House Corporation
The Gamma Iota House Corporation is a board of alumnae and sisters who make decisions about the management of the chapter house. Our house has been a centerpiece of sorority life since 1955 and has been maintained with care and appreciation for over sixty years. Areas of the House Corporation responsibility include employment of the staff, long-term finances, insurance, and maintenance. It is often referred to as House Corps.
All sisters contribute funds as a member of Alpha Delta Pi to help with the upkeep of the Chapter House. Alpha members pay a one-time House Corporation membership fee which entitles sisters to lifetime membership in the Corporation.
House Corporation meetings are held no less than four times a year, including an Annual Meeting typically, in April. All sisters are welcome to attend House Corps meetings. Alumnae are informed about the Annual Meeting and are encouraged to attend.
The chapter president, property manager and finance vice president serve on the House Corporation Board. The property manager serves a critical role in acting as a liaison among the house director, sisters and the House Corporation.
