Lovely sisters-
I wanted to give an update and share upcoming dates related to the colony at U of D in case anyone on here lives close enough to want to join us for festivities
We have selected advisors and I trained them last weekend and I'm currently seeking out mentor advisors from other U of D Panhellenic groups to help them learn the "U of D" ropes.
Meanwhile here are the upcoming events:
Monday, February 5th-Leadership Consultant Jessica moves to U of D!!
Friday, February 15th- ADPi will be participating in the first round of Panhellenic formal recruitment (their Open House round)- this is two nights and we're assigned to the first night (Friday). Notice, this also falls on the date of District III's District Leadership Conference so we are currently seeking alumnae and collegians nearby who will not be going to DLC that can attend recruitment. Parties start around 6pm (if you cannot be there right at start time, please still consider coming anyway). If you can attend, PM me and I can provide details on what to wear and where this event will be held.
Last week in February- PR begins on campus for ADPi.
Sunday, March 9th- First night of ADPi recruitment; held from 4pm-6pm; this will be an open house style with alumnae and collegians and the colony team present (including members of Grand Council) talking with the PNMs and actually getting them signed up for interviews.
Monday through Wednesday- interviews conducted by colony team and Council
Tuesday, March 11th- Philanthropy Round- start time 7pm- this will showcase the Ronald McDonald House with emphasis on the Wilmington RMH (very close to U of D); here we'll again need alumnae and collegians to help talk with PNMs, do the craft etc.
Thursday, March 13th- Bid Day!
Friday, March 14th- Alpha Ceremony- we'll need some nearby alumnae and collegians to help take our new members through the Alpha ceremony. Given our estimated Alpha member class of 120, you can imagine how long this will take without help!!
Saturday, March 15th- Colony Retreat
May 2nd- Officer Installation
May 3rd- Initiation- here the Council and the Colony Team will definitely need local alumnae and collegians to help as we initiate the entire colony; that night will be the Chapter Installation Banquet
As usual, we will be collecting notes and gifts for the colony members, so if you haven't already donated your gently used ADPi stuff that you don't need anymore, please consider giving it to a future U of D sister
PM me if you have any questions or can help out!
I'll post updates as we go along but we're very excited!
Loyally,
