Spring Formal 2011
We completed our crazy Greek Week with everyone's favorite event... formal! This year we had our formal at Spotswood Country Club! It was classy, spacious and fun. We all danced the night away. It was a perfect way to spend one of the last weekends of the semester.

Sister Spotlight: Alexandra Smith!
Name: Alexandra Smith
Year: Sophomore
Initiated: Today!
Major: IDLS with a concentration in Special Education
Dream Job: After I teach for a few years, I really want to be either a elementary or middle school guidance coulselor
Other organizations: Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) and Habitat for Humanity
Favorite thing about JMU: I love how nice and friendly everyone is here! I love that no matter where on campus you go, you can almost expect someone to hold doors open for you and to just be friendly and smile at you when you pass by. It's such a nice feeling to be in such a welcoming environment and it is definitely one of the main things that made me want to come to school at JMU in the first place.
Favorite thing about DG so far: My favorite thing about DG so far are all of the amazing women in DG! I think that everyone are such nice and amazing people and I feel so lucky to be able to be a part of that and to just be able to have the privellage know everyone. :)
Looking forward to most: I'm looking foward to being initiated and becoming a sister the most! DG has such a great sisterhood and I'm so excited to officially become apart of it!
Fun fact about me: I have lived in 6 different states, 2 different countries, and have moved 7 times.

Senior Spotlight: Katie Cole!

| Katie Cole right after Tommy proposed! |
Major: Business Management
Dream Job: College Professor (Preferably at JMU)
Past DG Involvement: I was a Greek Sing dancer for the past two years! I joined DG my Junior year, so I don't have any formal leadership, but I love participating in all the events Delta Gamma puts on like sisterhood events, socials, and community service.
Other organizations/activites:
I have been an RA in both freshman and upperclassmen dorms. It's been very challenging, but it has helped me grow in my patience and responsibility.
I have participated in SGA since my sophomore year, and this year I am the Contingency Liaison. I helped organizations apply for contingency money to put on bigger and better programs. This year I was in charge of over $56,000.
I am also a member of the College of Business's Student Advisory Council. We meet with the Dean of the CoB every other week and participate in major changes within the school. This year we were able to put in the new market inside Showker.
PAST
Favorite Class at JMU: CoB 487, the capstone for all business majors. I learn so much in this class. We are constantly discussing current events and how they impact industry and business. Hands down my favorite class!
Favorite DG memory: It would be a tie between Recruitment and Greek Sing. Everyone who knows me, knows I love to perform, smile, sing, and dance. This year DG dominated in Recruitment and Greek Sing, and I feel all warm inside knowing I have contributed to DG's success.
Favorite Senior Moment: WHEN TOMMY PROPOSED!!!!!! My favorite senior memory is when my fiance Tommy proposed. He popped the question on the top of Reddish Knob, and he agreed to hold off on telling the world until I was able to do a candle lighting ceremony with my sisters! I can't wait to get married to my soul mate!
FUTURE
This summer I start grad school at West Virginia University in their College of Business's Master of Science in Industrial Relations and Human Resources. I will also be planning my wedding. I would love to come back to JMU DG to help out! I will only be 3 hours away! I would also love to volunteer my services to WVU's chapter of DG. I will definitely be coming back to watch Greek Sing! You know that scene in Mean Girls where Regina's mom does the dance in the audience while filming the talent show? That will be me!
What I love the most about Delta Gamma is the ritual. I joined DG for the values they exhibit and the sisterhood they share. All the t-shirts were just bonuses! I will continue to live the ritual by embodying courage, strength, and peace in everything I do. ITB!

Greek Week 2011!
This week, April 3-8, is the much anticipated Greek Week!
This year's theme is "Greek Week 2011: Is it in You?" and the symbol is the lightning bolt (similar to the Gatorade bolt).
We'll be busy all week participating in activities with our team. ΔΓ is working with ΦΜ, ΣΝ and ΚΑΨ!
We'll post pictures at the end of the week!
We're also looking forward to Formal on Friday, Madipalooza and the Northern Virginia Delta Gamma Alumnae Chilli Cookoff on Saturday and weekly chapter on Sunday!
