The objects of the Delta Gamma Fraternity shall be to foster high ideals of friendship among college women, to promote their educational and cultural interests, to create in them a true sense of social responsibility, and to develop in them the best qualities of character. Delta Gamma policy states that no alcoholic beverages may be served or stored on Delta Gamma property. The Council of Delta Gamma recommends that alcohol awareness and educational programs be an ongoing and integral part of each collegiate chapter's programming throughout the year. Council encourages members to identify with the concepts of responsible drinking and individual choice. No alcoholic beverages may be served or stored on Delta Gamma property.
Property is defined as houses, apartments, lodges, suites, dorms, dorm floors and meeting rooms.
This includes yards, driveways, sidewalks, and parking lots owned, rented, leased or designated for Delta Gamma use by house corporations or chapters. The New Member Pursuit Program is an eight-week comprehensive educational program for women who are pledging Delta Gamma. New members are required to attend a Sunday evening new member meeting, as well as other Delta Gamma events throughout the semester. At their first meeting, each new member receives a copy of the chapter's calendar. Two special events that the chapter organizes for the new members are Presents and Initiation.
