The Delt housemother should take an active part in the housemothers club on campus and in all other associations in which her participation will benefit the chapter and the Fraternity. She should serve as an active member in the Delt mother s club. If such an organization does not exist, she should undertake to organize one. The housemother must be a joiner if she is to fulfill her public relations function, one of the most important functions she can render to the chapter. The scope of these activities may range from a single Mother s Day dinner to a full weekend of entertainment.
Some chapters turn the Shelter over to the mothers for a weekend.
The mothers elect their own officers and enjoy themselves in their new associations and surroundings. The housemother should cooperate with this group in planning its activities. The housemother should arrange social gatherings, with the cooperation of the social committee, honoring special groups or commemorating special occasions. Some housemothers, for example, plan and give a special dinner honoring the seniors in the chapter, a dinner for the benefit of the new pledges, and a dinner honoring the incoming and outgoing chapter officers. The housemother may want to see that cards are given to honor each member and pledge on his birthday.
