"All Greek" Alumnae Event Tonight

The Baton Rouge Alumnae Panhellenic will be hosting its first annual "All Greek" alumnae event tonight (Tuesday, September 22nd) at 6:00 pm at Blend.  Tickets are $40.  The local alumnae of the 26 NPC sororities will be coming together to eat, drink and socialize. 

There will be some really great raffle items with all proceeds going toward the BRAP Outstanding Greek Scholarship to be awarded annually to an outstanding LSU sorority member. 

BRAP will donate to the local philanthropy (so for BRDG Alumnae Group LSVI)  of the alumnae group with the most attendees.  As of now, based on online ticket sales, Delta Gamma is currently in the lead! 

So if you do not already have plans tonight please join BRAP to help makes its first annual event a success and Do Good for LSVI.

Gamma Zeta Career Night

The Gamma Zeta chapter will be hosting their annual Career Night on Tuesday, September 29th at 7:00 pm in the LSU Union Ballroom and would like our help.  The night is divided into two parts.  First, the collegians will be hearing from a guest speaker and, second, they will engage with alumnae in small-group discussions according to their major or intended career path.  This 30-minute, informal conversation is often cited as the collegians' favorite part of the night since the alumnae can provide career advice and help answer questions.  

Alumnae needed for the following majors/career paths:

  • biology (pre-med, nursing)
  • engineering
  • communication disorders
  • elementary education
  • kinesiology (PT/OT)
  • marketing
  • mass communication (PR)
  • political science, history (pre-law)
  • psychology/sociology

If you would like to help the collegians or have questions about the event, please contact our president-elect, Lindsay Chustz Guerin, at lindsayg@lmfj.com.

Upcoming SIG Events

Wee Dee Gee Event - Trick or Treat Down the Row
Sunday, October 25th


Our Wee Dee Gee event this fall will be Trick-or-Treat Down the Row. A fun event for our alums to bring their little legacies and anchorman! Come join us for treats and more at the DG house during the event. More details to come.

Active Anchors Event - SJA Sticker Stampede
Saturday, October 31st


This fall for our Active Anchors, we will be participating in the St. Joseph’s Academy’s Sticker Stampede - benefiting the SJA Alumnae Scholarship. Many DG collegians and alumnae are also SJA alumnae and what a better way to promote Delta Gamma to legacies and future members than participating in the 5K and 1 mile fun run! This year, our captain is Morgan Simpson (GZ ‘11 and SJA ‘11). More details regarding registration for the DG Active Anchors team to come.

Thank You from the Gamma Zeta Chapter

The Gamma Zeta chapter thanks those of you who baked cookies and/or attended making the first ever Alumnae Milk and Cookies Meet and Greet a huge success!  The chapter had a long first day of recruitment so they were excited to see us and of course eat our delicious cookies.  The girls are still talking about how special they felt with our support.  As a group, we baked over 600 cookies! Thank you again for continuing your lifelong commitment to Delta Gamma.

Gamma Zeta Welcomed 103 New Members

The Gamma Zeta chapter at LSU had another successful recruitment welcoming 103 new members on bid day.  Congrats Gamma Zeta!

Do Good Week 2015
 

Thank you to everyone who helped make the 2015 Do Good Week a success. On Tuesday evening, we raised approximately $250 for LSVI at our Bistro Byronz event thanks in part to the patronage of both DG alumnae and students and faculty from LSVI.  DG alumnae also made a craft for the LSVI students and wrote thank you notes to our vets to be mailed out in connection with Veterans Day.  On Thursday evening, we had over 20 women in attendance (both collegians and alumnae) at our first ever Active Anchors event which was hosted at the Gamma Zeta house.  We are so happy our members were doing good for themselves last week in addition to doing good for others in our community.  We cannot wait to share all the awesome Do Good week photos with you.  Be on the lookout on our social media - Facebook, Instagram and Website.
 

Five Stars to Alumnae Success Award for the BRDG Alumnae

The Baton Rouge Delta Gamma Alumnae Group was awarded the Five Stars to Alumnae Success Award. The alumnae group earned this award by providing exemplary programming for our area alumnae in the categories of sisterhood, membership, community, foundation and networking.  We are very excited that our President, Melissa Thompson (Gamma Zeta, 2002), will be accepting this award on our behalf at 2016 Convention.
