Sally Alcorn Haliburton '72
Gives Back to Gamma Xi
F
or Sally Alcorn Haliburton
'72, Delta Gamma has always
been a lifetime commitment. "A
chapter is only as strong as its
support group and the alumnae
provide the guidance the chapter
needs to succeed," Sally says.
"We are 'the wind beneath their
wings.'"
As soon as she attended her first
recruitment event, she felt at home
at Gamma Xi. "It was in an un-
air-conditioned dorm, but I was
so excited that I didn't mind being
hot!" She recalls memories such as being a recruitment greeter dressed
in a sailor suit and hat along with Vicki Vannoy Nixon '70 and Sheila
Herberger Sibley '72.
As an alumna, Sally has served in many capacities such as the alumnae
president, recruitment advisor, house corporation treasurer, and now as
house corporation member-at-large. She feels thankful to stay involved
and give back to the chapter—she even designed the interior in the new
chapter house. "I see the joy on the women's faces when they walk in the
door," Sally says. "I love how they constantly use the facility, which I
want to be their home away from home."
It's important for her to connect with Gamma Xi sisters, as she recently
met up with her Midland pledge sisters for a girls' weekend in Dallas.
Once a month, she has lunch with the "DG Ya Ya Sisters," who are
Barbara Bergman Robertson '71, Vicki Vannoy Nixon '70, Paula
Hall Smith '72, Jan Talbert Childress, Arkansas '66, and Lisa Potts
Cobb '09.
Sally is self-employed with Sally Haliburton Design. She and her
husband, Steve (Pinkie to most), live in Lubbock. They have two dogs,
Chloe and Maggie Mae. In her spare time, she enjoys playing mahjongg,
cooking, traveling, biking, and attending bible study. You can stay in
contact with Sally at sallyhaliburton@sbcglobal.net.
Sally handled all of the exterior and interior design at the DG lodge!
