Question for DGs

[AritheDG]

As far as I know, New Members are not allowed to wear the greek letters until they are initiated.

That could be a sentiment expressed by a chapter (or chapters) and so to avoid rocking the boat, I say this:

DZHBrown, my advice would be, perhaps err on the side of caution and stick with stuff that says "Delta Gamma" in full, and stuff with anchors on it, the Hannah doll (Raggedy Ann)....etc. Once she gets initiated, you can get your cousin lots of other DG stuff, including the Greek letters!

Thanks everyone! I'm going to the Greek store in Nashville this week. I'm excited to shop for her and I'm sending her some cream colored roses tomorrow. That is the correct flower...right?

[VandyDG]

Yes, cream roses!

I assume you were referring to You Greek, Me Greek on West End? Since you would be so close, I would also suggest going to The Hanger. (The shop recently relocated to Park Place Shopping Center a block or so up from You Greek, Me Greek, by Boutique Bella.) The owner makes a lot of the sorority items herself and always has really cute things!

That is not correct. New Members can - and usually do - wear the letters. Quite a few get letter jerseys for Bid Day gifts. They are given at several chapters I work with.

As a UGA alum I am totally pumped to hear the chapter pledged 42 girls - the pics are awesome - such beautiful new members! So I was just checking in to see how it was going and what the latest numbers were? Is there was anything we could do - a little something special for the girls - Aunt Hannah kind of stuff? Who could we direct our interest towards - is Blitch Ann Bird still with the chapter as an advisor?

VandyDG - Thanks for the suggestion on The Hanger! I'm excited to check it out!! She got her beautiful cream roses this morning! She was definitely surprised!

I've heard this from a number of collegiate chapters, but it is something that EO/int'l leadership is trying to eradicate.
