Our spring semester started off great with a third place in Varsity Review with the men of Farmhouse. The theme was 'Where the Wild Things Are.' We participated in many of the spring philanthropies including Lambda Chi pledge pagaent, Sigma Chi's Derby Days, Kappa Sigma's Krazy Dayz, Greek Week and Relay for Life. Our chapter president attended Kappa National Convention, and the Delta Sigma chapter was awarded Most Improved chapter. We teamed up with Stillwater Elementary School, and a group of Kappas read to the children every Friday to support Reading is Fundamental. We also hosted legacy night; a night in which active members entertained upcoming Kappa legacies. The recruitment team did a great job planning this night including a fashion show, snacks and games. Legacy night was followed with Greek Discovery Day where Kappa participated in a mock recruitment for Potential New Members. Also, Kappa held the annual Mom's Day celebration. Kappas and their mothers attended a tea party brunch and a silent auction. We ended the semester with the Blue and Blue date party.

It was a hippie-themed date party.
The fall semester began with work week in the last week of July and continued into formal recruitment. During recruitment, we decorated sacks and filled them with goodies for children participating in a run for Juvenile Diabetes in Oklahoma City. On bid day, we welcomed 62 new members. We also welcomed back 9 recruitment counselors from Kappa Kappa Gamma. Our dad's day chairmen did an excellent job of planning and executing dad's day. On this day, Kappas and their dads participated in an early lunch and silent auction before attending an Oklahoma State football game.
In October, we initated 62 new members following Inspiration Week. Following that week, Kappa participated in America's Greatest Homecoming where we paired with the men of Sigma Chi. Our house decoration was titled "Traditions," inspired by all of the traditions of Oklahoma State University.
