KappaTalk members, actives and alumni, Brothers from Kappa Delta Phi and Sisters from Kappa Delta Phi National Affiliated Sorority perform community service and have a social.

It was a hot time at the Old Town YMCA.

The KT Meet of `08 brought 30 brothers and sisters from 15 chapters across New England to Old Town, Maine for a large scale philanthropy event that involved giving a fresh coat of paint to several of the YMCA’s large meeting rooms.

Members of Kappa Delta Phi, Inc. and Kappa Delta Phi, NAS took part in the event, held on Sept. 27.

“These rooms encompass the child care program of the YMCA,” said Taryn Beaumont of Kappa Lambda chapter, who organized the project with Samm Stewart of Kappa Eta chapter. “Brothers and sisters devoted their time and energy to this project throughout the day, climbing on ladders and painting everything from walls to bulletin boards to cubbies to make the YMCA look brand new.”

Said Samm: “As brothers and sisters of Kappa Delta Phi, Inc and Kappa Delta Phi, NAS, we pride ourselves on performing philanthropy events such as these, as it is the foundational element on which our organization is built.”

The event was followed by a social event hosted by Jennifer "Veggie" D'Appollonio at her home in Howland, ME. A great time was had by all!
A warm thanks is also extended to YMCA of Old Town for allowing us into their home and supporting us in this project.

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
