You may have just not heard them being requested-- usually it was a quick announcement in chapter by the MEVP that could be easily overlooked-- "can I get delta letter volunteers this week?" or she may have just approached members outside chapter meeting. They've been around for quite a while, but so much happens during chapter meetings!!!!

That's true. It could have been something requested by the MEVP prior to meeting. As a Delta, I honestly only actually remembering attending 1 maybe 2 formal chapter meetings. I say that because I was initiated the last week of March, and there were only roughly, 4 at most 5 chapter meetings until the end of school. I don't think we had a meeting the last week of school (during finals). So as a Delta, I didn't participate in many formal meetings. (Brianna shrugs her shoulders). Oh well.

So what are you writing about this week?

We did our long hand also. The very first one I wrote was the week after initiation (hint hint....easiest week to write one) and i got a thank you card from my Advisor and province Director. It was nice to be appriciated and know that my hard work was recognized. I think I even got a super cute Lion paperclip from one of them.

EVERY Alpha was required to write a letter each week when I was in school. Granted, our quota was never in the twenties, but still, they found someone for us to write to! The most fun one was to our retired housemother, who always wrote back.

As a Delta, it was done on a rotation basis, and you basically had an idea on when you were due to write it. Our Corresponding Secretary would have the envelopes addressed & stamped, and we'd have to turn in the letter by the next morning (read: usually that night!). I never minded doing them, but I don't mind writing letters in any case.

We did try the "Alum Chum"/"Pi Pal" route, but it fell through at the time. I think that, now that numbers are up again, it would be something to think about again. Did anyone else do those?

We had Alpha Letters AND Delta Letters. They were picked at random from girls that hadn't done them. Not all the Alphas get to do Alpha letters as they were only Alphas for about six weeks before they were Deltas.
