Members of Delta Pi Delta Alumnae Chapter of Alpha Chi Omega met for a Christmas celebration at Imperial Golf Club in Naples, Florida, on December 9, 2017. The group was large, festive and dressed in the colors of Christmas. Hostess Donna Porter provided a beautiful luncheon and included on the menu sticky buns, our perennial favorite at Imperial. They were every bit as good as usual. As Christmas gifts, members brought personal items and gift cards for women and children in shelters in Hendry, Lee and Collier Counties.
We welcomed to the luncheon four special young women from Kappa Chi, the Alpha Chi Omega chapter at Florida Gulf Coast University. Briana and Kylie are recent graduates of FGCU; Carlene is the new chapter adviser for Kappa Chi; and Kaitlyn is the current VP of Ritual and Fraternity and the recipient of an Alpha Chi Love and Loyalty scholarship. She came to the luncheon today to express her chapter’s thanks to Delta Pi Delta for the help our members have given Kappa Chi. We are proud to call these young women our sisters.
Brenda and Lynn Griebahn have a passion for ballroom dancing. In the last ten years, they have entered and won ballroom dancing competitions around the US. Brenda & Lynn presented a Holiday Dance Program, dancing to Christmas music. They demonstrated the chacha, rumba, swing, foxtrot, quickstep, tango and Viennese waltz. We really enjoyed watching Brenda and Lynn perform the dances with great technique, footwork, timing and grace.
