Elaine Vidrine, our Director of Alumnae Relations tells a little bit about how GZ celebrated Founders Day!
Founder’s Day is one of my favorite events of the
year. It brings the chapter and alumnae together to remember why we are
all Delta Gammas and lets us celebrate the importance of our sisterhood. I was lucky to hold the position of
alumnae relations twice so I knew what I had to do and what new things I wanted
to try. Planning for Founder’s Day begins early in the fall semester, mostly just making
sure the venue is booked, the date and time are set, etc. It takes
organization and friends to help get everything done. Thankfully I had
Hope Whitsell and Savannah Gray to help me with a lot of the details!
This year Founders Day was extra special because Dell Shay Kingan, VP: Finance, was able to attend. When my mom told me last semester that Dell wanted to come to Baton Rouge and celebrate Founders Day with the Gamma
Zeta and the Baton Rouge Alumnae, I was excited and wanted to begin planning
and making sure everything was perfect. Having a council member come to
our Founder’s Day means a great deal to me. Delta Gamma Council members
enjoy visiting with alumnae and collegiate across the country but they can only
visit a few chapters each year. We are so fortunate that Dell was able to
spend the weekend with us, see our beautiful home, meet with our House
Corporation, and visit Mike the Tiger! Pictured below are this years award recipients, and mother/daughter legacies!
