Welcome to the Winner’s Circle! 

Delta Gamma is going back to back! Sigma Chi held their annual philanthropy event called Derby Days this April. Every sorority on campus is invited to compete in several challenges to fundraise money for the Alabama Children’s Miracle Network. The sorority that wins the most events and has the highest cumulative total will receive bragging rights and… $1,000 towards their philanthropy. This year, Delta Gamma was the only sorority to place in EVERY Derby Days competition! In the end, our hard work payed off as DG won FIRST PLACE and was awarded $1,000 for Service for Sight!

Senior Send Off

As our 2016-2017 year came to a close, we had to say tons of hard goodbyes to the women who have so greatly shaped and impacted our chapter. In our transition ceremony, our seniors spoke about their best memories in our sisterhood and what Delta Gamma truly means to them. They announced their “senior wills” and passed down sacred, memorable items to younger sisters. We are so proud of our seniors for their hard work and dedication. Our sisters will be moving to locations all throughout the world and taking on their dream jobs with the strongest support system of sisters located in the heart of dixie.

Song of the South

The best date party of the year is our last! Delta Gammas and their dates dressed up in country-themed costumes and danced the night away to a live country band at a local Tuscaloosa venue. Our sisters and their guests sang “Sweet Home Alabama” on the top of their lungs all night long as the end of the year came quickly after our amazing date party. Shout out to our social events team for making this year’s annual Song of the South unforgettable!

Lake Day!

If your sisters jumped off of a cliff would you?! Well… In this case, yes! Our sisters loaded up in cars and headed to Lake Nicol to enjoy the beautiful Alabama weather in the best way possible. Some girls tanned, others floated in the lake, and majority took a leap of faith off the cliffs. With DG sisters, anything is possible.
