		+	Chapter Summary
		+	Summarize the previous calendar year, scholarships, group honors/awards, Convention awards, traditions, special events, philanthropic involvement, chapter goals, and how your chapter operations changed because of COVID-19 (e.g., how did it affect recruitment, initiation, etc. Were events/activities held virtually?). In January, the year began with meetings with the whole chapter regarding Greek Week, and recruitment practices. Chapter meetings were held on each Monday at 7 pm and the Council met at 6 pm before the chapter meetings.The chapter participated in watching a movie together in the house in January as a sisterhood event. The chapter held a sisterhood event in Febuary at Title boxing in East Lansing for sisters to join together in a kick boxing class. In Febuary, the chapter purchased and donated books, writing supplies, and tools to The Boys and Girls Club in East Lansing for part of our philanthropic involvement. In March, Pre-COVID, the chapter held a fundraiser at Foster Coffee to raise money for our philanthropy. There was also a Zumba class for seniors to attend. Pre-COVID, the chapter joined together for Greek Week, where we joined up with two fraternities to raise money for The Boys and Girls Club. Sisters participated in rehearsing for song fest which is a campus tradition where members in Greek life pair together and come up with dances for many weeks, before it was cancelled due to COVID. Sisters also were eager to donate and participate in The Greek Day of service in March, before it was cancelled, but continued to donate. The chapter also planned and organized Kappa Carinval which is our chapters Philantrhopy event that other sororities and fraterntiies come to at the Kappa house to raise money for our philanthropy, but was not able to happen due to COVID. The chapter had planned for a Mom’s Day at the end of March which was cancelled due to COVID. During the COVID-19 lockdown, the council continued to meet to work together and plan for a virtual semester and for the upcoming Fall semester. In May, the chapter sent in videos to make one large video for the seniors who were graduating, and gifted them a basket with gifts inside. During this time, the chapter had virtual meetings to discuss recruitment, rirtual training, and Bid Day for the fall semester. The chapter decided on a theme of Hello Kappa, and began preparing for recruitment by learning about how to talk with girls, the ritual songs of Kappa Kappa Gamma, and how to present yourself. In August, when the chapter returned to campus, we began preparing for recruitment by having several virtual meetings. With virtual recruitment, there came a lot of changes.The president and recruitment chairs came up with guidelines, rules, outfits, and advice for this new way of recruitment. The chapter prepared to use Zoom while in bump groups to talk to the girls who were in recruitment. The chapter also created videos from girls living in the house to show around their rooms and favorite parts of the house/Kappa. Our philanthropy chair also created a virtual scrapbook video to show off our philanthropy. In September, Kappa Kappa Gamma welcomed 43 new members. The process of recruitment went very smoothly. In October, our chapter worked with another fraternity Phi Gamma Delta in a competition to raise money for our philantrhopies, where we would all participate in a 5k race. The race was cancelled because of COVID, but thousands of dollars was raised. In November, the 43 new members were intiated virtually where alumnai joined as well. The intiation process lasted about an hour long and was done by the Chapter President, The Marshall, and The New Member Chair.The 150th anniversary of Kappa Kappa Gamma was celebrated with a virtual zoom call to share experiences In November, we also installed our new council for 2021.

		+
		+	Chapter Philanthropy
		+	What organization does the chapter support? This chapter supports Reading is Fundamental, Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation , and the Keifer Foundation
		+
		+
		+	Why did the chapter choose this organization? The chapter chose these organizations because we support all three philanthropies throughtout the year in different ways. We support The Kappa Kappa Gamma foundation because they encourage the sisters to get involved and fund aid to sisters and who need financial support. We support Reading is Fundamental because as sisters we can make a difference by helping underserved kids learn to read and provide them with books. We are able to provide kids with support with their literacy issues and provide proactive solutions. We support the Keifer Foundation because it is very personal to one of our own sisters whose family created the foundation. We support this foundation because it helps spread awareness for the dangers of distracted driving and this foundation brings the sisters together.
		+
		+
		+	Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
		+	How did your chapter include diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in your programming this year? (e.g., adding a DEI officer, philanthropy events, social media awareness campaign, chapter training, etc.). We included diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatuves in our programming this year by having a diversity, equity, and inclusion chairwoman on our council. She will be working alongside her committee of members from each grade and class in the chapter to bring the chapter closer. She will be having conversations and holding meetings regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion. She is coming up with ideas for educational lessons for the chapter. We also participate in the campus community programs regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion.

		+
		+	Sesquicentennial Celebration
		+	How did your chapter celebrate Kappa's 150th anniversary? Share what you have done this year. Our chapter celebrated Kappa’s 150th anniversary by having a zoom meeting with alumi and current members of the chapter to celebrate Kappa Kappa Gamma and share our experiences and the memories we have made. We also posted on our social media accounts with current members and alumni sharing our best memories of Kappa Kappa Gamma, why we love Kappa, and what Kappa has brought to our lives. People were able to speak about the friends they have made and the opportunities it has brought them.

	Overall, our chapter is a tight knit group of amazing and intelligent women who care about each other and want to continue the success of our chapter as a whole. We always support each other and push each other to reach our highest potential as individuals and as a chapter. Although the Delta Gamma chapter has faced some changes this past year, we have successfully accomplished any goal we set and have overcome many challenges that are thrown our way. The changes and challenges we have faced have made us even closer and stronger as a chapter. We all hope to continue down this wonderful path through 2017 and are so excited for what the year will bring.

		+	This past year our chapter has been able to grow through many barriers we faced. We had many fun sisterhood events including renting out the movie theaters to see A Star is Born and Hustlers. We also had sisterhoods that included boutique stores coming to the house and allowing girls to shop! In the spring our philanthropy chairs organized a great volunteering opportunity where as a chapter we were able to go to a local boys and girls club and read with them and do crafts for the afternoon. Our chapter faced challenges with officer transitions as most of council was changed throughout the summer. Much of the first month of school was trying to regroup and organize to make sure recruitment went well. Our recruitment chair did an excellent job making sure Kappa values were apparent throughout recruitment. The membership selection process also went much smoother than in years past. In October our chapter participated in safe Halloween which is put on by all of Michigan State's Greek life. This year in November we had a new philanthropy event that was extremely popular. Our philanthropy chairs created Kappa Arcade and rented out a local arcade in Lansing for the evening. The event was a huge success and they were able to raise around $1,500! Also in November we initiated our new members into Kappa Kappa Gamma! Initiation went smoothly, we as a chapter definitely have areas to work on regarding our ritual practice but I think we are on the right track! Attendance was high at initiation which is good as we as a chapter sometimes struggle with out attendance. As we move into next year as a chapter we are looking to have another successful recruitment, which I think we will as we have an awesome team for next year! We are looking to improve our ritual to make sure everyone in the chapter is knowledgeable regarding ritual. Lastly, our main goal coming into the year is to have very smooth officer transitions.
		+
		+	There haven't been any drastic changes on campus other than we got a new university president. They are working on modernizing the campus so there has been lots of construction. Our chapter is growing, we had a large new member class which is amazing. We also have been working very hard as a chapter to work on getting off warning of probation. We have made strides with our attendance which I think has been improving. We have plans to continue to work on our ritual and improve our knowledge of it.
		+
		+	RIF. Literacy and being able to read is a fundamental. Going through life without the ability to read can put severe hardships on an individual. We want to work in the community to promote reading and improving the numbers of individuals who know how to read.
		+
		+	To celebrate founders day we had a pizza party and cake before chapter. Our chapter all came to the house and ate together before we had our council meeting and our chapter meeting.
