Founders Day 2009

As many DeeGees made their way up the hill to the Alpha Omega house in the rain, many memories were made. Many girls were still applying make up, practicing our songs, and laughing all the while. This day was a wonderful day that we will never forget.

The 2009 Delta Gamma Founders Day was such a success. This was an emotional day for many as well. Seniors begin to turn another page in their life as they graduate from college and sadly enough, Delta Gamma. Also, this day was the end of our lovely CAC Kate’s time with Eta Omicron. Several have developed a bond with Kate that we will cherish forever. Touring the Alpha Omega house was an enlightening experience that nonetheless made us a tad jealous of what we don’t have here at UA Fort Smith.

What an honor it was to sit next to the alumni of our wonderful organization—our sisters. Two 50- year members of Delta Gamma were present & received awards. It is amazing to see the deep heritage DG has & it gives us goals to work toward for our future.

A special thanks to all of those who helped organize and plan for Founders Day. VP Foundation Meagan Bowling did an awesome job. And thanks to her crew as well!

Our advisers worked so hard to make yesterday a success as well. All the work advisers often go without thanks. Eta Omicron truly appreciates what you all do for us continually. We dedicate the following poem to you.


Anchored in Appreciation
by Emilee Higdon

All the things you do
You do for the bronze, pink, and blue
To the anchor, honor you bring
A great example for us to be
In 1873 the founding ladies knew
Delta Gammas would be just like you
Eta Omicron could never repay
The ways you help us everyday
A sister we will have always
Our champion forever and today
