MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Summer Greetings from Your National President
This year has flown by and time is rapidly approaching for our 107 th
National Convention in West Des Moines, Iowa. I have thoroughly
enjoyed my time on National Council and the Board of Trustees. I
am indebted to the members of our organization for allowing me
the opportunity of serving our wonderful sorority.
We have decided that we will be using the voting cards again this
year for legislation. This will save our knees. There will be no updown, up-down for each vote! Also, Motion Forms will be available
at the front of the meeting room daily. If you plan on making a
motion, please get your Motion Form early and have it filled out.
If you haven’t had a chance to look at our website, please take the
time to do so, www.deltathetatau.org. Eileen Williams has been
doing a great job keeping forms updated on the site and putting additional information on it
including the registration forms for National Convention and the Tour information. Be sure to look
at the Province Convention Tab to see where and when the Province Conventions will be in the fall.
Eileen will continue to add more information to the website and also to our Facebook Page.
I have had an amazing group of National Officers working with me this year. They have made my
job easier because they do their job so well. Always remember that the National Officers are here
for you. If you have a question or concern, please be sure to contact one of us.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone at National Convention in W. Des Moines, Iowa. Your
hostess chapters have been planning a wonderful week, come and make memories with all your
Delta Sisters!
Delta Love,
Bev Edwards
National President

National Secretary of Philanthropy
The office of National Secretary of Philanthropy is so rewarding and fun. I have enjoyed learning about all the Philanthropy that you all are doing across our country. It is amazing how you have all touched so many lives and helped so
many organizations.
The Sorority’s National Philanthropy Project is NFED and we have supported the Foundation with over $169,760.00
since 1997. The total money spent on Educational Grants since 1959 is over $646,372.00. This year’s National Yearly
Project went to This Able Veteran, submitted by Omicron Alpha, Woodlawn, IL and was awarded over $5,892.00. We
are “Making a Difference”.
National Convention is getting closer. I hope to see you all in West Des Moines, IA. This year’s theme is “Denim to
Diamonds” and I’m sure will be lots of fun. I am looking forward to seeing all my friends and meeting new ones. Don’t
forget to make your reservations soon.
Delta Love,
Linda Dressen
National Secretary of Philanthropy
National Chairman, Board of Trustees
Dear Ladies of Delta Theta Tau,
Happy Spring my Delta Sisters! This year’s goal of National Council and The Board of Trustees was to strive to move
forward into the new millennium. Of course it is 2015 and the new millennium started 15 years ago!
While attending my first convention, I heard that current year’s theme from our then President, Terri Shannon. “Be the
Change”. That phrase has stuck with me to this day. She, at that time, was introducing us to the concept that things
needed to change in Delta Theta Tau and we would need to embrace new ideas in order to remain a strong
organization of amazing women.
I encourage our members to look at the legislation packet your chapters received in May and prepare your thoughts
and questions in advance of convention. Please come to convention prepared to help Delta Theta Tau continue to be
‘the best that is in womanhood.’
Please take the time to look at your chapter from an outside perspective. This is not easy. We know Delta Theta Tau.
But potential and even new members do not. Please look at how you are perceived by those who do not know us and
do your best to explain who we are. New brochures are available to you at no charge (except postage) from the
National Secretary. I encourage you to use them. If you see a need to change how outsiders perceive your chapter,
please do not dismiss it as “this is the way we have always done it.”
It is evident that we are working towards a new reality. The economy cannot always be the blame. Our 112 year old
organization has survived through wars, the great depression, and several recessions. We survived through all these
obstacles. (Probably because we are women.) But because we are women, we can do it again. We need to work
toward the common goal together.
Referring to: ‘this is the way we have always done it’. It is not a reason, it is an excuse. We need to eliminate this
phrase from our vocabulary. Maybe consider “let’s look if this will work for us in today’s world”. Change requires work
and we are the hardest working bunch of ladies I have ever met. We juggle so many titles in our everyday life and yet
still find time to help others. We are awesome.
Please keep an open mind to change, weight the options-pro and con- to new ideas, and help us all move ‘straight
forward and unafraid.’
Delta Love,
Bonnie B. Wells
Chairman, Board of Trustees

National Philanthropy Committee
The National Philanthropy Committee met January 24, 2015 at the Cambria Suites in Plainfield, IN. Those in attendance
were: National President, Bev Edwards via email; Linda Dressen, National Secretary of Philanthropy; Junior Cruea,
Chairman; Michelle Bell, Secretary and Cathy Stanford, Third Member.
Three applications for graduate level educational grants were submitted and met the December 10 th deadline. Chairman,
Junior Cruea scanned and emailed the applications to the other committee members for their review prior to the meeting.
Of the three applications, two were new applications and one was a renewal request. At the 2014 National Convention
the assembly voted to expend $5,000 for educational grants. With the donations ($340.59) that were made to the fund
and an unclaimed grant from last year in the amount of $2,232.22 the Philanthropy Committee was able to award a total
of $7,572.81 to the three applicants.
The convention delegation also voted to donate $5,000 to the National Foundation for Ectodermal Dysplasias (NFED). In
1997, Delta Theta Tau adopted NFED as our national project. We annually donate $5,000. Each year progress has
been made in research. Last year we were informed of a possible CURE on the horizon.
Three 501C -3 organizations were nominated by chapters to be considered for the National Yearly Project. Each
organization will be presented at the business meeting at National Convention. The selection will be made by the voting
members on Saturday, July 11th.
Chapter delegates, don’t forget to bring a news article for the National Philanthropy Committee’s bulletin board. We want
everyone to see how we are “Making A Difference” in our communities.

work, but the reward is huge!
Many Delt chapters have started their spring projects for philanthropy. I have seen
notices on Facebook for plant sales and spring luncheons. Our chapters are very
good at using social media to get the word out for Delta Theta Tau. It is working
also. I have had news from chapters getting new sisters that maybe haven’t had a
new sister in a long time. Some are growing by leaps
and bounds. This is a nice trend for Delta Theta Tau!
Please keep posting your events to let your communities
know that you are a viable organization and are looking
to expand your membership. It takes time and hard
I hope to see everyone at National Convention in Des Moines. I am excited for my first
convention on the podium looking out to everyone’s smiling faces. Please take time to review
candidates for office and proposed legislation. If you have a candidate for initiation at
convention, please let me know as soon as possible!
Can’t wait to see all Delta Theta Tau blinged out in Denim to Diamonds at Des Moines!

Delta Home Program Directorate
“WHAT THE DELTA HOME PROGRAM DOES”
The Delta Home Program is “Making a Difference” in the lives of our sisters who need extra help with finances.
The DHP makes a difference by sharing our love, concern, and care through providing financial help with our Delta
Sisters’ expenses. This assistance is available to active, associate, alumnae and members at large sisters who are 60
years or older, have been a member at least 7 years, have a need greater than income, and have paid Delta Home dues
of $2.00/year or $100 in lieu of the annual payments.
Delta sisters have told us about the “difference” this help has made in their lives.
“Thank you so much for the birthday card and check. You can’t imagine what this means to me. I don’t know what I
would do without all of the sorority’s help,” said one Delta.
Another sister expressed her thanks in this way: “I am so thankful for the financial support from the Delta Home Fund,
and the cards that I received are very thoughtful.”
“Many thanks for my Christmas gift. I send my best regards to Delta Theta Tau for making my life easier due to their
generosity,” stated a recipient.
A sister wrote, “Dear Director, I’m thinking of how really dear you have been. You are always so concerned with my
problems and I love to hear your voice – a voice I’ll always remember when I hear it. I’ll not forget you.”
Still other recipients had these words to say:
“Thank you for the money for my personal needs. I am using some to attend my Province Convention.”
“Thanks for another year of financial help. I used the money to have my hair shampooed and cut.”
“Please thank the Sorority for me. I would not be able to make things meet without the monetary help.”
“Your help has meant so much for all that you give and share with me. My heart wants to say ‘Thank You’ for all the
blessings it has felt because of the Delta Home Program. Many thanks for all you’ve done.”
The DHP does make a difference and it can make a difference in someone’s life. If you are a sister or know of a sister
who needs extra help, then contact Carol Lewis, Delta Home Program Directorate President, and request an application.

One Hundred Years Ago
Excerpt from The Diamond Years
On the very first day of a brand new year, 1915, one of the
sorority’s greatest chapters, Xi, was installed at Portland,
Indiana, by Union City’s Lambda chapter. Presiding was
Cora Voisinet (Dwyer), and one of the charter members was
Ruth Whipple (Badders McKinley). There was a banquet
and dance honoring the 11 charter members, and the Deltas
from Union City stayed overnight.
Sharlette Cole, a Portland Delta, reports, “I recently spent a
very enjoyable afternoon with Ruth Pope Davidson. Ruth
remembered well the night she was initiated on January 24,
1916, and said the ‘rough stuff’ was first before the formal
service. During the ‘rough stuff’ they were required to kiss
the ‘Greek god of Delta Theta Tau’, and at a later date they
had to kiss a piece of liver.”
Look at the clothes the Deltas were wearing when they
assembled for that 1915 convention in Liberty, Indiana, June
17, where 12 chapters sent delegates. Middy blouses with
braid, worn with black pleated skirts and big black scarves
tied into bows were the fashions of the day. Delegates still
were housed in the homes of the hostesses, and the social
functions included a tea, a banquet and a dance.
Thirty delegates were present for this convention and it was
then the decision was made by the assembly to incorporate
Delta Theta Tau and make it a national organization, so an

Delta Province Chairman for 2015
My name is Michele Camarillo-Kipp. As a member of the Zeta Epsilon Chapter in Ventura, California, I currently serve as Chapter Vice President and Pledge Supervisor. I was
privileged to serve as 2013 Delta Province Convention Secretary.
Since retiring in 2010, I have enjoyed doing all those things I never really had time to do –
those things you don’t get paid to do, but are so much more rewarding. In addition to my
service for Delta Theta Tau Sorority, I am a member of the Lady Knights, associated with
the Knights of Columbus where my husband is a current member and a Past Grand
Knight. I am also the coordinator for our parish’s Adult Bible Study program and I teach
Religious Education classes to 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th graders. I’ve enjoyed my volunteer work
with the kids so much that I am currently attending classes in pursuit of my Catechist Certification in Elementary Education.
As if that weren’t enough, I also spend a couple of days a week with the grandkids, carpooling them to and from school,
providing after-school care, and occasionally chaperoning field trips. I love those field trips! In my “spare” time, I practice
yoga and meditation – keeping it all in balance.
This year, I’ve been elected as 2015 Delta Province Chairmen. I’m so proud to serve all of my Delta Sisters and can’t wait
to see everyone at our “Delta’s Midway Country Fair” in Paso Robles, California on November 6, 7, and 8, 2015, hosted
by Theta Iota. Come join us for what is sure to be a fun-filled and exciting weekend!

Xi Epsilon Chapter would like to invite our Delta Sisters to the Eta Province Convention, to be held October 2, 3, and 4,
2015 in the beautiful Yakima Valley. We will be staying at the Oxford Suites, located next to the Yakima River. Our “Fall
Harvest” convention will be a delight to your taste buds as you experience the finest that our region has to offer. Apples,
pears, peaches, cherries, grapes…I bet you can taste these already!
We will start out our Harvest weekend with a mixer at the home of Jeri Elliott. It’s always great to see our sisters!
Saturday will be a busy day with our business meeting and luncheon. We will experience some more of what our
Yakima Valley has to offer with our Saturday banquet. Let’s not forget our evening entertainment – the Xi Epsilon girls.
We always have a good time! We will have our traditional raffle, in our pajamas of course. We will have an evening of
laughs and bartering for our raffle gifts. Our ladies never leave empty handed.
Sunday we will wrap up our Fall Harvest and say our farewells. It’s always great to meet with our Sisters and learn new
ideas. We all serve our communities in so many different ways and reuniting with each other gives us some new spirit
and a fresh outlook for the next year.
Please email Province chairman, Janie Storey at [email protected] for more information. We look forward to
seeing you all at the Oxford Suites in October in the beautiful Yakima Valley.

It's been a busy, but exciting 2014/2015 term for our
present outgoing officers that have been led by outgoing
Chapter President-Jean Criffield. Jeanie did an
outstanding job of keeping our twice monthly meetings
moving along so that our business could be taken care of
and some social time could still be enjoyed by our Kappa
Xi sisters.
Zeta Chapter sisters worked hard for our Fashionista
Fiesta April 18th. This is one of three projects we have
during the year. This event includes Style Show,
Luncheon and Silent Auction.
Other information for summer:
Our Style Show/luncheon April 18th is always a great
success and money making projects.
One big project that was taken on during Jeanie's
presidency was a first time 'Theme Basket Bingo' in
October, with all prizes being different themed gift
baskets. It was a huge success! Kappa Xi Chapter says
thanks to all of our outgoing officers and kudos for all
their hard work!
We will be looking forward to our National Convention
held in Des Moines, Iowa, when we come back we will be
getting ready for our 2nd money making project: Monroe
County Fair, our Dairy Bar is a wonderful booth for
Sloppy Joes, grilled cheese, ice cream, shakes and I
could go on and on. This project is for a week.
By the time this Summer issue of the GRIT reaches your
mailboxes, Kappa Xi Chapters 'Delta Showboat'
presentation, " From Rags to Riches" will be a thing of
the past. The first half of the musical program was a
blend of Hee Haw and Gospel selections and the second
half was good old Show tune selections. The program
was held Friday, April 24th, and Saturday, April 25th at
our local high school auditorium at 7:30PM. There were
many, many special acts in the show and all done by
Brookville area folks with good old talent! The Showboat
Chorus as always sang many selections and had the
audience tapping their toes and singing along. This
annual project has been very beneficial for our
philanthropy fund and helped us with finishing out our
fiscal year of spending for philanthropy projects, in the
name of Delta Theta Tau.
Are you ready for the Summer sisters? We gals of Kappa
Xi are and we are hoping to see many of you at National
Convention, in West Des Moines, Iowa....where we'll be
sporting our "Denim and Diamonds"! Have a safe
summer sisters..............with family and friends!
Our 3rd project is October Garage Sale, a one day event.
Linda Stipp and myself (Janet) co-chair this project again.
We have become a small chapter but we are a mighty
group working together to help our community. I know
with 60 years experience in Zeta.

Kim Emmert-O’Dell and her team of officers for
2014/2015 have done an outstanding job. At our April
meeting we elected new officers for 2015-2016 and they
were installed at our May meeting. On April 18, we had
our Taste Treat Luncheon at McKinley Hill Church, which
is a new location for this event. Each Alpha Omega
member makes the equivalent of three 9”x13” dishes of a
chosen recipe. We limit our ticket sales to 200. Those
who come have the chance to have a taste (spoonful) of
20+ different dishes. The cost includes a book with the
recipes for the dishes they are sampling.
Delta Love,
Vicki Mills
On April 30, the trucks from the supplier brought in
hanging baskets and pots of geraniums to the pavilion at
our local park. After much sorting and counting, the
flowers were ready for Alpha Omega members to pick up
and deliver throughout the county and surrounding area.
This is one of our largest fundraisers of the year and
we’re always glad when the last basket or pot is
delivered. Our profits help fund worthwhile community
agencies and projects throughout the year. We also
regularly assist the Clay County Emergency Food Pantry,
House of Hope, Clay County Humane Society, St.
Vincent Clay Hospital ER, CRADLES (Cultivating
Responsible Adults by Developing Leadership, Education
and Self-Sufficiency, and the Serving on the Streets
(SOS) ministry.

As we look forward to warmer weather we also look
forward to initiating more members into our chapter. We
sent several invitations and voted on prospective
candidates in March. We hosted a “meet and greet”
event to introduce ourselves and answer questions about
our chapter.
Our Philanthropy committee has been working on
selecting the winner of the Peg Helms Scholarship which
is a yearly award given to an outstanding High school
senior. Two of our members helped to select the
participants in Girls State since we co-sponsor that award
with other local organizations.
Diane Braden
Our chapter was especially proud to receive three
27
awards at Province for chapter volunteer hours, per capita
volunteer hours and membership growth.
We will host a fundraiser in May. This will be an Italian
dinner held at a restaurant owned by one of our members.
The proceeds will be split between the local food pantry
and the humane shelter.
We made donations to the Post Prom committee and the
art shows sponsored by the local schools.
Kinnett. Aletha passed away on February 1, 2015. She
joined Epsilon Omega in 1962 and was a member for 50
years when in 2012 she moved to MAL status. She will be
greatly missed.
This spring finds us wrapping up our Nut Sales. In May we
will have our Vera Bradley Spring Raffle and in June our
annual participation in the Crawfordsville Strawberry
Festival.
As stated above, this has been a busy year. But this has
also been a good year of sisters working together to make
the Epsilon Omega Chapter an outstanding member of this
community.
A growing concern among members has been the
counting of volunteer hours-what is allowed and what is
not. A guideline of acceptable and non-acceptable hours
was given to each member so that the confusion could be
resolved.
Pat Hooper
We will be voting on the winner of the Peg Helms

Our slate of officers was presented at the April meeting

achieve our goals-more philanthropy and more
volunteering.

Spring has been a wonderful season for our chapter. In
April we celebrated our anniversary with a catered dinner
for active members and alums. Our entertainment for the
evening was an auction of 1lb items. The bidding was
high spirited and the anticipation of learning what was
purchased was great fun.
This has been another busy year for Epsilon Omega. We
started off the fall with our annual picnic held this year at
an Amish farm. It was a lovely way to start our year with
19 members present and two visitors.
The fall season found us looking at our Ways and Means
projects for the coming year. It was decided once again
that our major projects would be the Nut Sales and the
Strawberry Festival.
The annual city wide Easter Egg Hunt is another of our
spring activities. Seeing the joy on the faces of the
children is a wonderful thing.
Gloria Long, our National Convention delegate and our
Alpha Province delegate, reported on both meetings. At
the Province meeting it was announced that our chapter
won 1st place for Total Golden Hand Fund and 1st place for
Golden Per Capita Award. Gloria did announce that our
chapter will co-chair the Alpha Province Convention in
2016 with the Theta Lambda chapter (Roachdale).
In May we presented the Wanda D. Miskinis Memorial
Scholarship to two recipients, Emily Back and Kay
Morgan. We wish these two young ladies every success.
A great big thank you goes to Brenda Brumfield, outgoing
president, for her tireless service during the last two years.
Our membership has grown almost 50%. She is leaving
big shoes to fill.
December continued to be very busy. We started the
month off with our annual Christmas dinner at the
Crawfordsville Country Club. Sixteen members along with
6 former members enjoyed a delightful evening of
fellowship and food. Members brought donations of
non-perishable items for the FISH Food Pantry and toys
for Operation Toy Box. Our philanthropy projects for
December began with the Santa Letter project and then
our annual Operation Toy Box distribution. Gloria Long
reported that we answered 90 Santa letters and distributed
toys to 83 children during Operation Toy Box.

The Winter has finally melted away and Spring has
arrived. Finally we get to enjoy some warmer
temperatures and some color. The newness of Spring has
jumpstarted the creative juices for the Sisters of Theta Mu
as we start to prepare for convention. The anticipation of
seeing everyone again and catching up is definitely on the
rise.
With Spring comes the realization that summer and
graduations are just around the corner. We have recently
received 7 applications for our annual scholarship. It is so
rewarding to read through the plans, hopes, and desires of
local youth and to know that we are helping to make
dreams of academic achievement come true. We will be
narrowing our selection down, and then we will present our
scholarship at the local high school awards assembly.

it when we raise enough money to support worthy

Since January, we have donated mid-year school supplies,
made a donation to our local Food Pantry, and in April,
we’ll contribute much-needed supplies to two area animal

Finally, finally it is spring in Indiana! Farewell winter cold
and snow! The Zeta Zeta chapter has helped beat the
winter blues by being active in a few projects. We held our
second largest fund raiser of the year by hosting a Trivia
Night in February. We had a record turn out with over 100
people in attendance. The event has been held for several
consecutive years and has grown in popularity and
attendance. All who attend have a great time.
In March, our club filled over 200 Easter baskets that the
local FOP distributed to elementary school kids. (See
photo on next page). We had quite the assembly line of
workers filling eggs, placing grass in the baskets, putting
goodies in the baskets and then wrapping the whole basket
in plastic wrap. It is amazing how quickly large projects
can be accomplished when a group works together!

In April we will be hosting our
3rd annual "Twenty Shades
of Grapes and Hops" wine
and craft beer tasting at a
local deli/bar. This has been
an easy event to coordinate
and everyone who attends
has a great time. After a long
winter, we all seem ready to
get out and socialize again!
Our president, Nancy Buser, had knee surgery the last of
February. She is doing very well and did preside at our
April meeting. We are very thankful that her surgery was
successful and that she is well down the road to recovery!
Finally, our club will be doing
the usual "year end" events
like hosting the Pledge Tea,
the Pay Off Card party,
selecting high school
scholarship winners and
wrapping up another year of
club activities.
We are also looking forward to our summer picnic pitch-in
at the home of Joanie Knapp, who is a wonderful
hostess! It is always such fun to fellowship with all of our
sisters and enjoy the delicious food! We certainly do have
wonderful cooks in this organization!

In June 2014, our chapter
partnered with Blue River

Each year our chapter gives a
$500 Scholarship to a graduating
senior from each of our 5 Shelby
County High Schools . The
Foundation will be handling
advertising this to the schools &
working with the counselors.
They will gather applications
based on our criteria for our
chapter., then Zeta Lambda will
decide who will receive for each
school and will present the
awards at their Awards Ceremonies. This partnership
should ensure that the name of Delta Theta Tau will live on
for many, many years to come.
The chapter moved on to a beautiful summer with chapter
and community projects underway or being discussed.
Before Easter the chapter helped spread the fun with
Bunny Fun Day for the students in pre-school through
grade 2 classes of Seneca Grade School. A giant Easter
bunny was there to share songs, fun and candy with the
kids.
As spring melted into summer, our annual flower sale
before Mother's Day was held. Beautiful hanging baskets
and flats of annuals and perennials were delivered and
placed on an eye appealing site on the main thoroughfare
through town. Good prep work by members had
everything ready for sales on Saturday morning. Crowds
were continuous , which made for good sales and a
successful sale was completed. A large basket of
flowering perennials was offered as a raffle which always
appeals to many of our customers.
Our community celebrated its 150th anniversary in June
and was extended a day to a 5-day event. New events for
adults and a game day for the youngsters were
offered. Our chapter decided to offer a raffle for a gift card
tree instead of having a food stand this year. A gift card
tree was used at our fall pancake breakfast and proved to
be welcomed by the community and also a good money
maker. A Welcomerburger always takes over the first night
and is the only food stand. Animals, bands, a good
carnival, remembrance of the World War 2 building of
landing ships, and tasty food bring people from the area to
celebrate with us.
High school scholarship applications and evaluation was
made and awards were presented to the winners at an
award assembly at the end of the school year. This year
we had eight $500 scholarships to present to graduates of
Seneca High School.
In July, Veanna served as Delegate at National Convention
in Vancouver, Washington July 9th – 13th. She was
accompanied by Marcia Swift & Doris Sanders. It was a
truly wonderful convention!
Sponsoring the 2014 Theta Province Convention was an
exciting experience for Zeta Lambda. Members worked
together, each bringing their special talents to the table –
the end result was magical for sure! Veanna served the
Convention as Province Chairman along with her duties as
President of the Chapter. She made us all very proud!
The chapter was also proud to bring in 4 new members at
our Province Convention: Tammy McDaniel, Michele
Richardson, Edie Keesling and Susan Taylor.
Immediately following the Province Convention, we had our
major fundraiser, the 42nd annual Gift & Hobby Show.
Members work very hard on this project every year, but it is
one of the most rewarding experiences that we can
celebrate as a team and continues to be a huge money
maker for us!
As the end of 2014 drew near, the chapter celebrated
Christmas together at High Point Apple Orchard in
Greensburg, Indiana.
Plans have been in the works for several months for
National Convention in Des Moines, IA. The chapter
hosted the "Little Bit of Denim" Welcome event to get
attendees in the mood for good meetings and events from
July 8-12. Chapter representatives looked forward to
attending and hosting the first event of the convention.
We had to cancel a couple of meetings at the first of the
year due to weather, but managed to celebrate our
Chapter’s 77th Birthday on March 17th followed by a very
successful Scrapbooking Event on March 28th.
Several gas cards and merchandise cards were given to
families that experienced health and/or fires in recent
months.
As our fiscal year draws to a close, a special thanks to our
dedicated officers:

After a cold, dreary, stay-in-doors winter, the Delta sisters
were treated to a party to top all parties ! It was held at a
local restaurant, in a private room, and the theme was
"Spring Cleaning." The long table, covered with a variety
of bright tablecloths, was full of every cleaning supply
known to man -- or woman. Three pages of cleaning
tips were given to each one attending, then we went "round
table" each telling of their own beauty tip or cleaning tip.
Lots of laughs and lots of great shared secrets. Each sister
went home with products, which were given as door prizes
and game prizes.

Young celebrate 50 years of service to their local chapter.
They all have thousands of volunteer hours which they
donated in many different ways to the community. They
have worked on many projects such as spaghetti suppers,
food booth at our county fair, worked gift shops at the Indy
37
“500” Race, Vera Bradley Bingos, and our latest project
The Delta Dash which is coming up April 18th. These three
very special ladies have given not only their time and work
to their local sorority, but also countless hours to our
community.
A dinner was held in their honor at Cricket Ridge in

boards were displayed
for each member which
brought back many
memories for the

FIFTY YEARS
Way back in nineteen sixty four
A walk through a very secret door,
Brought three beautiful souls to take a look
What has happened since could fill a book.
They learned about “Sisterly” love and that giving is good,
And pledged an oath to do what a good “Sister” should.
They learned what being a “DELT” is all about
And being loyal and true and stayed the route.
Fifty years! Oh where have they gone?
To the Fair, spaghetti suppers, and bingo they went along
To Cindy, Indy, Dallas and conventions galore
Where they found more fun than hard work in store.
Through all the ups and downs of this life
With “Sisters” to help they worked through the strife.
They did their part and pulled their weight
No matter what else they had on their plate.
Off to a meeting or off to the big 500 race
Never a stumble or a halt to their pace.
With a smile and a hug always they would go
To further the “DELT” cause with hearts all aglow.
To be a DELT “sister” is an honor you know
A woman among women with places to go.
They had “sister” friends from far and near
And your own “home girls” ever so dear.
So here we are with a rare celebration
To show our sincere love and admiration.
To our loyal DELT “sisters” Nettie, Wilma and Pat
It’s time to give you a tip of the hat.
So hats off to you our dear “Sister” friends
We have no regrets no need for amends.
For fifty years you have been true blue
Pat, Wilma, and Nettie we so dearly Delta Love You!

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Aletha
Mae Ragsdale Kinnett who passed away peacefully in the
home of her daughter on Sunday evening, February 1,
2015.
Aletha was a member of Epsilon Omega Chapter for 50
years, and served as an active member until 2012 when
she chose to become a Member at Large. She held many
offices in the chapter and capably served on many
committees. Aletha was a true inspiration to her Delta
sisters, who will miss her company as well as her sense of
humor and many kindnesses. She was born July 20, 1921,
in Parshall, Colorado. Aletha married J. Herbert Kinnett on
December 22, 1942. He preceded her in death on
February 2, 2004. Aletha was a homemaker and was
employed outside the home as well. She retired after over
25 years as a bookkeeper/receptionist. Aletha was also a
member of the First Christian Church of Crawfordsville for
38
over 60 years.
We extend our deepest sympathy to her family: daughter
Patricia (John) Hooper (active member of Epsilon Omega),
Crawfordsville, and son Michael (Sandy) Kinnett, Lebanon,
five grandchildren, twelve great-grandchildren, and three
great-great-grandchildren.

It is with much sadness that I share that Beth Corley’s
mother, Phyllis A. Koester Elliott passed away on February
10, 2015. Phyllis was a homemaker, and assisted her
husband at Koester’s Photography in Shelbyville for
several years. She loved music and singing. She enjoyed
singing for the residents of the nursing home. Phyllis loved
the Lord and spending time with her family and
grandchildren. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Beth
39
and her family.

Barbara Armstrong, on February 19. Barbara was an active
Delt for over 50 years, here in Winchester and in Elwood.
One of her greatest honors was to serve as the National
Editor of GRIT. She was also very active in community
affairs and her church.
Janice loved her family, God, church, country and Delta
Theta Tau Sorority. Janice was an active member for more
than 50 years. She served in every capacity of our local
sorority and was always there with a smile and her gentle
way of doing all she could. When you met Janice for the
first time you came away knowing you had a friend. Janice
showed us all how to love. We will deeply miss her
wisdom, humor, and her dedication to all she held dear.
Janice you are gone today but never forgotten.
