Tonight I got to go back to college. Well, not really, but I did get to go to Loyola and meet the active members of my sorority, Delta Gamma. I participated as a member of our chapter's (Epsilon Phi) alumni career panel. I have to say that to walk into the very room where I spent every Monday night for four years with my DG sisters brought back such amazing memories. I learned how to be my very best self through Delta Gamma.
Standing in the room with these amazing young ladies made me so very proud to call them my sisters. They were enthusiastic and energetic and engaged. They had bright smiles and eager spirits. I saw in them the same excitement I once had for everything that the future promises. And that's the thing... the best years of their life are still ahead. And it is more than likely that the women standing by their side as they experience all that is ahead will be the women standing by their side this evening.
Delta Gamma is an amazing thing. To her you give more of yourself than you even knew was possible, but what you get in return is priceless.
For me, it is a place I found I can always call home. A place I can always drop anchor. A place where I found myself. All these years later, it remains the place I wanna be.
I didn't know you were a DG!!! So exciting!!! I have high school friends in that chapter!!
ReplyDeleteGeaux Delta Gamma!! As you know I was a DG at LSU! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so great that you participated in the career panel! I bet it was fun to see the young active members!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right - all the women who have been with me through my 20s are Delta Gammas. It's definitely where I met my best friends. :)
We couldn't have been happier to have you! Thanks for all the great advice, its such an inspiration to see the strong, successful women Epsilon Phi has a history of producing!
ReplyDeletethat is great! I love being apart of a sorority. Same with me being a DZ :) Delta Zeta love it and call it my own home :)

I love your blog. Thank you for coming to chapter last night. It was really inspiring seeing the alumnae standing before us looking oh-so-powerful. I am graduating in May so it was encouraging seeing you all follow your heads and hearts.

Isn't it amazing how your sorority becomes such an integral part of you? I miss the days of being an active member so much. How fun that you got to go back and spend some time with your chapter!
ReplyDeleteWell it looks like most of the people commenting are also Delta Gammas, I am a Delta Zeta (alum) but couldn't agree more. You def learn a lot about yourself. Looks like we have similiar motos. With a turtle mascot, one of ours is "you always have a home no matter where you go." :)
ReplyDeleteHOw fun! I was my chapter was still open to be involved with. But for now I will enjoy being in the alum group for ZTA
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for coming to chapter last night! It was so interesting to hear all the different paths Epsilon Phi DGs have taken to success. You all are so inspirational. I'm also so happy to find your blog... I'm new to the blogosphere so it's nice to find a DG on here. :)
ReplyDeleteMy best friend is a DG at Loyola New Orleans and loves it!!!!!
