Founding Date

May 27th, 1878

Fairmont College was an all-female college located in Monteagle, Tennessee. The college closed in 1917, and later became the DuBose Memorial Church Training School, which too subsequently closed. The third chapter of Delta Gamma was installed on May 27, 1877. Referred to as the first Theta chapter, it was installed by Katherine Thompson and members of the Psi-Lewis chapter and was only open for three years. The growth of Fraternities was seriously handicapped at the time because of the limited number of women attending college, as well as the increased opposition to secret societies in general.
