Delta Gamma's priority is to foster high ideals of friendship, promote educational and cultural interests, create a true sense of responsibility, and develop the finest qualities of character.
Doing good since 1873.
Everything posted is meant to inspire, inform, and encourage friendship and community involvement.

You should take a bit of time and browse/shop the website Charm & Chain (charmandchain.com) as it was created by Ali Galgano, a Delta Gamma that graduated from Cornell. It was named in InStyle’s “Best of the Web” roundup for 2009 and was featured in USA Today, according to the Anchora.

The site is divided into several categories for easy perusing, and the offerings are from well-known designers such as Dannijo, Alexis Bittar, Gorjana, Kenneth Jay Lane, Citrine by the Stones and several more.

Some of my favorite pieces include:

Picture 1: ‘Frieda K’ necklace by Dori Csengeri

Picture 2: ‘Chloe’ ring by Gorjana

Picture 3: White resin cuff by Isaac Mizrahi (tickled that it looks like a shirt cuff)

Blind runner aims to raise $500,000 for several different charities

David Kuhn, runner

  • legally blind
  • 58 years old
  • Aims to raise $500,000 APIECE for 12 different charities
  • Will run 11,000 miles in 13 month’s time (that’s 30 miles per day)

According to David’s website explanation of why he contributes - and asks others to contribute - to so many charities is because each one that he donates to has greatly aided someone in his life in a huge way. He gives an explanation for specific instances when each charity helped those close to him on his website page, “Why run for so many charities?”

The most important reason that David runs is to raise money for cystic fibrosis research, as his granddaughter was diagnosed with the disease. David says that what he does pales in comparison to the battle that his granddaughter fights every day to stay alive.

The Daily Chronicle newspaper also reported that David has turned down job offers just so that he can continue to run every day and strive to raise the goal monetary amount.

This is an incredibly inspiring story. Current Delta Gammas and DG alumnae can absolutely volunteer their time or make monetary donations for this cause.

Not only should we be thankful for all that we have, but let’s start 2012 out by DOING GOOD in every way that we possibly can.
