In H.E.R. Own Words about the Collaboration with Nassau Alumnae Chapter: “NAC always showed us things we could do better. Everything we needed, someone in NAC had the solution and was willing to help us. They taught us to be better and diligent sorors. We learned professionalism from them. They have superb programs and have done so much for the community. We all aspire to be just like them and do superb programs”. Kara Reese, Pi Tau In H.E.R. Own Words about Collaboration with Pi Tau Chapter: “Pi Tau and NAC bonded to form a “dynamic duo” because of our willingness to mentor them, and their desire to be mentored. We value them as young women in Delta with a great deal of talent. Regardless of being a collegiate or an alumnae soror, we are all sisters working toward the common goal of service and I cherish the fact we did so many great things side by side”. Angela R.
