Greek of the Week: Emily Gay

This week's Greek of the Week goes to none other than the infamous Emily Gay. A member of Tri Delta since last fall, Emily is a sophomore at the University of Iowa. She is studying managerial business and will begin this track next semester in fall 2015.

Emily is from Chicago, just like everybody else on the campus, and hails from Lake Zurich. She chose the University of Iowa for their well known business program, and also for the location -- only three hours from home.

Along with the other 16 percent of the undergraduates who join Greek life, Emily decided to take the plunge. "I went Greek because I wanted to be a part of something through college. My mom was in a sorority and she always talked so highly of it so I decided to give it a chance. My goal was to make a solid group of friends, and hey the boys can't hurt."

When asked why she chose Tridelt, Gay said, "Because I could really see myself hanging out with the girls. I liked other houses too, but there were so many girls that seemed like me that I couldn't not join." So on that fateful day when Gay opened her bid card and saw those three triangles, she was beyond excited. "I went through the recruitment process with a ton of girls and we all liked different houses, but my roommate and our other good friend all picked Tridelt and that's when I knew it was the house for me."

This semester, Gay has the position of Correspondence within the Officers Council of her sorority. In this position, she helps plan events for the chapter along with the VP of Public Relations. Just recently, Gay helped coordinate Tridelt's annual Easter Egg Hunt with Iowa City's Mom's Blog. In addition, when it comes times for the holidays such as Christmas or even Valentine's Day, if your chapter receives a gift basket full of candy and a card, you can thank Gay herself. She puts together gifts for chapters every couple months, wishing them well.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
