One more pre-post, and then we should be back to live Daily Deacs tomorrow. As we start the new semester, thought it might be fun to look at it via the old ABCs. These suggestions are for you, Deac families. Always ask yourself “What is […]
Happy New Year, Deac families! I am back in the office, but in a training class the next two days, so this is a pre-post. Sorority recruitment is about to begin. Current sorority sisters (already in the group) arrive back today to prepare, and then […]
