Join Us for the Annual
House Corporation Meeting
O
ur Annual House Corporation meeting
will be Sunday, April 30, at 1:30 p.m. in
our beautiful Tri Delta House dining room. We
hope a Sunday afternoon meeting will work
for many of you to attend, as parking will be
easy! The nominating committee will present
the slate for the House Corporation Board of
Directors. There will also be nominations from
the floor and an election.
And yes, YOU are already part of House
Corporation—all Delta Mu DDDs and any
DDDs from other chapters that live in the
area are members. I urge you to come,
see some friends, meet new sisters, renew
connections, and enjoy your sister bonds! You
know it "takes a village," and in this case, it
takes us all to help Delta Mu continue to excel
as a philanthropic, academic, and social leader.
