Way to be a DG! 10/4/11

Every week vp: social standards Taylor Deppe presents our "Way to be a DG" award to an outstanding member (or group of members) that have contributed an exceptional amount of time and effort to the chapter and deserve special recognition at our chapter meeting! Without these girls' hard work and dedication, we wouldn't have the wonderful chapter we do today.

This week's "Way to be a DG" for the new member class goes out to Kayle Carr for organizing the new member class' PowerPoint!

And for the active members, Katie Reichenbach, PC '09 and Mercedes Ordonez, PC '10 are applauded for their efforts in organizing Lectureship this year! Once again, Delta Gamma, Mu chapter had a wonderfully successful event and loved every second of it!

Thanks again, ladies!

Delta Gamma Lectureship

This past Wednesday, one man was at the center of Delta Gamma’s attention— Aron Ralston! We selected Aron as our speaker for our annual DG Foundation in Values and Ethics Lectureship. Needless to say, he was definitely an inspiration. Aron’s heartrending story hit the big screen this past year with the release of the Oscar-nominated film, 127 Hours.

Gracey Roope (Chapter President), Aron Ralston, & Katie Reichenbach (Director of Lectureship)

Aron, a natural adventure-seeker, was hiking in a canyon in eastern Utah when an 800-pound boulder fell from above him, pinning his right arm and trapping him in a remote 3-foot wide slot for 5 days. With barely any food and water, and little hope for survival, Aron managed to free himself by using a dull pocketknife to amputate his own arm. “I did not lose my hand, but I gained my life back,” he said of the life-changing experience.

Aron’s story was truly motivating, and his encouraging words about overcoming adversity radiated throughout the entire audience. Aron reminded us that ANYTHING is possible!

Puppy Love Fundraiser

Puppy love is so addicting! So, when Delta Gammas heard of Delta Sigma Phi's fundraiser, they willingly went down the block to help raise money for Habitat for Humanity.

The sleep puppy (above) is in heaven while Carson Love (PC '10) rubs his belly.

Allie Riordan, Ali Ward and Carson Love (PC '10) play with this fluffy puppy.

Girls paid $3 to play with the adorable puppies and enjoy fellowship with the men of Delta Sigma Phi. Hotdogs, chips and drinks were also included on this gorgeous day. All proceeds - including the entry fee that Delta Gamma girls paid - went straight to Habitat for Humanity.

Delta Gammas were so enthusiastic to get together with the men of Delta Sigma Phi to contribute to their wonderful fundraiser!
