Father Daughter Day 2013

"The Best Kind of Father Raises a DG Daughter"

 

Anchordads traveled to Harrisonburg today for our father daughter day planned by our VP Programming, Rachel Berry. They went to a place called "Back Home on The Farm" to go to a pumpkin patch, corn maze, and even pig races... yes  pig races! It is awesome that all of these dads were willing to drive from home just to spend the day with their daughters! Everyone had a blast and it was a great way for fathers to meet some of the women that their daughters are forever linked to, as well as, their fathers. Here are some pictures from the adventures today:

 

 

 

We can't wait for the next one! Hope you are getting all of your fall favorites in! Before we know it, it will be Thanksgiving, then Christmas, and then the start of a new year!

It's that time of the year again... Big/Little Reveal  !!

 

 

After a weeks worth  of basket giving, tricky clues, and sitting in piles of glitter in Delta Gamma basement, the day that a new member looks most forward to, besides initiation, is finally here...BIG/LITTLE REVEAL!!! This year we revealed on the quad again, but with bigs jumping out of cardboard boxes that they had decorated. It was truly a sight to see, especially because the sky decided to rain on us a little. Even through the rain, I have to say that it was one of the better reveals that I have been to in the past two years, and wish I was popping out of a box instead of being behind the camera. But that's what GBigs are for right?? To feel old, take pictures, and make sure everything runs smoothly to ensure the perfect night for our beloved new members. After reveal everyone went their own way, most likely to O'neils, formerly Hams, to get their delicious cookie skillets... and can't forget the bacon cheese fries! Hope y'all are enjoying that it is finally fall weather as much as I am! #LITB

 

 

 

 

Some of our sisters participated in the Dirty Girl Mud Run 5k this past Saturday (September 28th)  and had a blast! It's so great to get a group of sisters together to not only support a good cause but also work on their health at the same time! Way to go girls!

Recruitment 2013 was a blast! We loved meeting all of the wonderful women who went through our house! This year, we had our most successful recruitment yet with over 70 new members!! We love our new members so much and can't wait to show them what being a Delta Gamma at JMU is all about!! 

Our chapter has grown so much this year, and we couldn't be happier!!

Sisters of the Week!

Congrats to our sister Rebecca Tallent for being chosen as PR girl of the Week!



Another congratulations to our sister Katie Lentz for being chosen as the Sister of the Week! "I'd like to nominate Katie Lentz for sister of the week. Ever since her Little has been in the hospital, Katie has been there almost every day. She even spent the night there on Sunday so she wouldn't be alone. She's been bringing other sisters with her to make sure she doesn't feel lonely and has been sending her words of encouragement throughout the day to make her feel less afraid. I think this an amazing act of sisterhood and caring and this is why I want her to be sister of the week." Thanks for showing what sisterhood is all about Katie!
