Playing Catchup

After such a busy semester so far, it's a little tough to play catch up. But, just to keep you updated, here's a quick rundown since you last heard from us. 

Senior Farewell

Back in December, we said goodbye to some beloved seniors who were graduating a semester early. Though we're sad to see them go, we look forward to hear about all of their adventures out in "the real world."

Formal Recruitment

In January, we started preparing for the trials and triumphs of participating in Johns Hopkins's Formal Recruitment Process. With an overwhelming amount of girls signed up to go through recruitment, we were a little worried about making it through, but we managed to survive and find a great group of girls.

New Members

After intiation, the girls of MD Gamma were absolutely thrilled to welcome 60 (you read that right! SIXTY!) new baby angels! We had a great time at our Western Themed Bid Night, our night of Duck Pin Bowling and Karaoke, and the ensuing weeks chockfull of get to meet all the new girls!

Secret Week and Reveal

Everyone was so excited for secret week, but no one more than the littles. After a week of being showered with love, affection, and - most importantly - presents, the littles finally got to see their bigs in person at Reveal. 

Bigs wait for their littles to arrive for reveal!

Pink Party and Initiation 

After weeks of New Member meetings, hours of Greek Life Edu, and one trying New Member test, the babies were finally ready to be initiated! We wore our whites for prep, our pinks for Pink Party, and more white for Initiation and, finally, the pictures that come after it (the best pictures you'll get all year!).
