Who We Are

Delta Gamma has a long and storied history as a pioneer in the women’s fraternal movement. Founded in 1873 in Oxford, Mississippi, at Lewis School by three young women, our Founders sparked a movement to create safe and empowering communities for women on college campuses. 

For 150 years, Delta Gamma has connected women of impact to champion one another as we continue to transform our connections into a lifetime of belonging. Through lifetime membership in Delta Gamma, sisters are given the opportunity to belong to and support one of the leading international women’s fraternities. Upon graduation, whether relocating or staying in the same city, alumnae groups are an instant connection to sisters.

Delta Gamma alumnae are encouraged to participate in a local alumnae group. Chapters and associations are organized by members who live in the same city or general location. Alumnae groups come in all shapes and sizes and vary according to interests and demographics, but all offer lifetime membership opportunities for friendship, leadership, networking, sisterhood and doing good.

The Tampa Alumnae Chapter was first established as an association on August 8, 1958. After experiencing significant membership growth, it was proudly chartered on October 17, 1983.

Visit our the official Delta Gamma website for more information about membership and virtual groups.
