Announcements
July 1, 2010: While membership fees will remain unchanged for the 2010-2011 fiscal year, we have had to increase prices on some merchandise and shipping options due to increased transportation charges. Beginning July 1, overnight shipping will increase to $50. The cost of plaques will increase nominally from $30 to $35.

IRS notice: As part of the new IRS system of oversight for subsidiaries, all our chapters have been mailed requests to file an electronic postcard (form 990-N). According to IRS representatives, you DO NOT have to file this form, as we file a 990 covering all our chapters. You can disregard this notice.
Omicron Delta Epsilon is proud to be a member of ACHS
