Member Testimonials

"Delta Gamma provided me with a home on campus when I didn't have one in my freshman year. Going through recruitment was one of the best decisions I made at William and Mary. It forced me to go outside of my comfort zone and because of that, I had the opportunity to connect with so many unique and passionate women that have expanded my perspective and shown me the power of sisterhood and community. Our sisterhood has so many natural leaders that will change this world for the better, and I am beyond fortunate that we have been able to have thought-provoking conversations that have challenged the way I thinkDG members on porch and live my life. I am looking forward to creating deeper connections with sisters I don't know as well and seeing how I can support them in my everyday pursuits. Every time I see one of my sisters, I feel a sense of relief and joy as a smile cross both of our faces, and that bond is truly beautiful and something I hope to emphasize in years to come." - Mattea Rabeno PC ‘21
"DG has loved and accepted me for who I am, and I am forever thankful to find such a special group of women that genuinely care about me. DG pushes me to grow and be the best version of myself wherever I am. Joining DG is the best decision I ever made!" -  Delaney Clements PC ‘22
