+ | The University of Massachusetts Amherst has seen some changes so far in this decade. From the beautification of the Southwest part of campus to making resident halls and classrooms more eco-friendly, the university is seeing improvements. The town of Amherst has been working to clean up the town by allowing stricter police enforcement to maintain public safety. Following the loss of the New England Patriots at Superbowl XLVI, the police reacted to the riots on the UMass Campus. This riot made national news, as students were arrested for gathering in large groups and taunting police officials. Meanwhile, the women of Delta Nu were welcoming the Leadership Consultant sent from National. | ||

+ | For the 2011-2012 academic year, Delta Nu became the largest chapter on campus as well as the largest in Delta Nu history with 84 members. The sisters residing at 32 Nutting Ave have grown in the fields of recruitment, scholarship and athletics. More importantly, the sisters are the closest they have been compared to recent years. Delta Nu took on its biggest pledge class of 24 women in the fall of 2011, making them above quota set by Panhel. Highlights of the new member period included Bid Day, Initation, and Good Morning Sister.The chapter also had a great Senior Week with senior dinners and senior spotlights. | ||

+ | In Spring of 2012, Delta Nu raised over $2,000 at the Annual Pink Party! Pink Party raises money to support Susan G. Komen for the Cure to Breast Cancer. Every year the sisters host a Barbeque and raffle off great prizes like Red Sox tickets and gift cards to Amherst's local eateries. At this years fundraiser, the sisters also hosted a Trunk Show, with parts of the proceeds going to the philanthropy. And on this day, we wear pink. | ||
