Name: Andrea
Chapter/Year Initiated: Eta Fall 1999 (#1641)
Major: Early Childhood Education (Pre-K through 3)
Year Graduated: Spring 2004
Offices held: VP Membership, Member-at-Large HB, VP Member Education, Panhellenic President and PR, Order of Omega President, Rho Lambda VP.

Favorite DG tradition/event: Founder's Day, Initiation
Big/Little(s): My big's name was Stephanie, I have a "twin" named Lori, and 4 littles, Laura, Meghan, Anne, and Stacie. I also have 2 "adopted" littles, Laurie Ann and Ashley.
Silly awards given to you by your chapter: Biggest Flirt - 2000, Most likely to miss DG formal to go to a fraternity formal - 2002. We call them "paper plate awards" and usually give them out every year at formal. I missed 2002 because I went to Niagara Falls with the Sigma Nu's for their formal.
What you plan on doing within the next 5 years: I plan on teaching somewhere (hopefully in NC after this year), and/or getting my Master's degree in Higher Education Administration. I would love to get involved with the alum group where ever I am located and become an advisor and/or work in some aspect with EO.
Who influenced you the most in your chapter? my big's twin Cherie and my twin Lori.....they were my influences for getting more involved on campus and with Panhellenic.
If you could change anything, what would it be? I would have been more active during my first semester/year as a DG. I had a boyfriend who took up a lot of my time and felt that I didn't spend enough time at the house getting to know a lot of the girls.

What a great idea!!

Name: Carolyn "CJ" Moore
Chapter/Year Initiated: Eta Kappa Chapter _ North Carolina State University, Founding Sister (#50): November 17, 2002.
Major: Sociology and Elementary Education.
Year Graduated: Class of 2004 baby (Spring)!!
Offices held: director of e-communications.
Favorite DG memory(ies): Three stand out above the others...when my mom pinned me at initiation; when I met Andrea and Noreen and the other Eta girls at Akronl; and when my best girlfriend (and sister), Meredith, pulled me into the kitchen at the DG house before chapter one night and told me she got engaged...she told me before the candle pass because she couldn't hold it in. I will be her Maid of Honor!!
Favorite DG tradition/event: From a young chapter, there aren't as many set traditions or events...we held Anchor Splash(r) for the first time this year and it was a BLAST!!
Big/Little(s): My twin sister is Kristy D'Andrea and my lil' is Alison Lain Smith (Class of 2007).
Silly awards given to you by your chapter:Delta NERD!!! (it was such an honor!!) hehe.
What you plan on doing within the next 5 years:I'll be teaching elementary school in Wake County, NC. After of year of getting settled in my classroom, I'll pick up part time masters classes at UNC-Chapel Hill. Once I am done with my masters (approx. 3 years), I'll stop teaching and go full time working on my PhD. Then I'd like to teach at the University level.
Who influenced you the most in your chapter?Most in DG is my mom...but most in my chapter is my best girlfriend, Meredith Turnbull...but Season Hughes comes in a VERY CLOSE second.
If you could change anything, what would it be?I probably would have gone to more mixers...but when I joined DG, I was a junior already, and had a steady boyfriend...I didn't see the point in going to mixers as much...but it would have been fun. I also would have lived in the house...I didn't because I was a senior...but I'll never have that opportunity again. I should have done it.
