Trick or Treat at the House
We have our second Philanthropy Event, Cookies and Castles, coming up on November 30, during which gingerbread castles, hot chocolate, and other festive treats are made. The chapter would love donations from the Alumnae Chapter to help us host the event! Donations such as hot chocolate or gingerbread building kits would be greatly appreciated! Monetary donations would also be appreciated to allow for decorations at the event. Similar to Candy Bar, we can create a sign-up sheet closer to the event to further facilitate donations. However, we are already soliciting donations, so no need to wait for the sign-up sheet. 

Thanks! Torie

Sisters in the News

2021 Komen Dallas More than Pink Walk
The Komen race was full of activities for breast cancer awareness. We had quite
a few Deltas walking and running. 
One group walked in memory of Mandy Heilers.One of our sisters, Karen Martin
( Baylor ) is a 20 year survivor who joined the race. She proudly rocks the pink survivor shirt – congrats Karen!
Kimberly Cobb ( Texas A&M ) recently started a hair claw clip business with the engraving on the clips of, "thankful i can". 
The idea for this clip collection began while walking alongside her mom after she was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. Although her secondhand observations are far different from someone personally going through this battle, she is still able to experience a glimpse of the hardship and pain. She witnessed what it is like for a woman to lose her hair. These clips stand as reminders to pray for our family and friends going through battles against cancer and to be thankful we have hair to put up or pull back with a clip ("thankful i can" clip back my hair). Let the clip serve as a reminder each time you see or use it to be grateful for your hair and health. 
A portion of the profits go toward cancer research, including to St. Jude! She is grateful for all of the support from her Tri Delta sisters through this experience. 
She says - “thankful i can” share this with you all.
