National Vice President and Gamma Pi-Emory University alumna Cynthia Allen Weston has authored Ordinary Miracles: 100 Years of Kappa Delta Sorority. Look for it in the Angelos or your bookstore. My own chapter, Alpha Omicron-Queens College, Charlotte, NC, was seventy years old in 1998, the first sorority at Queens. The current chapter won the Queens College Panhellenic Scholarship Award for the sixth consecutive year! AO has won the Scholarship Award nine years out of the last ten. That's pretty good, don't you think? They also received the National Scholarship Award at convention in 1997. After all, Kappa Delta doesn't lower her standards for you. You must reach high to meet hers!

"Build Thee more stately mansions, O my soul, As the swift seasons roll; Leave thy low vaulted past, Let each new temple, nobler than the last, Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast 'Til thou at length are free, Leaving thy outgrown shell by Life's unresting sea." - Oliver Wendell Holmes (I'm looking for a good picture of a nautilus shell if you have one or know where I can get one.)

The AO-Queens College chapter of Kappa Delta had its reunion October 9 - 11, 1998, in Charlotte, NC, to celebrate the seventieth anniversary of its founding, October 20, 1928. It was a weekend of fun and getting reacquainted with friends while renewing our sisterhood with each other and our vows to Kappa Delta! We also honored those founding sisters who were courageous to charter the first sorority at Queens. It was a great weekend!
