Testimonial: Connect with Morocco “I feel so grateful to have been allowed to embark on this once-in-a-lifetime journey in Morocco… Experiencing the radiating love, hospitality, and culture of Morocco quickly conquered all of my previous doubts and transformed them into a deep admiration for such an incredible community of people. I have been warmly welcomed and moved by the countless Moroccans and am overwhelmed by their desire to host us as their guests despite any language or cultural barriers.” – Lauren Sanchez, Beta Chi-Denver, collegian, 2019 Hope Serving participant

Testimonial: Build Authentic Relationships “It is amazing to me that Delta Gamma brought us together. My hope and faith in sisterhood is restored. These women are brilliant, self-aware, poised, curious, resilient, and brave. They are the women I aspire to be and have allowed me to learn and grow from and with them. I feel so much peace in knowing that these are the women who are “Doing Good” and representing Delta Gamma around the world.” – Lauren Delzell, Tau-Iowa, alumna, 2019 Hope Serving participant
