I
must say we have had a pretty amazing month here at DG Beta Psi.
On
January 7th the Crimson Tide won their 15th National
Championship. No big deal. If I had to guess, I would say that is definitely
the best way to start off a semester. ROLL TIDE! Some of our sisters were even lucky enough to
be there for the big game!
Here are some pictures from their trip!
As a
senior I have to say, three National Championships out of the four years I have
been in college has been such a wonderful experience!
Just
a few days later on January 9th we were lucky enough to have an up
and coming country music star from Alabama come perform just for us at chapter!
The
very handsome and sweet Aaron Parker stopped by to perform some of his own
songs, did some sing-alongs with us and even remixed one of our favorite songs
just for us.
You
can read his Sweet Caroline Delta Gamma remix or click on the link below to
enjoy it for yourself.
"I'm here with a
bunch of DeeGees
They're super smart
sweet and classy
A boy like me couldn't
go wrong
In their mansion here
in Tuscaloosa
Notre Dame was the
loser
The tide dynasty will
keep rolling on"
Aaron was brought to us because his
wonderful agent, Julie Behr, who happens to be one of our sisters from the Gamma
Chi chapter at Cal State Long Beach. Another quick thank you to Julie and their
whole crew! Y’all are welcome back anytime!
Now that Delta Gamma is ‘joining forces,’ Beta Psi is starting a partnership with the Lakeshore Foundation.
Lauren Lock,
Courtney Conklin and Alyssa Heffley had the pleasure of spending an afternoon
at the Lakeshore Foundation.
Based in
Homewood, AL, the foundation is dedicated to enable people with physical
disabilities and chronic health conditions to lead healthy, active lifestyles
through physical activity, sport, recreation and research.
Fun fact: their
campus is also a U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Training Site!
Throughout the
year they host Lima Foxtrot, a series of camps dedicated to impaired military
men and women.
In keeping with
Delta Gamma national philanthropy of sight conservation, the Beta Psi chapter
will specifically be supporting Operation Night Vision, a camp for military
veterans who were visually impaired while at war. Hosted every summer, ONV
is specifically
designed for injured military personnel with visual impairment or blindness.
Beta Psi will be
providing aid through financial donations as well as providing volunteers for
the camp. We are so excited to start working with them and DO GOOD!
