==Highlights of 2016==
2016 was yet another great year for the Rho Deuteron chapter. We participated in both spring and fall recruitment, and we welcomed 21 new sisters to their home. We continue to be involved in a wide variety of campus activities and clubs, and we have sisters in almost every major available. This diversity is something we value highly and allows us to have positive influences in many parts of the campus community.
Many of our sisters once again made it onto the Dean’s list this year thanks to our strong commitment to academic excellence. Many of us have also been inducted into various honors societies such as Psi Chi, Order of Omega, Phi Eta Sigma, Mortar board, and Omicron Delta Kappa, to name a few.
During the year we held our two annual philanthropy events, one during each semester. In the spring we organized Kappa Karaoke, where other campus organizations helped raise money for Reading Is Fundamental. In the fall, the campus community helped us raise money for Kappa Kidney Camp by eating lots of delicious breakfast food at our event Kappa Kidney Kakes. Both events were highly successful and enjoyed by the campus community.
In addition to these two events, we held our second annual Key Event at a local middle school. Our sisters made bookmarks and read books with students, after which they got to keep the books. This was an event that both the children and our sisters gained a lot from.
This year we celebrated Founders Day with food and drinks that were popular in 1870, including tea and cheese biscuits. We were also able to borrow materials from the archives of Headquarters that showcased Kappa’s history, and the event was a huge success!
Our chapter holds weekly meetings in the beautiful KKG house just off campus, where sisters can go to study, cook food, or just spend time with each other. We are continuing to make upgrades to the house through our campaign Renovate Rho, and our house is looking better and better!
