Desert Alumnae Association
Our Interest Groups are an important part of the Desert Kappa experience. These smaller groups provide an opportunity for members to become better acquainted while pursuing their favorite activities. The chairman of each group will happily add you to their email list so you will be notified of exact dates, times and locations. All are encouraged to participate by signing up for the groups that interest you.

Also stay tuned for another "Monmouth Duel" with our Pi Phi Alum - and how about a couple of foursomes in February with the Senior Olympic groups - and don't forget the nine at Oasis on Play Day in March.
