Chapter
Xi
Delta Gamma, a national women's fraternity with 146 collegiate chapters and more than 250 alumnae groups, offers to women of all ages a rich heritage based on principles of personal integrity, personal responsibility and intellectual honesty. Its primary purpose is to foster high ideals of friendship, promote educational and cultural interests, create a true sense of social responsibility and develop the finest qualities of character.
Having been founded in 1885, Xi Chapter at the University of Michigan has become a model of success within the Delta Gamma Fraternity, and the world beyond.
Delta Gamma Symbols
-The original badge of our Founders was the letter H. This symbolized Hope, which was our Founders watchword.
-Only initiated members wear the official badge of the Fraternity. In 1877 the “H” badge changed to an anchor, which is the traditional symbol for hope.
-Women who are pledged to join, but who are not yet initiated, wear the new member pin. The white shield has the Greek letters Pi Alpha inscribed on it. This shield is the suggested Fraternity badge and will be exchanged for the badge upon initiation.
-The Fraternity flower is the cream-colored rose. The Fraternity colors are bronze, pink and blue.
