Lambda Alpha has several traditions that have developed over the years from 1979. Below you will find a few of the traditions. If you have additional traditions that we should add, please contact the webmaster.
Annual Salad Lunch. The new year begins with a Salad Lunch. It's a time to get together, visit and share summer experiences and plan out the new year. The Salad Luncheon is held at the home of one of the members. For years it was a Aban Rustojimi's home. Currently it is being held at Karen Harrell's.
The Annual Salad Lunch is our first business meeting. Goals and highlights for the year are shared. Committees are established and members secured for the variety of jobs. If possible, time is allotted for committees to meet.
December Holiday Lunch. This special event is held the first Saturday in December at the Junior League. Plans for this gathering begin a full year in advance. We all dress in our holiday best and enjoy fun and fellowship. And of course a great meal. Often we will have an induction or other ceremony at this event.
January Brunch. We start the year out with a bang. This fun event is held on the first or second Saturday in January depending on school calendars. At the Brunch, we hold a business meeting as well as a fun creative fundraiser. It's time to clean out your house, share a special talent, or somehow find something that someone else would want. It is a silent auction/raffle as you stuff cups for the items that you want and hope that your number will be called. It's a fun time and a great way to start of the new year.
Tri-Chapter meeting. Over the years we have gathered with other chapters near to our area. We join to celebrate the founders of DKG, have a guest speaker, and enjoy a meal together. It has been hosted at schools, resturants, and churches. It is a great time to step outside of your chapter and meet other DKG members.
April/May Lambda Alpha Birthday Celebration. Traditionally, this has been held at a resturant. It is a time for our Birthday Celebration, awards, and induction of new members and new officers in the new biennium. Another time of celebration and fellowship.
Virginia Johnson Award List. Given each year for a member who has gone above and beyond to support our chapter. In addition, the recipient is thought to be an exemplary person in every way, both personally and professionally. Detailed Virginia Johnson Award from 2025 forward.
