New Forum

Are you interested in more frequent news and updates?

Our chapter primarily communicates to members via three platforms: the Crescent Catch-Up, our private Facebook group, and our public website.

We are adding a fourth option that will allow sisters (especially those who do not use Facebook) to receive members-only news on a more frequent basis. You can customize how to access the news.

Please go to https://www.gpbstl.org/ and click on Forum in the menu header, then follow instructions for signing up and accessing the members-only section.

Need tech help? Just email jennwood19@gmail.com or text/call 314-604-1521 and I'll get you completely set up for email alerts without you needing to do anything at all.

Collegiate Chapter Updates

SUPPORT ACADEMIC EFFORTS AT ZETA DELTA

Zeta Delta is looking for alumnae sisters to support their wonderful academic endeavors. In this last year, the chapter midterm D/F list has been cut in half, and 62% of the chapter is making a 3.5 or higher GPA!  During Greek Week 2022 the chapter was just short of winning the overall academics award.
 

Please consider supporting this academic program at any level you can.
Donations can be made via Venmo @Deanna-Heuring

(the chapter cannot have a Venmo account, but the donations will be sent to them directly after they are collected)
 

Contact Deanna Heuring with questions

or if you'd like to donate using another payment method
