∆ ∆ ∆ Villanova University Gamma Beta Chapter   Delta Delta Delta Fraternity, founded in 1888, began as an organization concerned with the growth and development of the college woman and has evolved into a leader among sororities. Many years ago Sarah Ida Shaw envisioned a women's Fraternity that would promote the ideals of truth, self-sacrifice and friendship. The organization's purpose and motto help to keep that goal alive with our members today. Our Purpose Written in 1888 by Sarah Ida Shaw, Boston THE PURPOSE OF DELTA DELTA DELTA shall be to establish a perpetual bond of friendship among its members, to develop a stronger and more womanly character, to broaden the moral and intellectual life, and to assist its members in every possible way. IT SHALL ALSO BE THE PURPOSE OF DELTA DELTA DELTA to promote and develop mutually beneficial relationships between the Fraternity and the colleges and universities where the Fraternity has established chapters, to develop qualities of unselfish leadership among its members, and to encourage them to assume, with integrity and devotion to moral and democratic principles, the highest responsibilities of college women.   Accomplishments #1 Raising Chapter in the Northeast #1 Raising Sorority Chapter at Villanova #2 Raising Chapter in the Nation St. Jude's Best First-Time Philanthropy Event Award Chapter of the Year 2007 Philanthropy Award 2007 Excellence in Recruitment Award 2007
