Delta Gamma: Semester Recap


Wow! What a semester for Delta Gamma. This semester Alpha Omega had our 2nd Annual Anchor Splash, broke ground for our house coming fall of 2019, and celebrated our 145th Founder’s Day. Delta Gamma is “doing good” at the University of Arkansas and we are here for good!

Anchor Splash is a major fundraiser of Delta Gamma collegians where fraternities and sororities compete in swimming events such as 100-yard Medley Relay, Wet T-Shirt Relay, save a DG & Synchronized swimming! Fun Fact: Anchor Splash is one of the most recognized philanthropic fundraisers in the Greek community today. This year’s winner was Phi Mu Fraternity coached by my sisters, Victoria Guerra and Lindy Wagner. Victoria said, “Anchor Splash is a really fun opportunity to continue my love for swimming while giving back to Service for Sight. I love getting the chance to interact with other members in the Greek community. It was so much fun seeing Phi Mu get so hyped up and involved for a philanthropic cause that I am beyond passionate about!”



April 21st, 2018 was such a monumental day for Delta Gamma, Alpha Omega. We celebrated the groundbreaking of our brand-new house at the corner of Arkansas Avenue & West Maple Street! Vice President of Communications, Abby Evans, told us, “It was so amazing to finally break ground on our lot. This moment has been a long time coming and it was such a special moment to celebrate with our alumnae. I can’t wait for the doors to open in the Fall of 2019!”




In addition to our Groundbreaking, on this very special day Alpha Omega also received the lovely opportunity to celebrate Founder’s Day! Delta Gamma would not be where we are today without the love, hope, and passion for sisterhood from our three founders, Eva, Mary, Anna in 1873.  Alpha Omega’s President, Taylor Johnson said, “It was my privilege to speak on behalf of the Alpha Omega chapter! Our chapter will love this house as much as Texans love Texas and we thank the Greek Life community for all of the support! I am beyond excited to see DG make its mark once again on Maple Street!”



 
Delta Gamma is truly thriving here at the University of Arkansas. With this just being our second year on campus, we are definitely doing our part within the Greek community. From placing 2nd in Greek Sing to receiving the Award of Excellence at Order of Omega, we cannot wait to see what is in store for Alpha Omega in the coming years! #DoGood
