by HNN Staff
Huntington (HNN) —
Twelve new members were initiated into Delta Omicron
International Music Fraternity at Marshall University Sunday, May 1, 2005,
thereby reactivating the university's chapter.
"We are always pleased when one of our long-standing chapters gets a new
lease on life," said Dr. Jonny Ramsey of Denton, Texas, the international
president of the fraternity. "I know these new members are looking forward
to being collegiate members of Delta Omicron."
New Delta Omicron members, all undergraduates at Marshall University, are
Minna Aminzadeh from Carrollton, Texas, Melanie Baldwin from Westerville,
Ohio; Jessica Bethel from Circleville, Ohio; Angela Crum, from Union, W.
Va.; Deanna Holderby, from Proctorville, Ohio; Amy Holliday, from New
Martinsville, W. Va.; Callie Huff, from Chesapeake, Ohio; Holly Linn, from
Huntington, W.Va.; Meredith McCoy, from Scottown, Ohio; Christina Riley,
from Union, W. Va.; Ashli Spinks, from Lewisburg, W.Va.; and Nikki Winter,
from Logan, W.Va.
The group is advised by Dr. Vicki Stroeher, a music faculty member at
Marshall and an alumna member of Delta Omicron. Assisting Stroeher with the
formal, members-only initiation ceremony were Susan Tams, treasurer of the
Delta Omicron Foundation Inc., and a staff member at Marshall; Beverly
Miller, Patricia Green, and Harriet Tucker, all of Huntington, W. Va.; and
Lee Ann Lykens of Beckley, W.Va.
After the ceremony, several of the new members performed short musical
numbers, including a flute duet and solo, saxophone trio, and a trumpet
duet.
Delta Omicron is a professional fraternity in the field of music with
collegiate chapters established throughout the United States and abroad. The
fraternity was founded in 1909 at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music by
three undergraduate students.
