Old Dominion Alumnae Club of Alpha Gamma Delta

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!  We hope that you have a wonderful holiday full of love and gratitude! 

Honors of Epsilon Pi are bestowed upon members who have given faithful, continued and outstanding service to the Fraternity. The Honors of Epsilon Pi were created over time throughout the history of the Fraternity to recognize the remarkable efforts and contributions of alumnae volunteers. The Old Dominion Alumnae Club of Alpha Gamma Delta is currently seeking Honors of Epsilon Pi committee members to review the Records of Service Forms for all current members of the alumnae club and evaluate each identified member’s quality of service. If you're interested, please contact Permanent Secretary Kat Paskaris at kpaskaris@gmail.com .

Congratulations to Lisa-Anne Moore on becoming a published author - a dream of hers since she was a child! Lisa wrote a short story entitled "Starcrossed" that is being published in an anthology of Urban Fantasy Noir. The book is being published by Charlie Brown and includes authors like Paul Ellis, Neal Pollack, Terry Mixon, and Richard Raynor. In all, there are 14 stories.

Many practice the art, but the bands of rogues who stalk the city with profit and power as their only motive use the magic as it was never intended. “Dirty Magick: Los Angeles” is the new urban fantasy anthology from Lucky Mojo Press. Focusing on the intersection of two genres (fantasy and detective/crime), this collection focuses on the place where magic survives and flourishes in the concrete heartbeat of the Hollywood. Here are the ne'er-do-wells who use magic to comm
