Note: We encourage anyone who wishes to run for an office to do so. We also ask that interested members seriously consult their semester and yearly schedules before deciding to run for any office. Delta of Texas is an organization with potentially 400 active members. The needs and interests of the Delta membership can vary greatly. Thus, constant communication and feedback within Delta leadership and between Delta leadership and Delta members is vital to the survival of this organization. If you cannot assuredly attend the majority of pre-scheduled membership meetings and will be unable to devote your personal time to fulfilling all the duties of the office for which you are nominated, please do not accept the nomination. Thank you.
