Tove (Bichel) Thomas ’70 was elected over the summer as the Kappa Delta Sorority National Vice President-Alumnae. This is a great honor and responsibility to be elected to the sorority’s National Council, all of her Illinois Wesleyan Kappa Delta sisters are so very proud of her.
Here is a photo of Tove at the National Convention where she was elected. She is on the far right in the photo. Pictured with her on the left of the photo is Illinois Wesleyan alumna, Julie Blackwood Totten ’95 who currently volunteers on the National Leadership Team of Kappa Delta as an Accounting Specialist. Beside her is Halley Shanley ’18, current Illinois Wesleyan student and chapter President of Kappa Delta on campus. They are pictured with the Illinois Wesleyan Omicron Chapter flag for Kappa Delta, which includes the IWU seal.
 
Congratulations, Tove!
