This is so touching. I have a lump in my throat reading that. What a thrill for you and all the Beta Psi alumni. Congrats to Delta Gamma and to the classy Panhellenic group at Bama.

Hey! You weren't there for the rehearsal!
But we'll work on it!:p

My daughter called today and said campus was covered with new memebrs in their DG jerseys. They were everywhere!! Several of her friends from class pledged, and these were girls who had not previously gone through recruitment.
So happy for all these new members, and glad they have that DG pride. You seldom see girls wear their pledge jerseys after bid day.

You have no idea how this warms my heart. I remember taking a tour of National during the 84 Convention in Columbus, and seeing the Beta Psi grandfather clock, and hearing our tour guide say "We're just giving it a temporary home until it goes back to Tuscaloosa one day".

Makes me tear up.

And you better believe that clock's coming back!

I am going to have to stop reading this thread ~ I get to weepy every time.

Delta Gamma, welcome home. The big anchor was in front of the house during my time there - I hope someone still has it. I know three of the new pledges - one is my very favorite PNM from Charlotte. I'm so happy for all 224!! Congratulations from Zeta Tau Alpha.

Great article.

I just had to add something here. I walked a very special (to me) PNM through recruitment. She called me after she got her pref list. She liked two of them and didn't like the third. I tried very hard to get her to keep an open mind and put all three down. She refused and only included two. She did not get a bid, but she handled it well.

Luckily, I had been reading this board and was well versed in the DG recolonization. I sent her an email and suggested she look into this. She did and she is now a DG pledge. Thank you ladies for making this information available.

Delta Gamma, you did good:)

Aww, that made me tear up...:)

Today at the nail salon, I was sitting next to a Bama mom who was talking about how much her daughter loves the school and her new sorority.

I asked her where her daughter pledged, like I'd ask any mom in this situation. I've asked tons of moms this question over the years...

But this was the first time I got to hear "Delta Gamma" as the answer from the mom of a Bama girl! :)

how neat!!

Thank y'all so much!

And the anchor was sent to another chapter - up north (don't want to call them out!) Getting it back since it's cemented into a patio is a little problematic....but we shall see. The clock is the most important thing to us (Tiffany moon face !)

I think I know where it is, but maybe it is a common feature of DG houses?
