SPONSOR SOMEONE
Are you a Delta Gamma who knows of a young woman who would make a great Delta Gamma herself? We want to know about her! Please take the time to complete a DG Sponsor Form for a potential new member (PNM).

Log in to myDG to access the Sponsor Form and learn more about the recruitment process. Feel free to contact our Sponsorship Chair with questions.

TIPS FOR WRITING A SPONSOR FORM
Before writing the Sponsor Form, review and gather information on the PNM; include a picture if possible.

• Type or print clearly.
• The more information you provide the more useful the form will be. Remember, in most cases the Sponsor Form is the first contact the chapter has with a PNM. Your personal comments and examples are invaluable.
• Be as descriptive as possible when filling out a Sponsor Form. For example, it is important to let the evaluating committee know if a woman is shy, reserved or assertive so they can plan a recruitment strategy.
• Highlight and underscore outstanding potential.
• If you know grades and activities, but not personality or character and you are not comfortable signing the Sponsor Form, check the box for "information only" so the chapter can work on other sponsors. However, if you hear from a reliable source that she meets all five points of the star, sign the Sponsor Form.
• If you can't find any information on a PNM and you have exhausted your resources, let the chapter evaluating committee know immediately.
• If you have concerns about a PNM and you do not wish to sponsor her, check the appropriate box and state if you would like a phone contact with the collegiate recruitment adviser. You may share your substantiated, general concerns with her and should do so as soon as possible.
  • Verified specifics may be stated, not written, to the adviser only. Such information is not to be released to the collegians under any circumstance.
  • Give the woman the benefit of the doubt and let the chapter make the decision unless you have first-hand information. The chapter may have received other Sponsor Forms that are positive.
  • Ultimately, the decision rests with the chapter.
  • Delta Gamma chapters pledge women on the five points of the star and their chapter's membership goals.

Sponsor Your Legacy
The term "legacy" is used to describe the candidate who is the sister, daughter or granddaughter of a member of Delta Gamma. The Fraternity also recognizes a stepsister, stepdaughter or step granddaughter as a legacy.

The sister, mother or grandmother of a legacy (or step-sister, -mother or -grandmother) is encouraged to write and send a Delta Gamma Sponsor Form for their potential new member.

• Legacies are considered to have a special understanding of Fraternity membership and an appreciation for the values of the organization because they have grown up in a Delta Gamma environment.
• Delta Gamma asks chapters to give special consideration to sponsored candidates for membership, and Fraternity policy requires that special consideration be given to legacies.

A Delta Gamma legacy shall be invited to a minimum of one invitational round as long as the local Panhellenic regulations allow.

• Any legacy who meets the five points of the membership star and the chapter's membership goals should be given the additional special consideration as stated in the chapter's standing rules.
• Unless the local college Panhellenic rules require an early vote on a legacy, she should remain on the list as any other potential new member.
