Kappa Alumni @ evening social

On March 28th 2008 Kappa Delta Phi Brothers and Kappa Delta Phi National Affiliated Sorority Sisters met in Portland Maine to perform community service and for a social meeting.

Chapters represented

• Gamma Alumni
• Eta Alumni
• Iota Alumni
• Nu Alumni
• Xi Alumni
• Omicron Alumni
• Chi Alumni
• Alpha Alpha Actives
• Alpha Gamma Alumni
• Kappa Eta Alumni
• Kappa Iota Alumni
• Kappa Upsilon Alumni
• Kappa Chi Alumni

We met at couple of locations and then trekked to Chi chapter alumnus, David Jones. Dave Jones was seriously injured a year ago during a skiing accident, but due to his perseverance he has made incredible strides in recovery. This is not surprising as that he has been described as Captain America by his Chi Chapter alumni.

Kappa Chi Alumnus Sister Jill Bivona arranged the community service for Brother Dave Jones. They knew each other during their active days when Dave was an active Brother of Chi chapter and Jill was an active Sister of Kappa Chi, located at Southern New Hampshire University.

The crew of Kappa Delta Phi Alumni Brothers, Kappa Delta Phi National Affiliated Sorority Alumnae Sisters and Active Brothers from our UMaine Colony helped Dave clean sweep his basement, handle some over growth in his yard, and clean swept the upstairs of his house.

While Brother Scott Moody (Xi chapter) and Sister Nicola Reis-Sedgwick (Kappa Chi Chapter) whipped up some serious grub for the hard working teams.

Brother Vinnie DeMambro (Eta Chapter) was the brother of the day, installing two sets of banisters and re-doing an exterior wall and other construction around the house, Brother DeMambro operates a construction company located in Bar Harbor, Maine.

The active brothers of Alpha Alpha colony (with a little help and supervision from alumni brothers from a couple of different chapters) were set to some serious lifting, carrying a lot of heavy weight from the basement to the pickup trucks making runs to the local dump.

Brother Scott Cranston (Nu Chapter) was the master of yard shrubbery and tackled some serious overgrowth. We are happy to report Scott still has all of his digits and did one heck of a job.

The alumna Sisters from Kappa Chi, Kappa Iota and Kappa Eta turned their critical eye to the overflowing wardrobe of Dave Jones and performed a “what not to wear” episode before our very eyes. Once the “what not to wear” episode was over they changed channels to “Flip this house” and they transformed the upstairs into an area any top notch bed and breakfast would be proud to own.

Yard work, Basement and Upstairs transformations and construction being completed we turned our attentions to the food and to wishing Alumni Sister Victoria DeMambro (Kappa Eta) a very happy birthday.

We then broke camp for the day and returned to our assorted hotel rooms to rest and get ready for the evening social.

Kappa Eta Sister Jennifer D’Appollonio secured our evening social at Foreplay Sports Bar in Portland Maine. The Owner of Foreplay Sports Bar is married to Kappa Iota Alumni Sister Chandra Palian. They were extremely gracious hosts to us closing off the upper level for our social.

Omicron Alumni Association News

The Omicron Alumni Association welcomed its oldest member, Brother Tony Botto to the OAA this year. Tony, along with Brother Anthony Brescia, are considered to be the original "Founding Brothers" of Omicron Chapter in 1961. Our current rolls have Brothers from every decade of Omicron's existence at North Adams State College. We currently have 20 Brothers in Good Standing and have contact with 90+ Brothers on a regular basis. We are planning on holding our first annual OAA meeting this coming March prior to the April Convention. Brothers come from all over the Northeast; 11 in Massachusetts, 4 in New Hampshire, 1 in New York, 1 in Rhode Island, 1 in New Jersey, and 1 in Maryland.

Special thanks to Brother Richie Talieri who opened up his restaurant in Boston, "Anchovies" to Omicron Brothers on October 21st to watch the patriots / Dolphins game. As we used to say in North Adams - a good time was had by all. Richie made pizza (it was free, thanks again Richie) and opened the bar to the Brothers that joined him at his place.

We are in the process of creating a Brother's Tree to trace the history of Omicron Chapter through the Big/Little heritage from the beginning in 1961. We have a lot of information but are missing some crucial years, especailly those of the 1970's and earlier. If you have any information about Omicron pledge classes or can provide information about Big and Little Brothers please send it to me at kdp-oaa@comcast.net.

Fraternally,

Tony DeMarco
