On behalf of the Alabama Panhellenic Association, I want to invite you to come celebrate the colonization of Alabama's newest sorority, Delta Gamma. For the last two years, Delta Gamma has been planning their return to the Capstone. For the last two weeks, they have met with hundreds of interested students about Delta Gamma membership. They will host their preference parties on Saturday evening and on Sunday morning, DG will officially become part of our Panhellenic Community as the celebrate their Bid Day.

Delta Gamma Bid Day will happen at 10:00 am this Sunday morning, August 28th at the Walk of Champions in front of Bryant-Denny Stadium. I want to encourage our entire Greek community to become part of this historic event. Our support of this new chapter will be an important part of their success, and I hope you can join us in welcoming them to the University of Alabama.

Roll Tide,
Ashley Getwan, President
Alabama Panhellenic Association
First I've seen of that. I thought it would just be us DGs. Thanks for posting, ADPi Diamond.

Mike's a daddy. I know him from another board. Hi Mike! (waving from across the quad).

My hometown rec girl attended pref today for DG. I am so excited for her. She is a great girl and I would be happy to have her as a sister, even though seperated by over 30 years. I texted my own daughter at UA to tell her about bid day tomorrow, just incase she doesn't check email over the weekend. Thanks for the heads up on that ADPi diamond.

I'm sure the errors are mine. My computer has a virus and I am typing on my iPad...I thought I had noted this when I went in and edited some errors. I had to type out the email due to me not knowing how to copy and paste on iPad. I would type five or six words and then go back to the email, read more and back to GC to type some more...I have tried to go back and correct my mistakes...I'm sorry I shared as my errors should be no reflection on UA and Ashley Getwan.

It was very charming when Alpha Phi turned their colonization pref into the bid party. The pictures were adorable. If DG is inviting other community members to bid day, then I guess they've come up with a different sort of surprise.

Either way, stop asking nosey parker questions.
