President's Message

Greetings Sorors,

Happy New Year to 2024!!! We have many things to celebrate as we continue the work of our 22 Founder's who created our Awesome sisterhood 111 years ago to be of service to our communities. We have many activities in the coming weeks so please plan accordingly and try to engage in however you are able to serve.  


As you prepare for the Sorority Meeting we will host a Zoom Meeting Wednesday, January 10, 2024 from 5:45-6:45 for Sorors to have time to ask questions about agenda items at our upcoming Sorority Meeting. You will have a chance to ask questions of our 1st Vice President, Soror Safranski and she discusses the MI Calendar and Budget.


Thank you to every Soror that was able to attend our DID's and Trainings this past weekend. There is always a space for learning and areas to grow. I appreciate your gift of time to the growth of our organization!!



In Love and Gratitude,


Soror Stephanie Burrage

We have wonderful grand prizes for the winning team and can't wait to walk, run, bike and move into better health!


If you are not formally participating in the Challenge you can still work on improving your health. We are uniting with our national partner, The American Heart Association, to bring you weekly tips on small ways to make big changes to your heart health. Share your small changes with us on social media using the hashtag #getbodied2024! 


Also, mark your calendars for a special "J13 Walk With The Deltas" on January 13th, at the Mall of America at 8AM. Did you know we walk on average 7,700 steps and 3 1/2 miles when we walk at the mall?! 


We look forward to celebrating better health with you!
