Advising Delta Rho Chapter at DePaul University

Members of our alumnae chapter have been dedicated for many years to helping Delta Rho Chapter at DePaul University, actively participating on their Alumnae Advisory Committee.   Jessie C., Karen H., and Yvonne currently serve on Delta Rho's AAC.  We appreciate the passion they share for engaging collegians with our sisterhood and helping them navigate their collegiate years.  Below are some snapshots of events they've shared with our Delta Rho sisters.

Silly Socks for Iota Chapter!!


Back in November, our members brought in many pairs of silly socks for our collegiate sisters in Iota Chapter. Over winter break, our fantastically creative member, Natalie G., transformed them into these adorable cupcakes.  She included one of our "Ways to Apply Ritual to Our Daily Lives" cards with each one.  They were delivered to Iota Chapter this weekend, and we hope they enjoy them throughout the cold winter months!  Thank you to everyone who brought in socks and to Natalie for leading this fun project!

Dinner at Claim Jumper

We headed out on a frigid January night to spend some quality time together at Claim Jumper.  The restaurant wasn't too crowded, so we were able to have good conversations all across our big table.  Thank you to everyone who came to dinner.  We had a great time!

Chicago Volunteer Gathering

AOII's 2013 International Convention will be A Magnificent Celebration in Chicago, IL in June!  AOII Fraternity invited Chicago-area alumnae to a reception at the Marriott Hotel downtown to learn more about volunteer opportunities at International Convention.  We enjoyed meeting members of AOII's Tri-Board: Executive Board, Foundation Board, and Properties Board as well as having an opportunity to visit with our Chicago-area sisters.  We hope all of the visiting AOIIs enjoyed their time in Chicago and are as excited as we are that IC will be in our fabulous city this summer!!

Les Miserables


We had so much fun with each other on Movie Night that some of us got together to see Les Miserables.  It wasn't an official chapter event.  We just felt like doing it again, and we had another great time!
