Gamma Zeta's Career Night

Every year Delta Gamma holds a Career Night for the chapter to help us plan for our future. This year our director of alumnae relations, Emily Annaloro, tells about her experience planning, holding, and organizing every aspect of the 2013 Delta Gamma Career Night:

Career Night has always been a great way for Delta Gamma collegians to meet more alumnae. This year, we had twenty alums help with our small groups. Melissa Thompson, vp: membership of the Baton Rouge Delta Gamma Alumnae, helped me find these wonderful women. Without her help I could not have accomplished all that we did. The hardest part of career night was placing the collegians at the correct tables. I had trouble figuring out a few chapter members’ majors so unfortunately they had to be placed at a random table. Once they got there, they sat at the table that fit their major and everything went smoothly!

Another idea that we focused on for a portion of the night was StrengthsQuest. It is an online test to see what a person’s top five strengths are. With 34 different strengths, no two members have the same five in the same order. We then had Bill Mattera from LSU’s department of Residential Life, Rachel Spencer from LSU’s Campus Life department, Teresia Greer from the Greek Life office, and our own ATC Emily Hester to speak to each pledge class. By separating the pledge classes, the interactive speeches could be tailored to fit exactly what each grade needs to hear. The seniors spoke about how to apply their five strengths to their careers and practiced interviews while the new members used it to bond with their new sisters.  

The most rewarding part was receiving so many thank yous from the alums and chapter members for putting it all together. The alums loved getting to know the collegians and we always love having the alums around to give advice and insight for the future. I also loved being able to share my first big event with my sister Marissa who is a member of the 2006 pledge class. It was awesome to have her there to experience our first collumnae event together! The alumnae always have such great advice for us and I find it important that we get together once a year to make sure we are on the right track. It is nice to have someone who was once right where we are now who can tell us mistakes to avoid, classes to take, or how to boost our resumes. It is also a great way for us to make contacts with alumnae who could potentially be our co-workers or bosses one day. Other great opportunities for alumnae and collegians to meet one another are our monthly Sisterhood Supper Club dinners. Alumnae should look out for an email to sign up to come!

Below is a list of all the alumnae and friends of DG that helped us out so much! Thanks to all of you again!

DG's in Dallas!

This Labor Day weekend was LSU's first football game! They started off the season playing in the Cowboy Classic against the TCU Horned Frogs. Although Dallas is a good 7 hour drive, this did not stop LSU fans, or the ladies of Delta Gamma, from traveling the distance! While we were all there to support our Tigers in their first game this season, it was also a great opportunity for sisterhood bonding! Sophomore Kaitlin Sepulveda, whose house is located 15 minutes from the stadium opened her house up and had around 20 sisters staying with her. "Having girls stay at my house was possibly the best college experience I've had so far! All the girls were so respectful and fit right into my home, and we all got a closer which I didn't even know was possible! Plus, my family didn't want them to leave!" says Sepulveda on having the girls over. Below is a picture of all the ladies who stayed with her.

The tailgating was no joke either! LSU fans were just as prevalent at Cowboy Stadium as they are right at home! Purple and Gold tents were set up all across the parking lots, easily out numbering the horned frogs. Geena Marano, a sophomore DG who traveled to the game was amazed with the fan base in Dallas. "It's crazy to see how dedicated LSU fans are, picking up and showing support wherever it's needed, even if it's 500 miles away! In a stadium as large as Cowboy Stadium you can still easily spot the sea of purple and gold." said Marano. Below is Marano and friends throwing up the Gamma outside the stadium before the game started.

The game, although closer than many LSU fans felt it should've been, was a great match up! With the Tigers giving us all a worry being just a few points ahead of TCU the entire game, came out on top with a 37-27 win over the frogs. "It felt so good to get back into the football spirit, singing all our cheers and rooting the Tigers to a victory." said Sophomore DG Victoria Waguespack. Below, a picture of Waguespack and Scarlett Myers, also a Sophomore DG, in Cowboy Stadium.

Overall, the ladies of Gamma Zeta who traveled to the game had an amazing time bonding with their sisters and seeing the LSU tigers start off the season right! "After this weekend I cannot wait for the rest of the season!" said Marano, "football season is truly the best time to be a Tiger!".

Welcome Home!

Gamma Zeta welcomed 99 new members on bid day! We are absolutely CRAZY about them and cannot wait to show them what it means to be a Delta Gamma! These women are from all over the country, with girls from New Jersey to Colorado, and right down the street from Baton Rouge to New Orleans. Each and every one of them is AMAZING and we couldn't possibly be happier to have these women in our Delta Gamma family! Below is a list of all 99 of them and their high school!
