Anchored in the Alamo City......DG in San Antonio!

"A friend is neither an anchor to hold us back,

nor a sail to take us there.

But is always a guiding light, whose love shows us the way."

Here in San Antonio, the bonds of Delta Gamma run deep and strong. Some of our members have been together for many years, some are forming new friendships, a few are brand new. We have a wide range of ages and experiences, yet we all share a sisterhood in Delta Gamma. There are about 360 Delta Gamma alumnae living in the San Antonio area and we welcome new faces each time we meet.

We were honored to receive the Outstanding Alumnae Chapter Award for Division 2 at Convention 2004 in Washington D.C.  Since that time, the chapter has been recognized multiple times for excellence in service, PR and newsletter, Web site and more.  Most recently, we were honored to receive a Alumnae Excellence Award for  2006-2007, 2007-2008 and 2008-2009!

Our efforts to further Delta Gamma's National Foundation, Service for Sight, include vision screening of local elementary and pre-school age children, an annual Easter Egg Hunt for visually impaired children, fund-raising through an annual Rummage Sale, the Campbell's "Labels for Education" project, scholarship and memorial donations, and more.  In November of 2003 we were very proud to partner for the first time with the San Antonio Lighthouse to host San Antonio's first Heirloom Appraisal Day.  It was a tremendous success, raising over $42,000 for their Focus on Seniors program.  The Lighthouse and Delta Gamma have continued to work together each year to raise money for many of the Lighthouse's wonderful programs.

Each local alumnae receives a biannual newsletter, published in the spring and fall.  Dues paying members also may receive a directory of members and will have an official nametag waiting for them at meetings. Local dues are $20.00 per year at the basic (blue) level, and may be paid at a meeting or mailed to our treasurer. This amount no longer includes the per capita dues that are sent to Executive Offices.  Those are now billed directly from EO.  We encourage all local members to pay their dues in support of both our chapter and Delta Gamma Fraternity as a whole.  For more dues information, and to view our three levels of membership, see Dues and Finance.

We have an amazing calendar planned for this year. Please check it out in full and print it for easy reference. Information regarding locations of and directions to our meetings is included in the newsletter, and may be obtained via email by contacting the webmaster.

The San Antonio Delta Gamma alumnae chapter is a member of the local chapter of the National Panhellenic Association. We are represented by one delegate and an alternate.  Currently, San Antonio alumna Carol Aldridge, BH, is serving as President on the local Panhellenic board of directors.

Our newsletter, "Anchored in the Alamo City," published twice a year, informs members of details regarding coming events and past happenings. Features include communications from the president and other officers, a pull-out calendar, DG news, announcements, recipes and other fun topics.  To receive an electronic version of our recent newsletters, please email us at sanantoniodg@yahoo.com. 

Though San Antonio does not have a local collegiate chapter here in the city, we do support many of the Region 6 chapters close to us. We are involved in a more "hands-on" way with the Zeta Eta Chapter at Texas State University in San Marcos. Zeta Eta is a growing chapter and we enjoy seeing them each year at Founders Day and other events. We also cherish our "Aunt Hannah" program, which supports all of our local San Antonio DG girls at colleges and universities in Texas and around the country.

The San Antonio alumnae chapter of Delta Gamma is proud to have been the hosts of the 2002 National Convention, "Deep in the Heart of DG." It was a tremendous success, thanks to the hard work and effort of all of our local members. Thank you ladies!!!
