Altruism
“Around the world, members combine their energies and talents to enrich their lives and the lives of others through thousands of heart-warming community based altruistic projects. Because of these projects, it is a brighter day…” ~Alpha Delta Kappa Handbook IL Lamda
The second grade students of Ashleigh Malisia call them Aunt Judy Books. This is their name for the books donated to the class in honor of Judy Addicks, long time member of IL Lambda and Ashleigh’s aunt. Judy entered Omega chapter in 2021. The sisters chose to remember her in this way because of her love of reading and celebrating life.
