Chapter History

Sigma chapter of Delta Gamma at Northwestern University was founded in 1882, only five years after the fraternity’s installation. As one of the first Delta Gamma chapters, Sigma strives to be the best they can be and live by the ideals of the fraternity. Delta Gamma was the first sorority to have a house in the NU sorority quads. In the 1920s, chapter members raised money for construction by running a tea house in their spare time called “the Anchor Inn.”

Today, the house, located at 618 Emerson Street, is a second home to over 100 college women. DGs are active on campus in many different activities including, but not limited to, A&O Productions, 85 Broads, ISBE, Dance Marathon, Club Lacrosse, SHAPE, SEED, and Northwestern Ski Trip. Sigma chapter was the proud recipient of PHA Chapter of the Year in 2014, as well as placed as finalists for numerous other awards. Many Delta Gamma members are members of the Greek honor societies Order of Omega, Rho Lambda, and Gamma Sigma Alpha.
