Q. What's an Aunt Hannah?
The Aunt Hannah program is a fun and
exciting new way to get involved with our chapter collegians (Zeta Xi
and Zeta Nu). As an Aunt Hannah, you will be paired up with a
collegian for the school year. You are encouraged to support your
"niece" -- i.e., meeting for coffee, going to the movies, sending
midterm and final exam care packages, or making periodic phone calls.
Contact Meredith McCrorie for more information on the Aunt Hannah
program.
