==Highlights of 2012==
The Delta Beta chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma thrived this year in academics, sisterhood, and philanthropy. This year we recorded the highest involvement in chapter events and meetings in recent history, and this commitment to the chapter and its women is evident in our outstanding class of new members. This dedication was also critical to the success of our local philanthropy event this fall: the fourth annual "5K for Camp K," or Camp Kaleidoscope-- a residential camp for terminally ill children. The women of Delta Beta recruited Duke students to participate in the race and support the philanthropy; as a result, the chapter raised $9,000 for Camp Kaleidoscope. Those funds--more than the chapter has ever raised--will send 25 children to camp this summer. The chapter was also highly involved in the national Kappa philanthropy of Reading Is Fundamental, and we had nearly all of our members volunteer at the Boys and Girls Club of Durham to support the organization. Kappas at Duke also volunteer in organizations such as Best Buddies, Camp Kesem (a camp for children with cancer in their families), and Duke Engage programs (international programs with a variety of service goals).
Within the chapter, the Delta Beta Council underwent a number of changes during 2012, largely involving the new house. House Chair became a newly significant position on Council responsible for ensuring that the house met the needs of its residents and fostered sisterhood among the Kappas living there. Council also had to determine which members of the Executive Board would be required to live in the house for the coming years, ultimately settling on the President, the House Chair, the New Member Chair, and the Vice President of Standards. Finally, Council decided this year to add Recruitment Assistant as another elected position for future years.
