Happy Cinco De Mayo

Happy Cinco De Mayo from Mu Chapter.

"Take me out to the ball game..."

On Saturday April 30, Mu Chapter invaded Taylor Stadium to cheer on the Mizzou Baseball Team against Texas A&M University. Nice weather, a fun atmosphere, and good seats made for the perfect spring sisterhood event.

Our view of the field, go Mizzou!

Mom's Weekend 2011

This post is better late than never, right? The week after Spring Break Delta Gamma hosted its annual Mom's Weekend. Events included a social on Friday night followed by a show at Deja Vu Comedy Club and a day of shopping at the Mu Chapter house on Saturday. Many moms also took advantage of the opportunity to cheer DG on at the Greek Week events scheduled throughout the weekend as well.

Is there a better looking chapter house than Mu's? The correct answer is NO.

Seniors Abby Warren (pc 07) and Brittney Bloom (pc 07) pose with their Moms on Delta Gamma's front porch beneath the fabulous Mom's Weekend banner.

Seniors gathered at a senior house to play a mother-daughter theme trivia game on Saturday afternoon.

Freshman and sophomore pledge class members pose (sans moms) after a dessert and appetizer social on Friday night.

Doin' Good for Cedar Creek

The heat and sun couldn't hold us down! DG, along with Greek Week partners Delta Tau Delta and Theta Chi, went down to Cedar Creek Therapeutic Riding Center on Sunday and Tuesday for some good ole' yard work.

Much of Greek Week is centered around giving back to the community. Partners were asked to choose an organization in which they could participate in during the duration of Greek Week. After much consideration, our pairing decided on Cedar Creek Therapeutic Riding Center.

Ever since 1988, several people with all types of disabilities have been coming to Cedar Creek for horseback riding therapy. The Center relies heavily on volunteers to operate successfully. So, it was no surprise that DG, Delt and Theta Chi chose to participate in giving back to Cedar Creek! Fellow Greek Week partners enthusiastically made their way over to the Center to give back to such a deserving non-profit agency.

Founder and Executive Director Karen Grindler welcomed our pairing with open arms and a list of chores for us to do - most of it containing yard work.

Shoveling pavement may be difficult, but these boys and girls did it effortlessly!

DGs take a break from gardening to smile for the camera!

DG, Delt and Theta Chi get together for a group picture before continuing on with yard work.

It always feels right to do some good around the community. The few hours the boys and girls spent at Cedar Creek surely weren't wasted!

What a great way to spend a few hours
