Congratulations Audrey Roeder

One of our very own, Audrey, was Director of Parent's Weekend this school year. She planned and coordinated events such as Ring Day, Midnight Yell, All University Awards, and the newest event, Taste of Aggieland! At Taste of Aggieland, all were welcome to come taste various foods from restaurants around the College Station area. Even though it was the first year, there was a huge turn-out for this event, and it was a major success.

Audrey deserves a major congratulation because her event was named "SGA Program of the Year" for 2011-2012!

Audrey and her committee helped plan all of these amazing events this semester! The newest being "Taste of Aggieland"

Everyone in the BCS community, especially her Delta Zeta chapter, was amazed by the amount of work that Audrey put into Parent's Weekend!

It's That Time of Year - Formal

This past Saturday, April 28th, was our spring formal. Thanks to Kristen Singer's generous grandfather, we were allowed to hold the formal at the Miramont Hotel in Bryan. The doors opened at 8 PM, and shortly after that all of the beautiful Delta Zetas and their handsome dates arrived. At the formal, there was a dessert bar stocked with keylime pie, chocolate cake, and Italian cream cake. Not only was there music and dessert, but also, towards the end of the night, our yearly awards were announced. The awards ranged from "Best Big/Lil" to "DZ Dream Girl" to "Best Officer". The entire chapter got a say in who was awarded what, so it was really exciting to hear who won! What a great way to end the year.

A bunch of DZ's and their dates got together beforehand to enjoy a fancy dinner before the formal started

Congrats on Best Big/Little Mara and Jenn! Y'all deserved it.

Special thanks to our social chair Kaitlyn Bennett for planning this eventful night!

Delta Zeta's 5th Annual TURTLE TUG 2012

This spring semester, the women of Delta Zeta held one of our philanthropy events, Turtle Tug. Through the amazing leadership of Allison King, Ashley Maskus, Erin Loth, and Heather Luedeker, we were given the opportunity to donate all of the proceeds to help the Painted Turtle Camp. The Painted Turtle Camp is a camp located in California for kids ages 7 to 16 with serious illnesses.

Turtle Tug is a competition for teams of 4 to participate in. Each team is placed in one of the three brackets: all-girls, all-boys, and co-ed. This year we had over 23 teams sign up to compete, and at the end of the day, there were three teams that won first place in their respective brackets and went home with a basket full of prizes!

All of the participants were greeted by this hand-painted banner when they arrived the day of the competition

Our wonderful philanthropy chair, Jessica, excited for all of the festivities to start!

Our very own Delta Zeta team ended up placing 2nd overall in the girl's bracket! Way to go "Ninja Turtles"!

It wouldn't be a successful event unless someone left covered head-to-toe in jello!

Special thanks to our Turtle Tug chairs Ashley, Erin, Heather, and Allison! Y'all were awesome and you made this event such a success!
