5 Reasons for Pledging Delta Gamma
Aug 23,2017Now more than ever young women are seeing the benefits in pledging sororities due to the ways in which the Greek Institute impacts and changes one’s life. There are a number of sororities out there with admirable qualities, and deciding which one to pledge can feel like trying to pick the best option from a pool of bests. If you are looking at Delta Gamma, you are already off to a great start as it is the oldest sorority with the most members and alumnists. But there are some deeper reasons to pledge this organization. Here are five of them.
1. You Will Always Be Near Your Delta Gamma Sisters
Sure, all sorority sisters try to support one another through all stages of their lives, but nobody quite does it the way Delta Gamma does. This sorority has over 200 alumnae groups throughout the US, Canada, and Great Britain. This means you will likely be able to find groups near you for attending events. The sorority even has an app to help sisters locate one another and is, so far, the most advanced in sorority search tools.
2. Largest Promoters
According to various studies and surveys, Delta Gamma is more prevalent both on and off campus. When touring various campuses across the country, your chances of seeing women wearing custom Delta Gamma shirts will be significantly higher than spotting sisters in other organizations. Delta Gamma is also known for receiving the most financial support and donations from alumnae than any other sorority, and they are known for professionally promoting members through ongoing networking events focused on career growth.
3. Inexpensive Per Capita Dues that Still Help Current Sisters
Delta Gamma is known for keeping their alumnae dues at a low cost while going above and beyond in strategic funds management to ensure that current sisters get the best support. From funding recruitment events to allow for the best conventions in the Greek system, every cent is collected and funneled to the right places without causing hardships for alumnae.
4. Top Mentoring and Advising Services
Whether a Delta Gamma sister needs advising on where to go to grad school, or a member of alumnae is donating time to advise collegiate chapters, the wealth of mentoring and advising resources and opportunities is endless for this sorority. The unique opportunity to pass on experience and knowledge to future Delta Gamma leaders is highly rewarding. And current sisters who have powerful role models gain an abundance of help and support to grow and achieve their goals.
5. Consistency without Compromise
While some of the best sororities change their focus on purpose, Delta Gamma has remained constant since its founding more than 100 years ago. No matter how bad the economy gets, or how great the world seems to be spinning, “Do Good” remains the focus, no matter what. Whether you meet your sisters for the first time, or you run into one later in life when you have a career and family, your Delta Gamma family will always be there ready to “do good” for you, or to team up and help you spread value to others in the world around you.
