Today was a very special day for Donna. It was the occasion of her ninetieth birthday. She received a very special birthday cake, which was shared with everyone present for dessert. Some very special family members came to share Donna’s birthday party. The youngest member was great, great niece, Skylar; great niece Karla was there; and niece Colleen was also there. Jennifer is Donna’s granddaughter, and Karen, a lifelong friend of Donna’s, also came to share in the celebration.

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.
