About

The Delaware Area Alumnae Chapter is one of the newest formal Alumnae Chapters in the Great Lakes Alumnae Area.  The chapter was formally recognized at the 2006 Delta Zeta National Convention.

The purpose of the Delaware Area Alumnae group is to provide a platform for networking, social, and community involvement for Delta Zeta alumnae in Delaware and the surrounding areas.  The Delaware Area Alumnae will also serve as a means of support for the Alpha Rho Chapter at Ohio Wesleyan University and the Zeta Kappa Chapter at Ohio Northern University.

Through our Community Involvement coordinator Melissa Corcoran, we have made contacts with at least one community organization, the Delaware Speech and Hearing Center.  If you have suggestions for other local community organizations to form a partnership with, contact Melissa.

Dues: We are now collecting dues!  A minimum $25.00 donation is requested for payment of your annual dues.  For information about where to send your check, contact Anne Pistone, Treasurer.

Who

All Delta Zeta alumnae in Delaware and the surrounding areas (even from as far as the Marysville, Marion, and Galion areas) are welcome!
