At the present time there are three active chapters of Delta Omegag Alpha in Kirksville, Beta in Des Moines, and Gamma in Los Angeles. Prominent field members include Dr. Louisa Burns, Dr. Gertrude I-Ielmecke, vice-president of the national American Osteopathic Association, and Dr. Pearl Thompson of St. Louis Me t' L l l ' ' ' I e ings are ie d each Monday even1ng at the Business and Professional Women's Club Rooms, which were the first Delt Rooms .
