma has allowed me to make friends who I can turn to for anything from advice to study help. I have made enduring friendships that will last long after I graduate college.” -Carolyn Bazan |
