"Delta Letters"
I don't know why I was thinking about this today (Excuse the randomness!!) but when I was a delta member (until May 2006), our chapter would send a letter to our advisors, district leadership team, and province leadership team every week via email. We called it our "Delta Letter." It was always written by a different delta member and it was supposed to cover what happened that week in our chapter, but also something about the member who wrote it.
For example, I was selected to write the letter (usually it was either a volunteer or someone who was involved in something that was going on that week, e.g. the philanthropy chair would write the week of a big philanthropy event) the spring of my sophomore year when I was alumnae relations chair. I wrote about how, as I searched for summer internships/places to live for summer internships, I was reminded about the wide network of ADPi alumnae and how this all tied back into my job for the chapter.
Do other chapters do this? Is is common? Required?
I was just thinking about how I would love to read some of the letters from my chapter this past year - how I wished they'd send them to alumnae too! It was a great way to know what was happening with the chapter AND wonderful insight into the different, wonderful group of members.
