Delta Gamma is a sorority. It more commonly goes by its nickname DG.
Service & Philanthropy
Delta Gamma’s philanthropic work is focused on Service for Sight. Service for Sight promotes sight preservation and provides aid to people who suffer from visual impairments.
The Delta Gamma Foundation has given over $3.15 million in Service for Sight grants to organizations and schools that share this mission. DG at Columbia donates funds, glasses, and audio books to programs that offer aid to people who suffer from visual impairments. It also hosts events each semester that raise money and awareness for Service for Sight.
Annual DG philanthropy events
- In the fall DG hosts its annual Anchor Splash event. Anchor Splash is a night in which teams of Columbia fraternity men perform synchronized swimming routines and compete in relay races. Fall 2013's event raised $6190.50 for Service for Sight.
- In the spring DG holds its annual Anchor Bake Sale, where it sells baked goods around campus. DG also hosts Delta Glam, which is a fashion show that features members of the Columbia Greek community. Delta Glam is an opportunity to enjoy a great night of clothes, music, and entertainment while supporting Service for Sight.
In addition to supporting Service for Sight, Delta Gammas also support various other philanthropic organizations on campus and make an effort to “Do Good” every day, as this is DG’s motto.
