Pot-luck Dinner

Leadership/Scholarship
Ask someone from your community group you are doing volunteer work with to come in and talk to the chapter about the cause. For instance invite a local health clinic volunteer to come visit a Chapter meeting and discuss AIDS. Not only will it energize the Brothers to continue participating in your possible AIDS related service projects (leadership) it will also teach them about a very serious virus that affects us all (scholarship).
Delta Alpha Chapter - Karen's Walk
Karen's Walk1 is a 5K Run/Walk that sponsors heart failure research in memory of Karen Decker. Delta Alpha established the Karen Decker Cardiomyopathy Fund at the University of Rochester Medical Center after a friend of the fraternity passed away from postpartum cardiomyopathy, a form of heart failure. The chapter brings in guest speakers from the medical community at University of Rochester as part of a lecture event to better inform the public about cardiomyopathy and the research being done to find a cure.
