Founder's Day & Big/Little Reveal

Delta Gamma celebrated its Founders Day’s on Saturday, March 3rd 2012.  Founder’s day is a time to celebrate DG alumnae and the continued legacy of the fraternity throughout the years.

All of the Houston Delta Gammas joined DG Alumnae from all over the country, as well as other DG collegians from different Universities to enjoy a delicious brunch.  The brunch was held at the beautiful Briar Club and was hosted by DG alum.
During the Founders Day celebration, Delta Gamma’s were recognized for their accomplishments and awarded for their success.  Three awards were given out based on the qualities of our founding fathers: Eva Webb Dodd, Mary Comfort Leonard and Anna Boyd Ellington.
Three active DG’s won awards in honor of our founding fathers characteristics.  Congratulations to Emily Cloninger, Megan Tegethoff and Ashley Lozano for exemplifying Delta Gamma in a uniquely cherished way.
Multiple DG’s received scholarships in the amount of $500 for academics and leadership within our chapter.  It was great to see our sisters get recognized for their hard work and dedication!

Not only was the Founder’s Day brunch the perfect time to catch up with sisters and alumnae, it was also a great networking opportunity.  The brunch was filled with successful Delta Gamma’s looking to help out as many sisters as possible.

I sat at a table with a Delta Gamma alum, who now works at the corporate office of Francesca’s, a clothing store that I LOVE! As a PR major with an interest in fashion, working for Francesca’s corporate office in the future would be a great job for me!  I was so happy to get the chance to meet her and hear about what she does.  I’m beyond excited to further look into opportunities to intern or gain experience at Francesca’s!

All in all, Founder’s Day went great!

Big/Little reveal

Although our Spring 2012 pledge class was small, we went all out for our Big/Little reveal!  This year we had a “big in a box” theme, which literally means that the bigs get into a wrapped box and pop out to reveal to themselves to their littles!
 took the most precious little ever from the spring 2012 pledge class and thought it would be funny to squeeze into the tiniest box ever!  It wasn’t that hard because I am only 5 feet tall.

My little was so excited and afterwards, my whole family went to eat at Empire Café in Houston.



As Delta Gammas, we always make our little’s feel extra special to assure them that they made the right decision choosing DG.
