It has been a busy, but fun semester for University of Houston (UH) Delta Gammas!

On February 13^th, Delta Gamma’s enjoyed a fun Valentine’s Day Mixer with the Kappa Sigma Chapter at UH.  The boys of Kappa Sigma got creative with the theme and set out a variety of ties on a table as we walked into their house.  Each DG was encouraged to take a tie, and then find who it belonged to by talking to multiple Kappa Sigma’s.  It was a great way to get to know the boys, and spend time with our sisters.

Delta Gamma also welcomed five new members for spring 2012!  The “Anchorbabies” were welcomed with excitement as they received their bids and arrived to the Delta Gamma house.

On Bid night, Delta Gamma hosted a huge celebration to welcome the new girls of DG! We all introduced ourselves and then loosened up with a dance party.  Each new member received a cute bag of goodies, with DG accessories and decorations.  We are so thankful for each of our new members.

The spring 2012 semester is clearly off to a busy start for UH Delta Gamma’s, but we always make time for the most important thing – philanthropy events, and reaching out to the community.  Not only does Delta Gamma support Service for Sight, we participate in many other fraternities and sororities events, as well as national events.

In February, 13 UH Delta Gamma’s participated in the national philanthropy event called “Dance On.” Dance On is one of 100+ Dance Marathon programs run by students at universities and colleges across the country. All proceeds from Dance On go directly to the local Children’s Miracle Network children’s hospital, Texas Children's Hospital. Dance On is present to create emotional support and financial awareness for the families.

Furthermore, Delta Gamma is already putting a team together to participate in Kappa Sigma’s annual softball tournament, which raises money for their philanthropy.  Profits from Kappa Sigma’s softball tournament will go towards their Military Heroes Campaign which was designed to honor and aid the thousands of wounded military veterans returning from active duty. The campaign focuses, in particular, on providing charitable assistance to the Fisher House Foundation, a segment of the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund that provides free housing to wounded veterans and their families throughout the duration of rehabilitation. 

In short, UH Delta Gamma’s are very active in the community and on campus.  DG’s anticipate a busy semester, filled with philanthropy events, social events and more.  We are dedicated to maintaining the vision of classy women, enriching our lives and the lives of those around us.
