Learning |
Serving |
We seek to learn at every chapter meeting from each other and from our guests. We look forward to dynamic programs in our inaugural year as we consider teaching and learning "outside the box."
|
In 2021, members of Beta Beta collected and donated books to an elementary school in Sardis, MS, and to Little Free Libraries around the Oxford area.
In the fall of 2021, members assembled calm-down boxes for first-year teachers in the chapter's area. In the 2022-2024 biennium, we are collecting food for Water Valley School's version of Love Packs in conjunction with Water Valley Junior Auxiliary. |

We are leaders in our schools and communities who want to create positive change.

One visit to an Alpha Delta meeting and I was hooked. The members are so inquisitive. No guest speaker finishes a presentation without a full question and answer session at the end. In addition, the fellowship with other members and the worthy service project are key elements to the group. -- Virge Cornelius, Beta Beta member
