Trip to Headquarters
The new baby turtles of Delta Zeta will have a real treat coming their way. A trip to tour the Delta Zeta Museam at Miami University, Oxford campus has been scheduled for the fall. The Victorian house that became Delta Zeta’s home was built in 1884. The Sorority took residence in the Victorian mansion in 1983. The solid brick structure serves several functions. As National Headquarters, it functions as the service center of the Sorority in all conducting administrative work. As the National Historical Museum, it gives secure and ample room for the treasures that tell the history of the Sorority. The building also provides meeting facilities for National Council, committees, training and small conferences.
