HOLIDAYGREETINGS

GrandPresidentAmyValdez(BetaIota)gp@phideltachi.org

Brothers,

As the end of the year approaches, I know many different events, both spiritual or religious, and tradition based, are being celebrated in many different ways. What I hope for each of you is that you are able to celebrate what is special to you in a meaningful way. For many of us, this season is a time of exchanging gifts and appreciating each other. Here are some gift suggestions which I think will serve you well…

To your enemy, forgiveness.

To an opponent, tolerance.

To a friend, your heart.

To a patient, exceptional care.

To our communities, service.

To every Brother, a good example.

To all, charity.

To yourself, respect.

These gifts are not only important now, but should be a state of mind throughout the year. For when you truly cherish peace and goodwill and can be plenteous in mercy, you give yourself the very best gift! I wish I could be with all of you to celebrate, but that will have to wait until Grand Council. Until then,

This is my wish for you: peace of mind, prosperity through the year, happiness that multiplies, health for you and yours, fun around every corner, energy to chase your dreams, joy to fill your holidays! -- D.M. Dellinger

Happy Holidays and a Very Happy New Year,

Amy Valdez

Greetings Brothers,

I was reflecting on the past year of Collegiate Affairs and realized very quickly that I have much to be thankful for…

I am truly blessed to work with talented caring people that volunteer their time to lend a hand to our brothers and chapters across the land. Our organization grows stronger every day with their help. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than to see chapters and colonies progress and succeed in achieving their goals after having worked with regional officers, colony coordinators, project directors, and faculty advisors. Their service is invaluable and I cannot thank each of them enough for their time and effort. I would like to thank each of the following Brothers for working together with me and for their service to Phi Delta Chi in 2012:

Lastly, I am thankful to be serving you as Grand Vice President of Collegiate Affairs. I would not be successful without your support and I appreciate the encouragement and thanks you have given me along the way. The experience thus far has been rewarding both personally and professionally. I am looking forward to another fabulous year in Collegiate Affairs. Happy holidays Brothers.
