In the name of our patron goddess, Hera, members of the alumnae chapter who have contributed to the welfare of others are honored with a red carnation. This year, Delta Pi Delta members have amassed over 10,000 volunteer hours. Three members received their fifty-year pins: Marcia Fink, Zarie Jones and Debbie Armitage. These three members were all initiated together into the Beta Epsilon chapter of Alpha Chi Omega at Michigan State in 1968.
