| Welcome Back! Welcome to a new year at IUP, and a new year in Delta Omicron. I hope everyone has enjoyed their summer, whatever you've been doing, and that the break has helped you to prepare for another year in Indiana. DO members, It's almost time for another great semester at IUP and a new promising year of Delta Omicron. This year shows much potential and is full of possibilities that can be accomplished with the committed and dedicated membership that this year is already presenting. I hope everyone had a great summer and that is has helped them prepare for the year to come. Any questions or comments feel free to email at [email protected] Love in DO, Christina Crivelli Hi everyone! I hope everyone had a restful summer, but it's almost over, and soon we'll be back at school. This year shows tremendous promise. I'm very excited and I know that from talking to a bunch of you that you are too. Enjoy the last few weeks, and i'll see you soon. Love in DO, Karen Hamil |
