Letter from Recruitment Chair

A letter from our vp: membership, Charlotte Siegel

Dear Potential New Members,

Going to NYU was always a dream of mine. I was so excited to come to the city and truly grow into my independence and adulthood. But what no one tells you is how hard it can be to make the city truly feel like home. When I arrived on campus, I was immediately met with a slew of clubs and events aimed at building community and I knew that joining Greek life was the one that interested me the most.

During the first round of recruitment, I had a gut feeling that Delta Gamma was where I belonged. I had met the kindest and most genuine women, women who were different in their own way but came together to form a family. Over the next few days of recruitment, I continued to bond with my future sisters and I knew that DG would be my home. After I received my bid to Delta Gamma, I went out for coffee with a group of my new sisters, and immediately found in them what had been missing in NYC for me.

Needless to say, joining Delta Gamma has completely transformed my college experience. DG has given me some of my best friends, the most amazing memories, and countless opportunities for growth and leadership. And there’s the little things too – whether it’s movie nights at a sister’s apartment, studying in Bobst, getting brunch with my big and my little, or picnicking in Central Park, my sisters are always there for me and just one call or text away. Since the moment I joined, I never felt like I had to hide any part of myself and I knew that these women would always have my back. The impact that DG has had on my life has been immeasurable and I am immensely grateful to be a part of this wonderful sisterhood.

I am so honored to be given the opportunity to serve as VP: membership for 2024. My sisters are the ones that cheer me on during the highs and comfort me during the lows, and I would not be the person I am today without their love and support. I am so excited to watch our organization grow and help other women find their place at NYU the way I did! Delta Gamma is exactly the “home away from home” that I was looking for, and I am confident that our PNMs will be able to find their lifelong sisterhood within Eta Phi too! I can’t wait to meet all of you!

With love,

Charlotte Siegel
