Delta Omicron Chapter

East Carolina University

September 24, 2000

Dear Sister,

It’s now Fall in North Carolina and most schools have had Fall Rush. That thought triggers memories of when I was a rushee and a rusher in ADP at East Carolina. I remember Skit nights and singing and crying on Pref night and of course the happiness on Bid Day. I also remember being a Province Director and getting to visit Delta Omicron during Rush and sitting on those long cut sessions. I remember when we moved into our little white house on Fifth Street and having our first meal together and singing our ADP blessing. I also remember returning as a Province Director and getting to sleep in my old bedroom. What triggers your memories? Can you still remember the words to “I Love the Pin”? When did you last wonder “ What happened to sister So-and-so”?

In less than a year (June 28-July 2, 2001), Alpha Delta Pi will be celebrating its 150^th anniversary in Atlanta. Its time to start planning to join your Delta Omicron sisters (There are over 600 of us!)

at the celebration. The five days will be packed with fun and entertainment, whether you come for a girls-only getaway or for a family vacation. Atlanta has many attractions and ADPi is planning numerous activities. Check out the Alpha Delta Pi webpage- www.alphadeltapi.org

Why am I writing you about a party scheduled in 2001 and one that you have heard about from ADPI mailings and The Adelphean? Each chapter will have a reunion area at the convention for displays, activities, and visiting. As the Reunion Chair of our Chapter, I need your help in planning and unforgettable experience for all of the Delta Omicron sisters who will be attending. Please send me your ideas for:

· A Delta Omicron chapter display- memorabilia such as photos, composites, year books, Black Diamond Ball Favors, trophies- other

· Special activities during the week for DO sisters – shopping, picnic, cocktail party, etc

· Ways to encourage and publicize attendance—I plan to use the Chapter website www.clubhouse.ecu.edu/alphadeltapi

· Ways to finance the display and other expenses – donations, sell special convention t-shirts, other

I am looking forward to hearing from those who are a part of my memories and those whom I have yet to meet! Anyone who would like to be on the Reunion Committee for DO sisters, please let me know.

Loyally,
