Hey DGs!!

How are you doing? The DG's over here at UC Riverside (Theta Lambda Chapter) are doing an Anchor Splash Soon. Can someone please give me some background on what this is? I would greatly appreciate it.

Lambda Chi Loves Delta Gamma at UC Riverside and all over!

hey hey SniffDZN...im a DG wayyyyyy over here at the Univ of North Florida

i saw your question and thought id try to explain a little to ya about what anchor splash is...although im sure some of the events are a little different for each chapter at each school. basically, anchor splash is our annual fundraiser to raise money for our philanthropy...service for sight!! during the week there are different events for everyone to compete in...a Most Beautiful Eyes Contest, where we take a picture of someones eyes from each team and paste them on a milk jug and then the teams go around campus trying to collect the most money...and whoever has the most money wins Most Beautiful Eyes...we have a banner contest...etc. then, the final day of anchor splash...usually on a saturday, is the MAIN EVENT

we go to the pool on campus...and hold a bunch of relays for the teams to compete in and the final event is a VERY VERY VERY entertaining synchronized swimming competition...especially when you have a fraternity so delicately swimming in the water haha! but the relays...they usually are like swimming with one person in a tube and the others pushing...or...swimming one length of the pool with a t-shirt, getting out and having to take the wet t shirt off and switch it on to your partner and havin to swim back the fastest....and then just some other basic relays, but i think thats the best DAY of it all! and its all for a good cause! i know we have done this once...and so have other schools...but there is also Anchor Slam...which is also TONS OF FUN (moreso because i LOVE basketball)! its the same idea...except, its a basketball tourney instead of the swimming relays...WOW this is a flippin long post, but i hope i helped ya out! and good luck with anchor splash!
DG LOVE,

Anchor Splash is basically a "Fun Swim Meet" where fraternity teams and sorority teams will compete in fun swimming relays and it raises money for philanthropy too. Some of the relays that I have seen are you have to swim a length in a rugby shirt (you put it on over your bathing suit), then the next person takes it off you and puts it on. Believe me, it is not so easy when it's wet!!

There's other "silly relays" too, although I can't think of any right now!

Ohh okay. Thanks for the information DG's! I remember someone took a photo for the Eyes contest, but I am not sure what else is going on. I will be updated soon as I have a good friend in DG. Much love to you DGs from Lambda CHI!!!

should i introduce myself? UCR DG's may remember me. I was the shaky Lambda Chi Dude that gave you the pictures, Anchor Splash and Can Build stuff at your meetinga few weeks ago

DeltaGammaRocks · #12 05-21-2003, 04:29 AM

I wasn't at that meeting, but we know who you are!~ you're joys friend

SniffDNZ098 · #13 05-21-2003, 04:51 AM

alright i guess everyone in your chapter knows me :blushes: I think Michelle is stalking me, especially if she wasn't at meeting the day I was there...Hmm.....LOL j/k :-D

Back to topic...

Does all the proceeds from Anchor Splash go to the organization of the chapters choosing or does it go to one main place?

For Example, Lambda Chi's Philanthropy is the North American Canned Food Drive, but each individual chapter takes to a different place. Last year we donated our food to the local Salvation Army. I know that others may take it to other chapters such as the Red Cross and such.
