In addition to these web pages, we will be using email to communicate updates, meeting notices, and other information. If you know of Delta Chapter alumnae who are not receiving emails, please ask them to send their information to mcneill.dana@gmail.com so we can update our distribution list.

After months of discussions, design reviews, feedback and idea-gathering, the special Task Force established to work with Simpson on the potential for a new chapter house is ready to make its final presentation and recommendations. This is a truly exciting time for our chapter and we hope that you will plan to attend the February House Corp meeting where we will officially vote on the project.

All alumnae of Delta Chapter are automatically members of House Corp. According to our by-laws, a simple majority vote is required from those physically in attendance at the meeting. We will not be able to accommodate absentee or remote votes.

At the meeting, the Task Force will share the latest architectural renderings, early concepts of interiors, financial and contractual details and information. In advance of the meeting, we invite you to review the downloadable floor plans and renderings posted on the website.

Please mark your calendars and plan to attend:

Thank you to the many alumnae and collegiate chapter members that have participated in this process. The Task Force truly appreciates the input, suggestions and recommendations made. We have made every effort to ensure this has and will continue to be an inclusive and open dialogue.
