Our Roots

A local group of women, Phi Delta Gamma, was formed in 1907 and officially became the Oklahoma Alpha Chapter in 1910 after installation by past Grand President May Lansfield Keller, Maryland Alpha. The installation ceremony took place that evening at the home of Nannie Miller, a charter member of Oklahoma Alpha. Celebratory activities included a Cookie Shine, the singing of “Ring Ching, Ching,” a five-course meal and a reception.

Supporting Sisters’ Dreams

Chapter-specific scholarship funds support collegiate chapter members as they pursue their academic dreams and professional goals. By giving to a scholarship fund, donors can directly impact their own chapter sisters and open doors that might not have been possible otherwise.

Building Leaders Who Shine

Chapter Leadership Education Expendable (CLEE) funds directly empower our sisters’ leadership journeys, helping eliminate financial barriers to leadership development opportunities for both chapter leaders and individual members. Giving to a CLEE fund allows donors to support the chapters they love while lighting the way for future leaders.

Creating Homes that Last

A Chapter House Improvement Program (CHIP) Fund allows chapter alumnae to make tax-deductible contributions in support of their chapter facility to fund qualified educational projects and expenses. From refreshed living areas to upgraded study rooms, CHIP Funds support both a premier housing experience and the members who call these spaces home.
