MSU Delta Gamma chapter hosts annual Founders Day event 

The Delta Omicron Chapter of Delta Gamma (ΔΓ) at Morehead State University maintains its goal of creating lifelong friendships by bringing active student members and alums together for its annual Founders Day event. The organization hosted the event at the Adron Doran University Center (ADUC).  

The Delta Omicron Chapter collaborated with the MSU Alumni Association to host the event. The festivities started with a welcome ceremony led by MSU Delta Gamma Chapter President Daisy Pratt and MSU alumni Debbie Mihalik (Class of 1983). What followed included a luncheon with two different memorial ceremonies and an update for alums and student members to keep a strong connection within the campus women's fraternity.  

"Founders Day combines my two favorite things: Delta Gamma and the MSU Alumni Association. I had the privilege of experiencing my very first ΔΓ Founders Day as an alum," said Allie Rayburn (Class of 2022), coordinator of digital engagement and annual giving at MSU. "Seeing this event from the alumnae perspective made me so much more appreciative of the bond of our sisterhood and the connection we all share for good ole MSU. It's never too soon to become engaged with the MSU Alumni Association."  

Leading up to Founders Day, the MSU Alumni Association hosted its annual 24-Hour Challenge, where alums are encouraged to donate to MSU. ΔΓ sisters celebrated early by representing their chapter during the challenge.  

Both active members and alums collectively raised $1,520 to support the Delta Gamma Book Scholarship, established last year, through the giving challenge.  

Delta Gamma has over 250,000 initiated members in the United States and Canada, with 150 collegiate chapters. MSU Delta Gamma - Delta Omicron Chapter was founded on April 1, 1969.
