Long Awaited Update!

Please accept my sincere apology in the lack of blog posts this semester. It has been a crazy one for all of us. So here comes a huge update with all we've been up to this semester (it might be out of order, my apologies again).



Our new members had several swaps and still have a few more left. It's been a lot of fun to mingle with the new members from different fraternities.

 In order to get to know each other better before picking bigs and littles the future bigs and new members had several sailor sister events including several dinners and a trip out to Chewacla.

This year for big/little reveal we did something a little different. Instead of the giant gift boxes that we've done in the past, each big gave her little a prop as part of the last gift. The bigs and their families then dressed up as something that went with the prop. It turned out to be very fun and it was cool to see everyone's creativity with their themes.

The chapter had a What Used to Be Cool social. Everyone brought out their best 90s wear and had a great time. We even had a group that dressed up as the Spice Girls.














Our beautiful president Jacie Coressel was part of the Top 5 for Miss Homecoming! We had a great week "Joining Jacie" as we campained for her and raised awareness about the dangers of drunk driving and safe ways to get home in Auburn.

 

  

This past Thursday we initiated all of our lovely new members. We are so excited that they are all official Delta Gammas now. At Celebration afterwards the bigs and littles exchanged their anchors and paddles with a sit down dinner and brass ensemble playing for us.

 

We held Parent's Weekend this past weekend during Homecoming. Aubrey planned a great tailgate and BBQ dinner after the game.  

 

Our new members had a photoshoot on Sunday at Samford Lawn before their last New Member meeting.





We've had a great semester hanging out and bonding outside of DG activites and are super excited for our Cream Rose Ball on Friday!

Recruitment 2013

We were so excited to return to Auburn for recruitment and reveal our new chapter room! We had a lot of new furniture and decorations to complete a wonderful transformation that looks much more modern.

We had such a great recruitment and welcomed 62 beautiful new members on Bid Day! Still waiting on pictures from our photo company.

Keep checking back to see more updates from their New Member Period and what the rest of the chapter is up to this semester!

Cornhole Tournament!

Delta Sigma hosted our very first spring philanthropy event this past Thursday, March 28th. We held a Cornhole Tournament to raise money for Service for Sight. Teams of two competed in the Cornhole Tournament, and we had BBQ catered from Byron's Smokehouse. Everyone had a great time hanging out and watching or playing in the tournament. Thank you to the DG chapter at NC State for the great idea!

Founder's Day 2013

We celebrated Founder's Day on March 24th this year here at Auburn. The event was held at the Auburn Hotel in one of the ballrooms. We enjoy celebrating Founder's Day every year, reflecting on what DG means to us with our whole chapter and many alumni. This year, our speaker was former International President Shari Malone. She shared some amazing advice and stories of how DG has impacted her life.

Spring Formal

We had our Spring Semi-Formal on March 22nd this year at the Webster House. It was a little cold and rainy, but our girls managed to look beautiful and have a great time nonetheless.

Mardi Gras Social

Who says Mardi Gras is over? We had a Mardi Gras Social last night with Delta Zeta, Theta Chi, and Sigma Chi at 1716. Everyone brought out their beads and had a great time. 

Scrapbooking at Camellia

Today we visited Camellia Place and helped with scrapbooking. We always have a great time visiting with the residents there. Here is what one of our girls, Allie Mullen, had to say about today:

"It went really well. We made a lot of fun pages and got to hear tons of funny stories from the residents there. My favorite person to hear from is Dr. Sonny. He would talk to you all day if he could. It seems like he has done or experienced so much in his years, so it's always fun to listen to his wisdom."

One of Dr. Sonny's Cards

 Last time we visited with Dr. Sonny he was kind enough to give several of us special greeting cards that he had made from his artwork. He is a very talented man, and just one of the very special people at Camellia. Each of the residents there has so much to share with us about all the amazing things they've done so far in their lives.

Parent's Weekend

We just had Parent's Weekend a few days ago. Friday we had a silent auction in the chapter room and then attended the Women's Gymnastics meet. On Saturday, we had a luncheon at Greystone Mansion and then the Seniors had a Senior Cocktail later that evening with their parents and pledge class.

It turned out to be a really great weekend visiting with all of our families.
