RITUAL CHAPTERS
Alpha Delta
Alpha Delta is a career chapter and that meets year-round on the second Thursday of every month at 7pm. We currently have 14 active members who range in age from the late-30’s to early 60’s. The women of Alpha Delta strive to bring together women from different backgrounds and experiences to support each other along life’s journeys. Our goal is to share ideas, hopes, and challenges and ultimately become more connected with the women around us. Ultimately, we endeavor to build impactful relationships that change lives. Alpha Delta offers members a wide-array of opportunities in which to engage. These include social activities such as happy hours, painting parties, holiday parties, bunko, and poker parties; recreational activities such as camping trips, overnight retreats, and corn-hole tournaments; and philanthropic, volunteer, and cultural activities such as visits to the theatre, musical shows, and movie nights. We truly believe that treasured friendships are one of life’s most valuable assets and true friendships are priceless.
