→Highlights of 2013
Overall, our chapter is a tight knit group of amazing and intelligent women who care about each other and the continued success of our chapter as a whole. We always support each other and we continue to push each other to reach our highest potential as indiviudals and as a chapter. Although the Delta Gamma chapter has faced some changes this past year, especially with regards to our new house director, we have successfully accomplished any goal we set and we have overcome any challenges that have arisen. If anything, the changes and challenges that we have encountered this past year have made us even closer and we have grown even stronger as a chapter. We all hope to continue down this wonderful path through 2014 and we are so excited for what is yet to come.
==Highlights of 2014==
2014 was a wonderful year for the Delta Gamma chapter! We accomplished so many goals individually and as a chapter. We are excited to announce our successful Fall 2014 rush, recruiting 45 beautiful girls to join our chapter. Academically, we are also very pleased of our accomplishments for 2014, we were ranked 3rd over all for highest grades. This past year we also exceeded our expectations with awesome philanthropy events. Each Halloween our sorority participates in a local charity event called Safe Halloween. Michigan State’s Greek Life hosts a street carnival full of Halloween activities for children to enjoy the purpose is to provide a safe alternative to trick-or-treating for the children of East Lansing’s community. Also starting in March we begin collecting children’s books to donate to the Boys and Girls Club of Lansing. Following the book drive we hold our annual carnival at the Boys and Girls Club. At this event, we read some of the books, made crafts, face-painted and learned new dance moves from all of the kids! Both the kids and the Kappas had a blast and each child was able to leave with three books! The most exciting philanthropy event is the annual “Very Hungry Kappa-Pillar” pie eating contest. The event was first introduced to our chapter by our former Philanthropy Chairman, Andi Tonis, who started the first pie eating contest on campus! In addition to our philanthropy events we were also involved in the community by participating in events such as the Polar Plunge and Dance Marathon. Lastly, this past spring our chapter hosted Founders Day, a day that recognizes when the organization was established and those who were involved. We honor our founding fathers and open the house to local alumni wanting to share their favorite memories and experiences. We brought out tons of artifacts and scrapbooks from our history closet and everyone had a great time indulging in some of the Delta Gamma chapter’s past.
