Letter from Recruitment Chair

Ahoy Potential New Members!

Congratulations on being accepted into the University of Denver, and I hope you have a very smooth transition into this new chapter of your life! Starting college is a big change and can be stressful at times. Here at DU it’s easy to find great clubs and organizations that are welcoming and make DU your new home. Be excited for yourself and this new journey ahead it truly can be the best four years of your life!!

My name is Bella Lorenz, and I am a rising senior at the University of Denver. For this next year, I have the honor of representing Delta Gamma’s Beta Chi Chapter as Vice President of Membership. During the fall of my freshman year, I joined Delta Gamma and was lucky enough to find my home away from home. DG has provided me with lifelong best friends, leadership positions, and the opportunity to learn valuable leadership skills I will use for the rest of my life! DG has instilled in me the importance of sisterhood, philanthropy, education, and so many other important aspects of society.  Recruitment is one of the most exciting parts of the year, and I know I can speak on behalf of the entire chapter when I say, “We are all very excited to meet you!”

Coming from all over the world, recruitment can be a scary and intimating experience. I want to assure you that there is nothing to worry about, and we at Delta Gamma could ask for nothing more from you than just being yourself! Recruitment is a time to let your interests and personality shine. Every woman in our chapter has a diverse background and interests that make us all so beautifully unique while being together as sisters and fighting for women equality as well as supporting our philanthropy. So just be yourself, because we want to know the real you!

Being a part of Delta Gamma allows women to develop leadership skills through many executive positions within the chapter. Another phenomenal part of Delta Gamma is the extensive alumnae network in Denver and more than 200 alumnae chapters across the country. Philanthropy is very important to us as we work closely with our organization, “Service for Sight.” We are honored to have funded the opening of the “Anchor Center,” a school for visually impaired children, right here in Denver! Having this school located in Denver allows us to do hands-on work that makes a noticeable difference in our community while also giving new meaning to our motto, “Do Good.”

Joining Delta Gamma has been one of the most exciting growth experiences that I have been a part of. I constantly see my sisters do amazing work both academically and personally, and they push me to be better in every way and support me in being the best version of myself I have been lucky enough to have made friends that I know I can count forever through all of life’s ups and downs. The Delta Gamma bond is for life, and opportunities within the sisterhood extend well beyond college. Delta Gamma has provided me with a deep desire to lead with confidence and inspiration while opening my heart to others around me.

Recruitment allows us in Delta Gamma to extend to you the vast amount of friendships, opportunities, and pride that we share in our organization. If you are contemplating participating in recruitment, I strongly urge you to give it a chance; you have nothing to lose. I want to leave you with the most useful piece of advice I was given, the best thing you can do during recruitment is be yourself and have fun while doing it, don’t stress over the little things no matter how big they feel, they will all pass when you find the Panhellenic organization that feels like home!

With Love and Excitement from the Beta Chi Chapter of Delta Gamma,
