Delta Gamma was founded in 1873 in Oxford, Mississippi, at the Lewis School for Girls by three young women who were unable to go home for the Christmas break. Together, Anna Boyd, Mary Comfort, and Eva Webb created a club of "mutual helpfulness." They chose the Greek letters Delta and Gamma because of their desire to "Do Good." It remains Delta Gamma's motto today and a driving force in all we do. Since then, Delta Gamma has grown into one of the largest international women's organizations, with more than 250,000 members, 153 collegiate chapters and 200 alumnae groups.

The Epsilon Kappa chapter of Delta Gamma was first established in February of 1981 at Clemson University.  Membership, however, declined in the early 2000s, and Delta Gamma's Fraternity Council made the difficult decision to close the chapter. Delta Gamma was selected in 2020 for reestablishment on Clemson's campus. Today, Delta Gamma is a thriving sorority on Clemson's campus that desires to do good. Our members strive to live by the ideals set by our founders to foster friendship, academic excellence and a true sense of social responsibility. Within our sisterhood, you will find incredibly talented, diverse, and accomplished young women, each bringing something special to our chapter. Each year, we look forward to growing our chapter and finding more women with a passion for doing good.
