"I truly cherish lovely luncheons where we share salads and desserts. I especially enjoy
the opportunities to meet sisters from different states," Carol enthused.
"Luncheons are a highlight for sisters. There are 25 members who participate in the
luncheon, and they particularly enjoy the session where we share a Tri Delta memory,"
Nancy began. "We collect donations for the Foundation at these luncheons, and we also
have an annual book sale to raise money for our treasury."
Of the 1,000 Delta Xi sisters in the St. Louis area, only 40 women pay dues to the
alumnae group. Alumnae groups are a one-stop shop for sharing memories and making
new ones. From your early 20s to your late 90s, there's no expiration date of when
to get involved, only a desire to do so is required. "Making memories with fellow
alumnae is one of the best parts," Carol added.
"The luncheon is always a fun way to catch up and hear stories,
especially from our senior members. These ac vi es become
increasingly important to the lives of our members as they grow
older and their circumstances change. It's a great way to celebrate
sisterhood!" –Nancy Stough Hillhouse '67
When Nancy, Carol, and Laura were asked what advice they would give to younger
alumnae, they all agreed that sisterhood is lifelong. Laura advised, "Get involved and
make a difference!"
