11 Reasons You Should Go To Delta Gamma's Backyard BBQ

Not sure what to do with your Thursday night? Too broke to go out to dinner with all your friends? Really just want to hang out with some goats? If you said yes to any or all of these three questions, Delta Gamma has the event for you! Delta Gamma's Backyard BBQ is an annual event held in the backyard of the Delta Gamma House. There is food, music, dancing, raffles, games and much more! Come out to the Delta Gamma house from 6-9 p.m. on Thursday April, 5 to hang out and help raise money for a good cause!

1. Food

We all know you probably have no more than about $30 dollars in your bank account, for a mere $7 you can stop eating Ramen for once and get a real meal.

2. Dancing

It's not a true country event if there isn't live music and two-stepping, right? All dancers are welcome, even if you're as awkward as Drake in the new "Hotline Bling" music video.

3. Face Painting

Nothing says "Winding down from a test week" like having a tiger painted across your whole face. De-stress and get free artwork done from Delta Gamma. It's almost like getting a tattoo except your parents won't disapprove.

5. Dogs

Delta Gamma's Backyard BBQ isn't just for humans, it welcomes your four-legged friends as well. If you don't have your own dog, you can come hang out with 50+ other dogs.

6. Goats

Yes, you heard that right. There will be GOATS for your petting experience at Backyard BBQ. "I have a butt ton of pygmy goats (the cute colorful, little ones)... they are extremely photogenic and quite majestic," - actual quote from goat owner.

7. Service for Sight

100% of the profits made from Backyard BBQ go to charity. Delta Gamma is proud to serve DG's national foundation, Service for Sight. Service for Sight donates eyeglasses and helps children, adults, and veterans who have been affected by vision loss, eye trauma, or blindness.

8. Aggie Guide Dogs

While raising money for our national philanthropy, we also like to give back locally. A portion of the profits from DG Backyard BBQ will go to Aggie Guide Dogs, a student-led organization that trains service dogs for people who have vision loss or impairment.

9. Big Tex

Your favorite Texas State Fair celeb is rumored to be making a guest appearance at the event! Come for the food and friends, stay for the picture opportunities.

10. Raffle

For only $1 you could be the new owner of Spurs/ Rockets tickets, gift cards, and many other awesome raffle items!

11. Free DG Stuff

As if the raffle, food and goats weren't enough to get you here, there will be FREE DG promo items including tattoos, cups, t-shirts, etc.

If you come to Backyard BBQ we promise there will be furry creatures for you to pet, awesome stuff you can win, and delicious food to fill your tummy. What other reasons do you even need? See you there!

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
