	The 2020 year for the Delta Tau chapter is a year we should be very proud of. A year unlike most, brought us closer together than ever before and has helped us reflect on who we are as a chapter. We always strive to improve as a chapter, and it is clear to see that we are making massive steps towards creating an even better future for the Delta Tau chapter. This year hasn’t been the easiest, but the work that every single member has put into this chapter will help to make us stronger than ever before.

 Brett Chody, our New Member Chair did an amazing job welcoming all of our new members into the Delta Tau chapter throughout the year with a Rowdeo themed bid day and fun events to help the newest members get to know each other. After having to suddenly return home due to Covid-19, Madison Dinsmore, our Marshal was able to still have an initiation ceremony for our new members via zoom. Together as a chapter we were able to partake in wonderful education nights where we discussed a range of topics from mental health to how to nail an interview! Madison House, our education chair not only did an amazing job bringing in great speakers but also going above and beyond to highlight all of our amazing seniors throughout the year.
 Our Treasurer, Camilla Holmsen had the difficult task of handling finances and returning dues after the pandemic, she was able to work with the board to create the best strategy in order to do so. It was a confusing process, but Camilla was able to adapt and work quickly to get to a proper solution! Katherine Klausner, the Vice President of Standards did a great job creating fun sisterhood events for our chapter throughout the year. From something as small as sister shout outs at the beginning of chapter or as big as tie-dye events involving the whole chapter, Kate did not fail to foster a warm and sisterly environment! Our attendance did see improvements over the 2020 year and our Secretary, Gurnoor Gill, was able to implement a new QR code attendance system, making attendance tracking far more efficient.
 During the end of our academic year in May, the Black Lives Matter movement took over America after the killing of George Floyd. This movement was a massive wake up call for the entire Greek life community. Our chapter took a deeper dive to see what changes we needed to make both internally and externally in order to make changes to the systematic racism that has been deeply rooted in the Greek system since its existence. Our chapter had serious and emotional conversations where sisters discussed areas in which we need to make massive changes in this chapter. Collectively as a chapter we worked into the summer to create an action plan to follow in order to create lasting change in the Delta Tau chapter and across USC’s Greek row. We created a new position on chapter council, the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) chair which will be led by Katherine Price and Sophia Ceniza. We are so excited to see what strategies they will implement in order to foster a more inclusive environment in the Delta Tau Chapter as well as how we as a chapter can help foster change in the real world.
 The 2020 year for the Delta Tau chapter is a year we should be very proud of. A year unlike most, brought us closer together than ever before and has helped us reflect on who we are as a chapter. We always strive to improve as a chapter, and it is clear to see that we are making massive steps towards creating an even better future for the Delta Tau chapter. This year hasn’t been the easiest, but the work that every single member has put into this chapter will help to make us stronger than ever before. We can’t wait to see the lasting effects the 2020 year will have on the Delta Tau Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma!

-From chapter’s History Report: Scholarship, group honors/awards, traditions, special events, changes on campus or within chapter, overall nature of the chapter, chapter goals, challenges and how they were overcome, etc.:
+has been quite a remarkable year for the Delta Tau chapter. This year has been a transformative mark for our chapter. 2020 has brought us an amazing new pledge class, the start of new philanthropy events, and strong sisterhood bonds. Both the Covid-19 pandemic as well as the Black Lives Matter movement have had a massive effect on our chapter. Navigating through these perplexing issues has been an emotional but truly amazing experience. Our sisterhood has come together stronger than ever before and the effects of our conversations and actions will revolutionize the chapter for years to come.

		+	==Highlights of 2018==
		+
		+	The Delta Tau chapter has had an outstanding 2018. The year was filled with an amazing new pledge class, that was only half the size, academic achievements and growing sisterhood bonds. The 2018 chapter council worked hard throughout the year to plan an effective Kamp Kappa and recruitment, motivational sisterhoods and fun social events. This March we had another successful Kappa Kickball, led by Philanthropy Chair Anna-Riley Crenshaw. Fun was had by all that day, and it was extremely successful. In October, we collected children's' books from each pledge class and handed them out on Halloween to the kids of the surrounding community. Approximately 400 books were passed out, along with candy and other sweet treats. Throughout the year, Kappas participated in various fraternity fundraisers. This year was our first ever “Kappa Con Queso” fundraiser. Delta Tau members sold entrance tickets outside of the chapter house and raised over $1,000 for the KKG Foundation and the Los Angeles Mission!
		+
		+	Delta Tau had an amazing recruitment week led by Rush Chair Teak McAffee and her assistant Stephanie Nyberg. We could not be happier with our new pledge class. Although we could only accept half of our typical number due to new recruitment rules, the new members are an amazing asset to Delta Tau and we cannot wait to see what they accomplish during their time at USC. Marshal Nikki Bergman led an inspiring initiation for the new members. The girls bonded during their sleepover in the chapter room with fun games and treats led by Savanah Sheehy and Caroline Eastman. During inspiration week, Kit Chavers organized multiple sisterhoods that were extremely bonding. We learned about mental health, received recipes for healthy meals, and shared our struggles. Every member felt inspired and motivated after this special week.
		+
		+	As always, our social chairman Amanda Kipp did not disappoint this year with the many fun events. Our formals include Kappa Krush, Senior Sendoff, and Kappa Kabana. They were all big successes! Aside from formals, we enjoyed multiple exchanges with different fraternities. The girls also enjoyed many trunk shows this year with San Lorenzo as well as a kappa store with kappa apparel, organized by our VPO, Gabriella Carderelli.
		+
		+	Although our attendance was not as high as we hold our standards to out Recording Secretary, Izza DeMontesqieu did a great job keeping track of our members my implementing Gin System.
		+
		+	With a very busy and exhilarating 2018, we cannot wait to continue the success of the Delta Tau chapter in 2019. Our newly elected president, Caroline Eastman is extremely motivated and a natural leader. Our new chapter council had a productive Leadership Day and are ready to take on their roles.
		+
		+	In 2018, USC has changed their recruitment policy. The new rules instill that all those who go through recruitment must have a USC GPA. Because of this change, the Greek community has bonded together, along with the university officials to come up with the most strategic way to go about this new requirement. This fall we welcomed 34 new members, as opposed to our usual 70-80 person pledge class, all of whom were sophomores or juniors with a USC GPA. Overall, the nature of our chapter is a bonded sisterhood and with genuine friendship.
		+
		+	This year, Delta Tau raised money for Reading is Fundamental, the Los Angeles Mission and the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation, and donated books to the children in the surrounding area. In march we held Kappa Kickball and in November we hosted Kappa Con Queso. We also donated books to children who came to trick or treat on the Greek Row. We continued our tradition of supporting Reading Is Fundamental because of the large impact they have in teaching and motivating children to read. Along with that goal, we felt that donating children's' books during Halloween would be another great opportunity. Our chapter takes great pride in seeing how our efforts help many children from all around the world.
