Founders Day




On March 10th Beta Psi celebrated their second Founders Day since recolonizing. This special day took on a Kentucky Derby theme with colorful hats, cream-colored rose cupcakes and a special visit from Rose Paris, granddaughter of Mary Comfort Leonard, one of Delta Gamma’s founders.

Rose was accompanied by her husband, son and daughter-in-law. She shared many remembrances she had of her grandmother. With the help of her son, she presented photos and antiques of her grandmother’s during her stories.

Rose is truly an incredible woman and we were very honored to have had her and her family at our Founders Day celebration!

We also recognized some of our sisters for their achievements in the chapter. The following is a list of awards and the girls that received them.

Dr. Judy Bonner Award - Alyssa Heffley
Anna Boyd Ellington Award - Rachel Bradford
Eva Webb Dodd Award - Meaghan Gregory

What made you want to run for this CMT position?: As a member of the Beta Psi chapter I felt that Delta Gamma had given me so much and I wanted to give back. The only thing I could think of that would allow me to give DG my all would be running for president. I wanted to serve our chapter because the women of Beta Psi deserve a leader that will give them their 100%, and will work as hard to make DG the best! I love my sisters and I honestly do not know where I would be without them. A favorite quote of mine is, "I fear I'd be lost at sea if it weren't for my anchor, DG."

Fun Fact about yourself: I can moonwalk, BUT only when Michael Jackson is playing!! :)
