House Corporation Annual Meeting Recap

We had a great group of alumnae turn out for our House Corporation Annual Meeting and Ice Cream Social.  Although we didn't get to meet as many collegiate this year, we met some new alumnae in the area and we want to welcome them!  After a n informal alumnae chapter meeting, the Board of the House Corporation presented the annual reports regarding the state of the chapter house at 828 E. Washington.  We want to thank the board members--including Leslie Soule, Karen Daubenberger, Sharon Kay Stang, Jane Harbit, Elsie Foerstner--for their dedication and hard work maintaining our beautiful Chapter House.

We also want to welcome the new House Director, Karen Hollen.  Karen was raised in Aledo, Illinois and earned her Bachelor of Science in Home Economics from Michigan State University.  Karen  most recently worked ten years as Housing Director at Alpha Delta Pi Sorority at the University of Michigan, but was ready to move back closer to family with a brother living in Des Moines and a sister in the Chicago area. Karen is very friendly and loves working with college students. We are extremely happy to have her join our family.  Please stop in and say hello to Karen when you visit the house.
