Well, would you look at that!

We should all know by now that if my head weren't attached to my body, I'd forget about it... justtt like I have forgotten about one HUGE event that took place this spring semester! Delta Gamma Fraternity received the top award given to a fraternity or sorority, the Chapter Excellence Trophy. To receive this award, Delta Gamma had to excel in almost every single award category offered. This would not have been possible without being the amazing, dedicated sisters that we are! Yay for Eta O!

Alsoooo, our own president, Emilee Higdon, won the Greek Woman of the Year award as well! Sooooo, now we have a Delta Gamma as Homecoming Queen, Miss UA-Fort Smith, Miss International AND Greek Woman of the Year! It's great to be a DG!

Time to Catch Up!


Wow! So, who remembered that we even had a blog with how busy we were this past semester?! It went by so fast, but as the saying goes, "Time flies when you're having fun!" And, boy, did we have a fun semester! Let's do a recap of all the great events that have taken place...


This past semester was FILLED with snow days! I think about seven...? None of which were wasted, though. We Southern Belles got to experience what a real winter season is like!

Oh, and what about Homecoming Week? Delta Gamma did good and participated in many different events such as Yell like Hell, a banner contest, and wagon parade! The weather was not the best, but we made the best of it! And our own, Kaci Singer, got Homecoming Queen! Woohoo!


This semester we also had the annual Miss University of Arkansas Fort Smith pageant. Delta Gamma, Rebecca Wheeley did wonderful and won the pageant last year and had to give her crown up this year. Delta Gamma had five participates - alllllll of them did SUCH an amazing job and represented Delta Gamma SO well! Congratulations to all the girls who competed and a special congrats to our own, Sarah Davis, who won the pageant!


Delta Gamma welcomed a beautiful, new COB class this past spring semester. We couldn't ask for better baby DG's! We also had a spring initiation, it was awesome getting to see our new sisters learn more about what it's really like to be a Delta Gamma!




In March, Greek Life participated in Greek Week 2011. The theme was Around the World in 8 Ways. Delta Gamma selected the country of Jamaica! We all had a blast participating in events like quiz bowl, tug of war, and a tailgate filled with lots of yummmmmy food from all around the world! Overall Delta Gamma placed 4th, but Hayley Davis won Miss International! So, correct me if I'm wrong, but this means that the 2011 Homecoming Queen, Miss University of Arkansas Fort Smith 2011, and Miss International 2011 are ALL Delta Gamma's! It's been a great semester to wear the golden anchor!

We ended the year with semi-formal, which was so much fun! Kaci Singer and her crew did such an amazing job putting together the "Bow-Tie Ball"! There were cute bow-tie cookies, cute decorations, cute dresses, and cute boys in their bow-ties! Overall it was a good time for everyone! Anddd we voted Mr. Hunter K. Cabe from Kappa Alpha Order our Anchorman! Yay, Hunter!

So, overall, it's been a fun-filled semester for the ladies of the Eta Omicron chapter of Delta Gamma! Right now we're in recruitment mode trying to prepare for the welcoming of new, beautiful women in the Fall! We're going to try to update this blog a lot more often, so, keep checking back to see how we're doing! Hope everyone is having a happy and safe summer!:)
