The past couple weeks have been full of events and adventures for Delta Gamma. Beyond having our second date party, beginning preparation to be a part of not one but two philanthropies and participating in multiple sisterhood events, this month Delta Gamma has put an even larger emphasis on community outreach in the form of community service.
For the past couple years, Delta Gamma has grown a strong bond with a local Christiansburg woman, Louise. Louise is permanently blind and as our chapter’s philanthropic cause is to help fight off the struggles of being blind through Service for Sight we found it only appropriate to get to know Louise. As the years have passed, Louise has become an honorary Delta Gamma of the Delta Rho chapter and every day of the week a couple girls from our chapter walk with her to get her some exercise and keep her company. This week, Louise went into surgery and all of our chapter women have been keeping her in our hearts and minds and once she is out of surgery she will be consistently in the company of Delta Gamma ladies.
This week the chapter also celebrated Halloween with the town of Blacksburg. A large portion of the chapter participated in the annual Oak Lane Trick or Treat festivities to incorporate the community surrounding Virginia Tech. Also, the chapter participated in a trunk or treat festivity outside a local church to give back to the families that support Virginia Tech, as well as the chapter of Delta Gamma.
