May 2010 - Hall of Commitment

Delta Omega Delta held Hall of Commitment at the Epsilon Kappa House on Sunday, May 2, 2010, and what a wonderful day it was! The ceremony took place in the chapter room with about a dozen alumnae and nine collegians. Following the Hall of Commitment, we were honored to celebrate our sister, Patrica “Trish” King Dragolovich, on the occasion of her 60th year as an Alpha Chi Omega. Sharing the day with 25-, 50-, 60- and 75-year members was truly remarkable! We ended the afternoon with a light lunch in the courtyard where we chatted and soaked-up the warm, spring sunshine.

What an experience! So Cal Province & Career Day 2009 made history this week as it became the largest attended Alpha Chi event of its kind in California history! More than 400 women attended. It was a full day of events for collegians and alumnae. Collegians participated in a Career Day track that included multiple breakout sessions and lunch with alumnae in their chosen field. Alumnae participated in the Foundation Reception, luncheon, and a State of the Fraternity address.
