Over the summer, all the KU Delta Gammas spent countless hours crafting and preparing for the newest members that they would welcome during this year’s fall formal recruitment. The ladies moved back to Lawrence and into the DG house on August 5^th, and work week started promptly at 9am the next morning. They spent hours every day preparing to recruit the best pledge class yet by perfecting the skit and porch songs until late every night.

            Fall formal recruitment was held from Tuesday, August 14^th, through Friday, August 17^th, with bid day being held on the first day of school, August 20^th. Over the weekend, the sophomores created their bid day hats for their buddies, a DG tradition. Once the women going through recruitment were able to open their bid cards after a long hour of sitting on top of them, chaos broke loose. The DG’s were waiting anxiously outside for their new sisters with the hats and posters they had created. Some new members even cried because they were so happy to be a part of the KU DG sisterhood. All the ladies took bid day pictures and tie dyed out on the front lawn, followed by a pizza rolls and chicken fingers dinner provided by the wonderful new Delta Gamma chef, Mr. Jolly.  

            Fall formal recruitment has given the Delta Gamma Beta Kappa chapter 46 wonderful new women to become part of the sisterhood. The newest members have already started coming over to the house for meals, spending time with their bid day buddies, and meeting the other new members.  Thanks to DG, these girls have a lot to look forward to this year including serenades, initiation, holiday parties, formals, sisterhood events, and countless other functions that they will be able to get to know their new sisters at.
