Delta's Only- State Fair

Every month, deltas all get together for a sisterhood event called "Delta's Only", planned by our incredible Member Development Chair Kellie McKinney. For the month of October, we all visited the South Carolina state fair, a much loved annual treat in Columbia. Thank you so much to the irreplaceable Kellie for always being so on top of things and planning such creative events for our chapter! I know we are all looking forward to November's Delta's Only- going to see the premiere of the new Hunger Games movie! Thank you as well to Kellie for writing today's posts and taking some amazing photos. It's one of my recent favorites- hope you all enjoy! 


As a sorority with over 300 active members, it's a rare opportunity for Tri Deltas to be in the same place at once.  So once a month, I organize an activity to encourage the chapter members to take a break from whatever stresses they're facing and simply enjoy the company of their sisters.

With midterms on the horizon and Fall Break just out of reach, it was obvious that the hardworking ladies of Tri Delta needed a break from the blase monotony of tests and papers.  It's as if the South Carolina State Fair came right on cue to lift our spirits.

I think I can sum up the State Fair in one word: indulgence.  In the best kind of way.  Indulgence in food, in joy, and in each other.  I don't think I saw a single frown the entire time I was there.  It warmed my heart to see my sisters take time out of their busy schedules to spend time reliving their childhoods together.

From being adventurous and trying the renowned donut burger and fried cookie dough, to taking a ride on an elephant, to enjoying live concerts, I think the State Fair brought a little something special to everyone who went.

P.S. Check it out-- Some of our sisters even got to meet Corey Smith after his show Thursday night.  Throw what you know, Corey! :)
