Famous DGs...Ever meet one?
 

I was wondering if anyone met any famous DGs... or has your chapter ever contacted one to come to your school? That would be awesome if they could and take time out of their busy schedules to come and talk to chapters!

Crashing your board! :)

I met a semi-famous DG...the Grand President (I'm not sure if that's how DG refers to them, that's what we call them in Kappa) spoke not only at my school to promote Rush, but at the 1998 Kappa convention. She had more energy than a roomful of toddlers, and she had a lot of great things to say.

Some of George Banta's relatives are trustees at my undergraduate college, and they own the football stadium (the Banta Bowl). Is he still alive? Just curious.

Mary Landrieu spoke at our Founders Day brunch a few years ago, however I have a sister who interned on Capitol Hill and when she met Mary my sister told her she was a DG as well and Mary kinda shrugged it off. A little disappointing.

Awww...
 

That is a bit disappointing... Thanks for sharing your story... And it's okay KappaStargirl...we're all friends here. :)

I have met Senator Landrieu on a couple of occasions and she has been nothing but gracious and absolutely charming. She loves Delta Gamma and has several DGs on her staff. I guess she was having an off day when she met that one sister. Capitol Hill is just crawling with Delta Gammas - there are several Congresswomen who are DGs. I think there are more DGs in Congress than any other sorority - it is great! Go Delta G!

SouthernDG,

Out of curiosity, who are the other DGs in Congress?? I didn't realize there were a lot!

Me and DeeGeePrincess Sort of Met Patricia Heaton!!! (plays ray's wife on everybody loves raymond)

We went to see the Finals for American Idol 1 and Patricia Heaton was there with her husband! Shes really pretty in real life!!!

Wow! You really have my interest in this DG's in Congress thing!
I knew about Mary Landrieu but who are the others??
Anyone?

okay so mine sorta has a twist to it...but i have worked down at disney world in the entertainment department for like the past 5 years...and a few years ago, i had gone to work wearin a DG visor...well i am mickey mouse down there and during one of our breaks...the girl who plays snow white and belle from beauty and the beast, etc...saw my visor and was like OMG you are a DG too?!? she is from missouri or mississippi i cant totally remember, but she is just the absolute sweetest girl ever!!! but she had brought in a photo album like a few weeks later to work of all her DG memories...and it was sooo awesome to see someone elses experience with DG and the similarities we have together! ...so yea not like FAMOUS FAMOUS buttttt...who says mickey and snow white arent famous? hah!

That is such a cute coincidence! I haven't met any famous DG's, but I do think it's cool to run into random people like that! I ALWAYS wear a DG sweatshirt or t-shirt when I travel. I was at the airport one time (while still a collegian) this older woman came up to me and said "I'M AN ANCHOR-CLANKER TOO!" We both had long layovers, so we sat at a coffeshop and chatted! It was really cool! You just never know where we'll find each other!

Sorry, if this got people off the subject!

For Big/Lil Revealing in the Fall we went to Disneyland and we kept running into DGs!!! Of course we were all wearing letters and the minute we got to the parking lot, ready to get onto the tramp....this older woman approached us and said: "I was a Delta Gamma in college too!!!!" She was there with her grandkids...it was cute! We all were totally excited!!!

Then, when we were on the trolly to get to the park, another woman...in her mid twenties said she was a DG at Long Beach I think, i cant remember!!!

Its just great to meet people at random who all share that special bond with Delta GAmma!!!!!!!

Btw, Revealing and Disneyland was AWESOME!!! Our PNMs loved it and they had sooo much fun!!!!

Delta Gamma is what you are!
 

DeeGeePrincess I am envious of your Disneyland experiences! Do you guys think its weird. Just when I read your post two of the ladies said I was a Delta Gamma. I wish everyone could see that unless you quit the fraternity if you are once a DG you are STILL a DG even outside of college! I AM a DG! Not WAS, AM! LOL Princess I'm not picking on you at all just wanted to point that out. If I see random DGs I'm all like I'm a DG! Then act all crazy! LOL Like when I ran to see AJ! But that's a different story! :) (well I didn't have to tell her I was a DG, she knew that long before we met!)

I dunno about other states, but in California (mostly Southern California)... DG is probably the biggest sorority (or most prominent)... Like, there are literally DG's EVERYWHERE. Like you go the store - you see a DG, you go to a mall - you go anywhere -there's a DG... It's pretty cool.

Delta Gamma Rocks SoCal!!!! weeweee!!

I love Delta Gamma!!!!
