Stefany Slack Bowers:1999 Chaplain, 2001 Vice President

     Greetings to all my sweet Gamma sisters old and new!  My name is Stefany (Slack) Bowers.  I was in Gamma Rho from the fall of 1998 - the spring of 2002.  I was chaplain during my sophomore year and vice president my junior year.  I grew up in Edmond and entered Oklahoma Christian with many of my hometown friends.  This was a blessing, but little did I know the friends I would make in college!  Specifically, I am SO THANKFUL for the wonderful girls of Gamma Rho.  They gave me confidence to be a leader, enriched my spiritual life, entertained me and we supported each other through thick and thin.

     I have only fond memories of my time in club.  (Well, I do remember tiring of the MANY hours of spring sing practice!)  I have to say my favorite part of club was the intramural activities.  Not only was it fun to compete, it was also a guaranteed good time socially!  Although I tired of practicing, Spring Sing week stands out in my mind as a high point of each year.  I remember getting that acceptance letter (I still have my pledge week packet!), induction, scavenger hunts, banquets, road trips, meetings, sitting together in chapel...the list could go on and on.

     I now live in Texas and am approaching my 10th wedding anniversary.  My husband asked if I would be talking about him in my blog post.  I told him he was NOT the center of my Gamma fun, but he quickly pointed out that he was my first Rho Beau.  So, I guess I even owe the love of my life to Gamma (but I didn't figure out that he was the ONE until 2 1/2 years after he was my Rho Beau)! :)  I also have a FANTASTIC son who is 4 1/2.  

Anytime I get back up to Edmond to see family, I have a warm fuzzy feeling driving around the OC campus.  God blessed me beyond measure with my years there.  I know that is not true for everyone, and I am truly thankful for that!  I also know that I can call or get together with any of my Gamma sisters and it will be as if we never left!  Thank you to Brennan for connecting us through the alumni blog and facebook.  It has been fabulous to see the old pictures and hear the old stories!  I will leave you with some pictures from my time in Gamma and two of my sweet family.  College was wonderful, but my life now is pretty great too!  Love to all!
