Yayyyy, Hannah!

Our dear sister, Hannah McGowen, got engaged to her boyfriend, Blake Elliot, over the summer break! Hannah kept it a secret for so long, and everyone, including her big, Ashley Mitchell, was COMPLETELY surprised! I asked Hannah to tell us about to engagement and this is what she had to say:

Last Valentines day Blake had been hinting at proposing, but when the time finally came around he pulled out a candy ring pop! It was pretty funny, but I was frustrated, haha. So, this summer, we went to PCB and we had just eaten dinner with his family when he started complaining of a migraine. He left to go to "Walgreens" and I went to the beach with his family, and then we went to the pool at our resort. Blake came back and met us at the pool and asked me if I wanted to go for a walk on the beach. I told him I didn't really want to because I just got back from the beach. He begged and begged me to go with him so finally I gave in. We were walking on the beach and he was acting really nervous and fidgety! He started pouring his heart out to me and right when I think he is going to propose he pulls out a candy ring pop! At this point I am livid! Right as I am about to grab the ring pop and throw it, he opens it up and pulls a real ring out . It was perfect! The diamond was his Great Grandmother's, which makes me feel REALLY special

Congrats Hannah and Blake! We're all so happy for you and excited for another Delta Gamma wedding! Love you sister! ItB!

Favorite DG memory - During my first recruitment I was the Director of Recruitment Records and a member of EVC. We stayed late every night after everyone went home. We even went to Judy's (an alumni) house to complete EVC stuff because the janitors kicked us out. Our alumnis are the best! When we were leaving I accidentally said, "I love you, Mom." to Judy because I was so tired. On pref night we waited and waited for our list of new sisters, falling asleep, until Mia (another alumni) ran into the room super excitedly. Amanda Chavez, Rebeka Holyfield, and I grabbed the list screaming with excitement. The hard work from everyone paid off. We got every member we wanted! Because we worked so close together, Amanda and I became super close and now I couldn't imagine my life without her.
