Philadelphia Blue Hen Network
Philadelphia Blue Hens and friends can connect with each other through events and the Philadelphia Blue Hen Network Facebook Group for camaraderie, networking, local advice and recommendations and sharing their mutual love for the University of Delaware.
Join local events, organized by UD Blue Hen ambassadors in your region, that range from happy hours to family-friendly ice cream gatherings and museum tours to cheering on your favorite sports teams at the stadium. Many events are sponsored by the UD Alumni Association (UDAA), which allows them to be offered at discounted rates.

Favorite UD memories:
My favorite UD memories were joining the University of Delaware Figure Skating Team and all of the experiences that came with that! One of my favorite memories was our team hosting nationals in 2019 and placing second in the country. During my four years on UDFS I made lifelong friends and memories I will cherish forever.

Favorite Memory:
I LOVE Homecoming and attended every Homecoming from 2004-2012. The streak ended when I was a bridesmaid at my best friend's Double Del wedding in 2013.
Unfortunately, living in Barcelona and North Carolina made attending Homecoming difficult for many years, but I am excited to attend annually again now that I am living in Philadelphia.

Executing the Walk The Moon concert my senior year along with the SCPAB board was the most amazing way to wrap up my four years at UD.

Favorite Memory:
Becoming a founder of not one but TWO fraternities on campus (one social and one academic), Pi Kappa Phi and Delta Sigma Pi. My schedule was always busy and hectic trying to fit everything in and make time, but I made memories I wouldn't trade for anything.
