hey ladies....i have a request that i hope you all can help out with. i chose to put this in here because, well, it is very much like a thorn.
on Tuesday Jan 30th, the Kent State DGs lost a wonderful sister named Alicia to cancer. Alicia battled with this disease for the last few years and the DGs were there to support her in so many ways. They held pancake breakfasts, participated in Relay for Life, etc. Alicia was very close to many of the seniors of the chapter and they are in the process of coordinating a memorial service for her on Friday night. Alicia was only 23 years old.
Well....it doesn't stop there. Last Wednesday (a week after we heard the news about Alicia), a current member of the chapter and one i am very close to was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. it was quite a shock for many of us because she is a very happy, healthy 21 year old woman. she served the chapter last year as VP Membership and was currently holding the position of VP Recruitment on Panhellenic. she has since had to drop out of school and resign from her campus offices.
the Delta Gamma's at Kent are really hoping to bring a strong presence at Relay for Life this year and want to raise as much money as possible in Alicia and Kelly's names. If anyone is interested in helping them in anyway possible or even taking this back to your alum groups, please PM me and let me know. I think it would mean a lot to these women to see that other sisters around the nation are there to support them also.
It's been a long road for these DGs and unfortunately Alicia's journey has ended, but Kelly's has just begun.....Thanks a bunch ladies....this really means a lot! LITB!
