==Highlights of 2015==
This past year in the Delta Psi Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma has been busy and filled with change. The Delta Psi chapter was awarded as the “Most Outstanding Panhellenic Chapter” on Texas Tech University’s campus. The chapter held philanthropic events, such as our second annual Kappa Krawfish, an event hosting the Greek and local community to an afternoon filled with Louisiana crawfish, live music, and activities. Through this event, the Delta Psi chapter raised over $5,000 for our local philanthropy, Children’s Miracle Network. During the fall semester, the girls of Delta Psi read to the elementary school kids at Joan Y. Ervin Elementary School multiple times a week. We also hosted a Reading is Key event at Joan Y. Ervin Elementary School in the fall. Delta Psi has had a fantastic year academically and we hope to improve even more in the semesters and years to come. The chapter concluded the Spring 2015 semester as #4 in the Greek community, at a 3.374 chapter GPA, with 39 girls receiving a 4.0 and 179 girls making greater than a 3.0, which is 82% of the chapter. We have moved one up in the ranking since the Fall 2014 semester. The academic statistics for Fall 2014 are not available at this time, but Delta Psi is hopeful that our ranking on Greek Circle and overall GPA has improved.
Texas Tech University has experienced many changes on campus, mainly because the university is growing drastically. For the seventh-straight year, Texas Tech University reported another enrollment record with 35,893 students for the fall semester, a 2.1 percent growth from fall 2014. With the major growth in students, Texas Tech University has to continue to renovate and build new buildings, like the new Bayer Plant Science Building that opened in the fall of 2015. Along with educational buildings, the Greek community is also expanding. The Texas Tech University chapters of Kappa Alpha Theta, Pi Kappa Alpha, Alpha Phi, and our very own Kappa Kappa Gamma are in the process of building new lodges to accommodate the growth of Greek life at Texas Tech University
