Mom's Association

The IlliDell’s Mom’s Association, consisting of all the mothers of the men of IlliDell, provides support throughout the strenuous academic year. For this reason, the men of IlliDell find it as their duty to provide nothing less than the best for them on Mom’s Weekend. The mothers spend the weekend with their sons at the house and are fed the best of meals with much free time throughout the day to spend with their sons. On Sunday, the mothers hold their annual Mom’s Association meeting to discuss different activities in the upcoming year.
