love bring me up Higher Love bring me a higher love Dy as a chapter is not only just the four walls that surround our house but it's all of our personalities and members that make it what it [Applause] is this chapter would not be the same if it weren't for the 340 girls I get to call sisters Daisy has definitely brought me sisters that I know I will take into the future with me I'm even going to graduate school next year and I'm living with the DZ and I'm just so thankful for the friends that has brought me and the connections I've [Music] made Daisy has influenced my college experience over the past 3 years just helping me grow just personally a lot surrounding myself with absolutely incredible women that are pushing me to just have more fun and just be a better person overall I grew up with a lot of sisters so I've always been around like a lot of different personalities being around somebody you kind of like adapt these type of like qualities that they have and Ruby is she's just amazing she's so friendly she's so attentative like she'll just sit there and like let you chat even when she has everything else going on in the world so like when you have people like Ruby to like help you through that they're kind of like stuck like they're like a part of your life and you can't get rid of them and I would never I would never get rid of Ruby I would never get rid of any of my roommates they're amazing I've never felt more comfortable with the group of girls than I am here she's a magnetic person to be around and I love [Music] [Applause] [Music] her Dey is definitely brought me the closest friend group that I've ever had and has shown me like what a true friendship is shoulder to cry on or someone to laugh with I would not have traded it for the world I'm just so blessed that I've been able to make friendships that not only go past the four walls but the four years and I get to watch those friendships being made every [Music] day just to come in and be a DZ and get my lifelong friends immediately freshman year is like the greatest thing that I could have imagined and I'm just so happy to be friends with you guys a [Music] [Applause] [Music] although we have 340 current members here in Athens we also have an Alumni network that stems from coast to coast from all over we had so many women who have come through this chapter alone and gone on to do incredible things I just think it's so exciting to see all these wonderful women that have gone on after DZ and accomplish so much we have so many events that allow the women to come back and give their advice and their support and really help the Collegiate members to go on and make changes and differences in the world just like they did I've met people that I never thought I would because of this chapter on a professional and business level when we host our alumni events I met people working in Charleston and all of the places that I want to go one day and they said we've got you if you ever come out there like reach out to me and so now I have a network of over 900 plus people who were Zeta pies here at Delta Zeta and I now have resources and Outreach that I never would have [Music] had there's so many different ways to get involved here with IND DZ not only do we have an executive board that consists of anything from Finance to risk to academics or recruitment but we also have a cabinet where you can help facilitate and plan our events for all of our chapter anything from sustainability to Sisterhood we pretty much have it all we also have diversity including and belonging we also have Banner chairs who help make our house so beautiful for all of our events we also have members who plan our parents weekend where we get to bring our parents here to Athens and show them how amazing our DZ chapter is on our executive board we also have a vice president of academics she helps our girls succeed in their four years here at the University not only does she she hosts lots of study sessions with ample snacks but she also has split us up into major groups where we're able to be around girls who are going through the same things as us and also studying with us this year we also introduced a new position onto our executive board our mental health and member accountability chair it's her job to be there for all of our members and support them through whatever they need college isn't always easy and I'll be the first to tell you that freshman year is hard but DZ provides ample resources for our members to make sure that members are able to do the best they can with all all the obstacles that college has to throw at [Applause] [Music] them lots of our members are involved in outside organizations outside of our Delta Zeta chapter you can find us all around campus anywhere from real to Miracle to the guide dog Foundation where we're actually raising Delila in house to hopefully be a seeing eye dog one day joining the guide dog Foundation has been an incredible experience for me and I take pride that so many of our members were willing to get involved as well we have so much fun bringing the dogs around the house getting to play with them and more importantly to let them play with each [Music] other anything from date night to Sisterhood to sustainability we have it all covered here in DC you can find your role and your place here within the chapter whether that's on leadership or not [Music] I take so much pride in knowing that our chapter opens our arms to every member through every Walk of Life if we have any Legacy going forward that I just hope it's one of just open doors for anybody who comes through to feel loved on and encouraged and just so appreciated here at DZ the memories I've made and the friendships I've fostered are something I will keep with me for a lifetime from all of us at DZ to you welcome never had it so good you never had it so [Applause] [Music] good good
