Texas Tech University has had several changes in the last year. One of the biggest accomplishments Texas Tech had this year was becoming a Tier One school. After several years of hard work this was a very rewarding achievement for the school. Texas Tech University also hired Kliff Kingsbury to be the new head football coach. The school is very excited about this change because Kingsbury previously played for Texas Tech. The Texas Tech University mascot Raider Red recently won the Capital One Mascot Challenge.
The overall nature of the Delta Psi chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma is one that is welcoming, relaxed, and focused on sisterhood. It really has known to become the home away from home for the members of this chapter. The chapter has a lot of involvement in all the different sisterhood, Panahellenic, and philanthropy events, which make for great memories for the members. The nature of this chapter is very special and hard to replace.
