Overall, our chapter is a tight knit group of amazing and intelligent women who care about each other and want to continue the success of our chapter as a whole. We always support each other and push each other to reach our highest potential as individuals and as a chapter. Although the Delta Gamma chapter has faced some changes this past year, we have successfully accomplished any goal we set and have overcome many challenges that are thrown our way. The changes and challenges we have faced have made us even closer and stronger as a chapter. We all hope to continue down this wonderful path through 2017 and are so excited for what the year will bring.
==Highlights of 2019==
This past year our chapter has been able to grow through many barriers we faced. We had many fun sisterhood events including renting out the movie theaters to see A Star is Born and Hustlers. We also had sisterhoods that included boutique stores coming to the house and allowing girls to shop! In the spring our philanthropy chairs organized a great volunteering opportunity where as a chapter we were able to go to a local boys and girls club and read with them and do crafts for the afternoon. Our chapter faced challenges with officer transitions as most of council was changed throughout the summer. Much of the first month of school was trying to regroup and organize to make sure recruitment went well. Our recruitment chair did an excellent job making sure Kappa values were apparent throughout recruitment. The membership selection process also went much smoother than in years past. In October our chapter participated in safe Halloween which is put on by all of Michigan State's Greek life. This year in November we had a new philanthropy event that was extremely popular. Our philanthropy chairs created Kappa Arcade and rented out a local arcade in Lansing for the evening. The event was a huge success and they were able to raise around $1,500! Also in November we initiated our new members into Kappa Kappa Gamma! Initiation went smoothly, we as a chapter definitely have areas to work on regarding our ritual practice but I think we are on the right track! Attendance was high at initiation which is good as we as a chapter sometimes struggle with out attendance. As we move into next year as a chapter we are looking to have another successful recruitment, which I think we will as we have an awesome team for next year! We are looking to improve our ritual to make sure everyone in the chapter is knowledgeable regarding ritual. Lastly, our main goal coming into the year is to have very smooth officer transitions.
There haven't been any drastic changes on campus other than we got a new university president. They are working on modernizing the campus so there has been lots of construction. Our chapter is growing, we had a large new member class which is amazing. We also have been working very hard as a chapter to work on getting off warning of probation. We have made strides with our attendance which I think has been improving. We have plans to continue to work on our ritual and improve our knowledge of it.
RIF. Literacy and being able to read is a fundamental. Going through life without the ability to read can put severe hardships on an individual. We want to work in the community to promote reading and improving the numbers of individuals who know how to read.
To celebrate founders day we had a pizza party and cake before chapter. Our chapter all came to the house and ate together before we had our council meeting and our chapter meeting.
