==Highlights of 2012==
The 2012 calendar year was very eventful and exciting! We started out the new year with the transition of the new officers to the chapter council. At this time, most of the chapter was busy with Varieties (a short musical). We were paired with the men of Delta Tau Delta, the women of Alpha Delti Pi, and the men of Acacia. Many of the girls in our chapter also helped out with Dance Marathon which raises money for the Children's Miracle Network. After Varieties was over, Greek Week was quickly approaching. We were paired with the men of Lambda Chi and Phi Delta Theta. We did very well in Lip Sync and earned the People's Choice Award. We also participated in tournaments, olympics, Polar Bear Plunge, and banner. We ended this eventful week with our annual philanthropy Kappa Kakes. As always, it was a huge success and the proceeds went to the Children's Miracle Network. Shortly after our philanthropy, we had Mom's weekend. It took place at our chapter house where our moms and us participated in a fulfilled weekend that included different things such as brunch, a silent auctioning, and jewelry making. We ended our year by earning one of the highest honors, Presidents Award.
Iowa State University has a beautiful campus, thriving in a variety of activities, organizations, and clubs that are large led by the student body. Iowa State provides endless opportunities for students to get involved in leadership positions. Iowa State also has a very strong Greek community that offers 15 different sororities and 27 different fraternities for students to become a part of.
==Highlights of 2013==
This previous year, Delta Omicron chapter received a cumulative 3.23 GPA, which increased from 3.12 the past semester. Along with this, we had 52 girls on Dean’s list as well as four girls with a 4.0 GPA. We participated in Yell Like Hell for Homecoming and received 2nd place overall, and won first place in community service. In the Spring, we also were involved in Lip Sync and Varieties and these were very fun for our chapter to be involved in. This year we held our annual philanthropies, which are Kappa Fiesta in the Fall and Kappa Kakes in the Spring. Both of these events were successful, and the money raised goes towards Reading is Fundamental as well as the Children’s Miracle Network. Challenges this year included re-vamping all of the chapter council positions and adding new and exciting programs that would get our chapter members involved and engaged.
There have been no drastic changes on our campus recently, besides our VEISHEA weeklong celebration of the various colleges of Iowa State University. This celebration will be re-vamped and changed in the future to promote Iowa State University tradition and community. As for the overall nature of our chapter, we are moving forward in leadership as well as friendship, and are trying to work towards overall respect of one another and more involvement in general from the chapter members.
