Welcome to the Delta Tau chapter of Gamma Phi Beta!  We are an organization of 182 women who strive to embody our four core values of love, labor, learning, and loyalty in everything we do. Our members are incredibly active across Colgate’s campus in student government, volunteerism, athletics, research, the arts, and so much more. The members of the Gamma Phi Beta Delta Tau Chapter exemplify the highest standards of excellence in their academic pursuits, showing a dedication to learning and intellectual curiosity that is truly admirable. Through their hard work and determination, they have earned the respect and admiration of their peers and professors alike. Our Spring 2024 collective GPA was a 3.68, the highest average GPA for any Greek organization on campus.

Little Blue is a place where members come together to create long lasting bonds, enact change, and inspire the highest form of womanhood. This was first evident to me when I entered the door during recruitment in fall of 2022. The quaint house holds magic that all people can sense. This is thanks to the chapter's long commitment to our core values. We, as a chapter, feel that this work goes beyond the walls of Little Blue. We are dedicated to promoting inclusivity, diversity, and equity. We recognize the historically exclusionary and segregated practices of Greek Life, and it is our goal to make every individual feel welcome in our community. Eliminating discriminatory practices is an ongoing process that requires a long-term commitment. Additionally, in order to attain change externally, we need to ensure that we continue to look internally at how we can foster an inclusive space for our members themselves. I am inspired by the past presidents and their determination to break down the barriers that Greek Life creates on this campus. I will make it my priority as president to carry on their passions to create an environment where all are not just welcomed, but genuinely celebrated. 

Our members not only enact change under Gamma Phi Beta, but also in the wider community of Hamilton. We work to spread our central tenets of love, labor, learning, and loyalty through our commitments to service. Whether internships or various volunteer positions, the members of the Delta Tau chapter strive to make a positive impact in countless lives, no matter how big or small. As a whole, our chapter continues this service through our volunteer work and philanthropic efforts with our national philanthropy Girls on the Run.

It is an honor to serve the remarkable members of Gamma Phi Beta as their president in 2024. I find so much beauty and authenticity in our chapter that truly inspires me. Our members' hard work and dedication to eradicating exclusive practices and ideals brings me much hope for what is to come in 2024.
