I
n the past I have written of the challenges of
COVID-19, the stressors of our large Chapter
in our Chapter House, and the future of Alpha Delta
Phi Mu. I have expounded on the joys of sisterhood
and the importance of friendships. We must hold on
to what we love most about Phi Mu and this Chapter.
LOVE, HONOR, TRUTH: these values are as
important (maybe more important now) as they were
in the past.
One of the challenges that your House Cooperation
is currently facing is the delayed completion of our
house project; labor and material shortages are playing
a large part in the delay. Our hopes of having a newly
renovated Chapter House for recruitment will not be
a reality. Recruitment will take place on campus, and
details are being worked on as I write this.
We are reminded of other sororities that have executed
excellent recruitments without the benefit of their
house—Kappa Delta and Kappa Kappa Gamma,
most recently. We are hopeful that the joy of having
in-person recruitment before school will be a great
incentive and generate great excitement for our Chapter.
Challenge is the flavor of life: it adds interest and
passion for the values we uphold. As we go forward,
I again want to reiterate the Oxford slogan coined
by our own sister/mayor: WE ARE STRONGER
TOGETHER. This motto resounds loudly today as we
move Alpha Delta forward.
Yours in Our Bond,
