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.:
2012
Philanthropic Involvement: Last spring we went to Rodgers Elementary School in Bloomington and read to some of the children there. We will also be doing that in the upcoming weeks. Kappa Kickoff was a flag football tournament hosted this past fall, and was a new event for Delta chapter. Since our big annual philanthropy event is always in the fall, we are brainstorming new ideas now, and figuring out whether we want to expand on Kappa Kickoff, or go with an entirely new idea. At our fall retreat, each member brought a book and we did a book drive for reading is fundamental. We will do another one this spring before the year ends. Members of the Delta chpater also participated in Indiana University Dance Marathon in October, helping to raise over $2,100,000 for Riley Children's Hospital.
Scholarships: During the spring of 2012 Riley Hoffman was awarded the Dreisbach Scholarship, Kendall Loseff was given the Herstenstein scholarship, and Lauren Wolkhamer received the Holland Award. This fall Mai Lyn Matern received the Byrum/Kimball Award and Jenny Goodwin was given the Dobbins Award.
Alumnae: This fall we held an alumni dinner here at Kappa, which was welcome to all. Delta alumni came from out of state to attend this dinner and they, along with other alumni who have made visits, were given a tour of the house and informed of the changes and current workings of Kappa. Alumni came to IU's Little 500 Race and spent time with the Kappa bike team. Monthly emails have been sent out to keep the alumni up to date with everything within Kappa.
Challenges and How They Were Overcome: We have been working toward improving our house GPA by holding kappa kappachino on Sundays which include snacks along with a set four hour period to do work in the formal dining room or the chapter room at Kappa. We have also worked toward improving our risk with a buddy system and maintaining a positive standards. When brought down to standards, girls are given a way to make their mistakes into a positive learning experience for the house as a whole. Girls are also called down to standards for various acheivements or noticeably good behavior.
Another way that our chapter tried to overcome challenges that we faced last spring and fall was the Leadership Action Plan. Under this program, there were four different focus levels each coded by a different color. Yellow represented self discovery and intellectual development, red was interpersonal development, green included leadership and skill building, and blue represented understanding and appreciation of Kappa. During the spring semester, the color yellow's actions were to plan two academicaly focused chapters, to instate "Smarty-Pantsof the Week" to recognize academic achievements, and to plan a presentation at the beginning of the semester on Chapter Budget. Under the color red the plan included to reach out to local alumnae to help with our next recruitment, to host an alumni brunch, and to plan one large sisterhood event each month and small weekly activities. Under the color green, we worked to reorganize committees to mobilize members and enhance Delta's efficiency and have white board sign-ups for announcements at chapter. Finally, under the color blue, we conducted a ritual workshop at the beginning of the semester and reveiwed one piece of Kappa History or Ritual each chapter meeting.
For the fall semester of 2012, under the color yellow we planned a academically focused chapter that semester, provided assistance for members who are not staying academically focused, and emphasized academeics during recruitment by setting a standard GPA limit. For red, we reached out once again to local alumnae to help with our next recruitment, planned one large sisterhood event each month with small weekly activities, and held a recruitment oriented sophomore and junior bonding activity. For green, we worked to assiste the philanthropy chair in outlining ways to improve philanthropy project for next term and did a presentation on chapter motivation. Lastly, under the color bllue, we reviewed one piece of Kappa history or ritual at each chapter meeting. Under the Leadership Action Plan, we successfully overcame the challenges we were having extra difficulty with and we are continuing this effort to ensure the success of our chapter.
Initiation: Thirty three girls were initiated on February 26th, 2012. A few mothers of the girls who were being initiated are also Kappas, so they came and helped with initiation as well. The weekend started with flowerside on the 24th, then fireside the 25th, and ending with initiation.
Recent changes on Indiana University's campus include the addition of two new chapters to the Greek community. As a house, we have made an effort to reach out to these new chapters to show them our support and make them feel welcome. In terms of our own chapter, it is evident that our house includes a group of hard working, determined women who care deeply about maintaining a positive reputation in the Greek community and on campus and continue to have a strong academic performance.
Note to Chapter Registrar: Please refer to your chapter archives including chapter meeting minutes and back issues of The Key to fill in any gaps in the above historical highlights. If your chapter archives are not complete, please research your university library, campus newspaper and yearbook archives for newsworthy information about your chapter.
