==Highlights of the 1990s:==
Delta’s activities in 1990 and 1991 were very similar to those of 1989. The chapter once again participated in I.U. Sing, homecoming, senior week, intramurals and the 500 Tricycle and 500 Bicycle races. Delta pledged 40 new members in January 1990, and 36 new members in 1991, and held their Christmas Formal at the end of each year in Indianapolis. The 1990 chapter goal was “Do your part……whether learning, leading or through the heart”. Involvement on campus and within the chapter were stressed. The 1990 chapter history report includes a long list of activities that sisters were involved in, inlcuding: the Interior Design Society, Sports Marketing Club, I.U. Student Nurses Association, Campus Crusade for Christ and Habitat for Humanity.
The 1991 Delta chapter goal was “ Take a R.I.S.K = Ritual, Involvement, Scholarship and Kappa Sisterhood”. The chapter history report for this year states that the chapter ritual improved tremendously in 1991, and that the chapter moved up 7 spots in the all sorority scholastic rankings in 1991.
Delta Chapter won Chapter of the Year on the I.U. campus in 1996.
In 1997, Delta pledged 48 women for a chapter total of 104 members. The chapter’s participation in the campus wide I.U. Sing and the Little 500 Bicycle race was consistent in the 1990’s. This year was also the 125th anniversary of Delta Chapter, and the chapter hosted a reception at the chapter house in September 1997, inviting alumnae and distinguished guests.
The chapter hosted a traveling consultant in early 1997 who noted that the chapter was strong in leadership, Panhellenic and Public Relations, but that work was needed in the areas of scholarship, and especially in Risk Management.
It is fitting that the 1997 chapter goal was to raise the chaper GPA to 3.15 and to strengthen the chapter’s risk management focus. Per the 1997 chapter report, Delta Chapter was successful in both efforts.
The chapter won the Little 500 Bicycle Race in 1998 (and again in 1999!), and moved from 9th to 6th (out of 25 sororities) academically. However, in 1999, the chapter was placed on Letter of Concern, and received additional support from the Fraternity to improve in the areas of sisterhood and ritual. Tragically, Delta chapter also had to deal with the death of one of its active members in 1999.
'''Housing:'''
The chapter had a new house director in the Fall of 1998, Andria Naugle, who came to the chapter from Purdue. Andria was selected at the House Mom of the year at IU in 1999.
'''Philanthropy:'''
In 1990, Delta continued their traditions of making Easter Baskets for hospitalized children, and hosting their annual pancake breakfast. Money raised from the 1990 pancake breakfast was given to The Girls and Boys Club of Bloomington. The Kappas and the Delts co-sponsored a philanthropy event called Kids Olympics for the first time in 1990.
In 1996, 1997 and 1998, the Delta Kappas paired with Pi Kappa Alpha to sponosor a 5K walk/run to raise money for the Rape Crisis Center.
In the fall of 1998, the chapter held their first Jazz and Java event to benefit the Bloomington Hospital Breast Health Center. The event featured a Jazz pianist along with coffee and hors d’oeuvres. Jazz and Java was held again in 1999. That same year, the chapter won the award for the Best Philanthropy at the Greek Awards Night at IU.
'''Chapter Convention Awards:'''
Honorable Mention at 1998 Convention for Gracious Living and for Chapter/Advisory Board Relations.
