Happy Holidays from Mu Chapter!

The women of Delta Gamma at Mizzou would like to wish you and yours a happy holiday season! We are enjoying our time away from classes to spend time at home with our family, but before our winter break began, we made time to celebrate the holidays with our sisters. Members of NMCs '10 and '11 used DG's pretty outdoor lights as a backdrop for holiday group shots.

DG House Becomes Santa's Workshop

On Sunday, December 4th, Mu chapter housed a holiday craft sale. 2012 PI CHI (NMC '10) organized the successful event to finish her term as Director of Sisterhood Events. There were several vendors there, including Bowtique, BelleStyle, and Cha Boutique. All had a variety of accessories for Delta Gamma ladies to get a jump start on their holiday shopping, and there were a variety of treats made by our awesome cook, AJ. The event was a great three-hour break from studying and got everyone at Mu chapter in the holiday spirit!

Twilight Brings Sisters Together

Mu chapter DGs crowded Hollywood Theaters' Columbia location early Friday morning, November 18th. The sisterhood event, planned by 2012 PI CHI (NMC '10), brought sisters together for the 12:45 am showing of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn-Part 1. We filled an entire theater and many ladies channeled their favorite character with awesome costumes!

The best dressed award went to Summer Bridges and Kelsey Porter (NMC '10) who are pictured at left. They won a gift card to the theater for future movie dates.

The event was a huge success and a great start to our long Thanksgiving Break!

Happy Turkey Day!!

As Delta Gammas, we have a LOT to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. We are grateful for our founders Mary Comfort Leonard, Eva Webb Dodd, & Anna Boyd Ellington and their vision of developing a sisterhood based on the principles of leadership, friendship, philanthropy, and academic excellence. We are thankful for all the alumnae that have blazed the trail for us and continue to support DG so that we can experience all this fraternity has to offer. We are thankful for our parents and families and the constant support, both financially and emotionally, they provide us with. We are thankful for all our advisors, VPs, and directors, for their steadfast guidance and leadership. Last but not least, we are thankful for each other. Without our sisters, our college experience (and rest of our lives) would not be the same. We hope everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving!

Way to be a DG! 11/14/11

This week's Way to be a DG goes out to all who made Anchor Splash possible and, of course, a special thanks to the lovely Nikki Bracken for organizing everything!

Without all the help from our very dedicated members, things wouldn't have been such a success. Thank you again to all the coaches, seniors and everyone else for lending a helping hand!

Anchor Splash 2011

Today was Delta Gamma's annual philanthropy, Anchor Splash, benefitting the organization Service for Sight! Teams of men from the fraternities on campus joined the girls at the Mizzou Recreational Center to dress in goofy costumes and perform silly dances, as well as synchronized swimming routines. The day was filled with laughter. The DG girls had the chance to coach the men throughout the past couple weeks to ensure their dances were perfect! Winning fraternity is to be announced shortly!

DG Dad's Weekend

On October 21st and 22nd, Delta Gamma girls celebrated Dad's Weekend and invited their dads to come visit them for a fun-filled weekend in Columbia. On Friday, DG held a casino night at the chapter house. Poker tables were set up, and both the dads and daughters enjoyed a night of delicious treats and poker games. On Saturday, the girls cheered on the Tigers with their dads as Mizzou took on Oklahoma State in a gripping football game. The weekend was a huge success, and we cannot wait to invite our dads back next fall!

Mizzou Centennial Homecoming

Mizzou, the originator of the Homecoming tradition, was proud to celebrate its 100th homecoming this October. Each year, every sorority is paired with a fraternity to participate in service projects, fundraisers, a blood drive, a parade, and a theatrical production. Delta Gamma was thrilled to be paired with the men of Kappa Alpha Order for the centennial Homecoming. This year's theme was Celebrations, and our pairing's theme was Halloween. Our skit was centered around the adventures of some Halloween characters and the troubles they encounter with three witches (to the left). After hours of hard work, our skit and dance turned out great! We are also proud to have won 1st place in Service and 1st place in Merchandise. Homecoming was an overall success for all, and the ladies of Delta Gamma had a blast celebrating and making a difference. Special thanks go out to our Homecoming liaisons, Kelsey Tracy and Morgan Coleman!
