Anchors Away
First up - let's learn about their foundation! Delta Gamma's national philanthropy is Service for Sight, helping those that are visually impaired, as well as promoting sight preservation and conservation. Chapters across the country help through volunteering, hands-on service, and fundraising. And the girls at WVU are no different!
Their major philanthropy event is Anchorbowl. A spin on the classic DG Anchor Splash, Anchorbowl is a campus wide flag football tournament to raise money for Service for Sight. It's also a great excuse to have fun with your sisters! Abby loved this year's Anchorbowl, saying that "cheering on the teams competing was so much fun and I can’t wait to do it all again next year!!!"
Besides their main event on Mountclair Green, Dee Gee also supports their philanthropy with other smaller events throughout the year. Slices for Sight and Desserts with DG are a couple of ways they raise even more money for the great cause, and they get to hang out with each other. A real win win :)

Sister Sister
The thing people are most excited to talk about when it comes to sororities - the amazing bonds you make with your sisters! Abby did not dissapoint in this category, raving about how incredible the girls in her chapter are. Whether it's late nights in the DG house, sisterhood events throughout the year, or hiking trips with your besties, it sounds like a pretty good time to be a Delta Gamma at WVU.
Their theme for Semi this year was Pearls and Poker, and it sounded like a huge hit! Abby said it was "one of the best formals I’ve ever been to" ... and how can you argue with that?? They danced all night long, singing all their fav songs together and having a blast. Now that's how you end a semester right!
Through sisterhood events, date parties, and even philanthropy events, you're able to make such tight bonds with your sisters. You may just have four years with them, but the memories will last a lifetime! Just take Abby's experience for example! That's definitely the truth for Abby, who DG is her home away from home. There's not better feeling than getting to hang out with your future bridesmaids everyday.

Ready for 2022
With a new year ahead, there are SO many things to be excited for at the Delta Gam house in Morgantown! Abby cannot wait to back in the house with her sisters, getting ready for events and sharing each other's clothes. What's better than 25 other closets to borrow things from??
This will be Abby's second year living at the DG house and she cannot be more excited. It's the best decision she's ever made - being able to live next door to all her best friends.
Besides moving back in, it's also time for Spring Recruitment!
While the event itself can be stressful, it's also one of the most exciting time of the year. Meeting girls from all different backgrounds is such a blast, especially when you get to introduce them to your sisterhood! Being on the other side of recruitment, you're able to appreciate how great your organization is and bond even more with your sisters.
We can't wait to see what 2022 has in store for the Alpha Xi chapter!
