Dream Girl:

Delta Gamma songs offer cherished memories and traditions for our sisters. From the pursuit of new members to our beloved ritual, specific tunes inspire connection and elicit memories which reflect the very best, most cherished moments of sisterhood. For nearly 100 years, there has been one all-time favorite song that has stood the test of time. Dream Girl was first shared at the 1936 biennial Convention in Lake Placid, New York where Alpha Kappa chapter submitted it for a first place prize in the Convention song contest. The now-renowned song was written for Vera Rickenbacker Stowell, Alpha Kappa-Washburn. Still today, the song remains a tribute to all who wear our golden anchor and stand behind the bronze, the pink and blue.

This label highlights a sketch that was featured on the main program for the Eleventh Delta Gamma Convention in 1899, held in Albion, Michigan. The dream girl in this sketch is wearing a traditional, Victorian era evening dress featuring the Bertha neckline and beehive silhouette. The terms “dream girl” embodies so much more than a sweetheart romance in the hearts of Delta Gammas today. The term is used to describe the embodiment of those that exemplify the values of Delta Gamma. Values that have remained steadfast since since the time of our founding during the Victorian era.

We introduce to you Dream Girl. From the chalky soil of the Carneros region in southern Napa Valley, this gem exhibits lush green apple and bright grapefruit notes while dancing across your palate. This stunning wine is light and friendly with very subtle vanilla and pear blossom hints on the nose. Balanced fruit with tarte acidity makes this wine a classic example of Premium Napa Chardonnay.

H 1873 Reserve:

The “dear letter H” was the first symbol of Delta Gamma. A symbol that stood for hope. In 1873 when our Founders formed our club of mutual helpfulness, they placed hope and friendship above all else. For almost 150 years these principles have remained the driving force of our sisterhood. Little did our Founders know that they were laying the cornerstone for what would become the Delta Gamma of today – a fabric woven together by the countless friendships formed since the time of our founding.

This label features a sketch of that first symbol, the H pin. Delta Gamma has been known by many symbols and images over the years, but this is the first. This symbol was carefully designed by our three Founders in January 1874. Founder Mary Comfort Leonard wrote, “We went to a local jeweler and had our pin made – the dear little letter H which stood for hope, for we hoped great results and have not been disappointed.”

We introduce you to H Reserve 1873. This proprietary red blend – from our award-winning winemaker Todd Heth – exhibits dark blackberry, bing cherry and plum notes perfectly into layers of coffee and tobacco. The finish is dry with long lasting berry fruit. Silky but firm tannins, this wine is enjoyable now but has the ability to age well in the cellar.
