I have been going thru old "records" and came across some Theta memorabilia.  Is there someone who is collecting/archiving this?

It includes:

1. 1960 sorority photo of sisters/pledges

2. Theta Phlyer newsletter, May 1963 that has a message from the editor (Kathy Gardella; House News, Officers, A letter from alumnae Secy (Ruth Jahrstorfer), Rush Party article (Castle of Royal Purple), as list of Alumnae class secretaries from 1930-1962; a president's letter (Joan Campagna); and an article "At our school.  NEAT TO READ !!! 

3.Song Book (1960?)

4. Pledge invitation and formal initiation on Theta stationary

5. 1961 Holly Banquet invite

6. Photo of sorority house

7. News article of 103 Pledging sororities (1961)

8. Purple and Gold "necklace with theta Phi emblem (probably worn by pledges)

Things are great here in Florida.  Paul (my significant other) and I have been doing a lot of traveling, enjoying the amenities of our 55+ community (Pennbrooke Fairways- that include 27 holes of golf, restaurant, swimming pools, fitness centers, etc.).  Our families are doing well…  So blessed!  What more could we ask for??  Hope all is well with you and that you too are enjoying life!

Yours in Theta, Jean Valentine Ward '64

Greetings from Roni Cojac Mintz

As the years pass I feel it is important to send wishes to people who help form who I am today.

My years in Theta and at New Paltz were very formative times and became an integral part of how I developed as a teacher, wife, mother, hospital manager, volunteer and grandmother of 4 teenage boys. 

Happy 2019 to the class of 1965 and to all.
