On Jan. 29, resident’s assistants Aliyah Davis and Krista Metzler hosted a community service program they called Pretzels for Rachel Pigott.
Davis and Metzler prepared homemade soft pretzel dough and invited students to Main Hall to shape and bake their own pretzels. Students in attendance were asked to make a donation in remembrance of Rachel Pigott.

Pigott was a resident on Davis’ floor of Hanson Hall. She was also a member of Delta Gamma Women’s Fraternity and the Montevallo Cross Country team.
Pigott was killed in a car accident on Sept. 1, 2014. Her family has since created a scholarship fund in her honor. Davis and Metzler are sending the donations from their program to the Rachel Grace Pigott Scholarship Fund in preparation for the Rachel’s Run 5K.
Members of Delta Gamma said the event gave them an opportunity to remember their happy times with Pigott. “It’s nice that we can still have these events and we can still look forward to talking about Rachel more in a good way,” Christen Oswald said.
