Persistence

With exams coming up, we here at Phi Gamma Delta wish the best of luck to everyone on their final examinations!
Here is a motivational and inspiring quote by brother Calvin Coolidge:
“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination are omnipotent.
The slogan Press On has solved, and will always solve the problems of the human race.“
Once again,...

Here the us FIJI’s teamed up with the Ladies of Delta Gamma (Team DIGI) dressed up in their costumes, and walked along several routes asking houses for food donations. Not only was the event fun, but it was very successful.

For some it was their first time ever carving a pumpkin and they wished they had done it sooner! For other more “seasoned veterans”, they used their carving “expertise” to carve out some intricate designs. ...

So we’ve still got some work to do on this blog. Currently gathering some photos, and going to make a either a flickr or photobucket account sometime soon!
We’ve got a busy weekend ahead, but we’ve also had a pretty busy week as well.
