==Highlights of 2011-2019==
 
==2011==
Delta Phi continued its tradition of campus leadership in 2011. The chapter was well-represented in many different sports teams, clubs, and organizations around campus. Members were active in outreach organizations such as Bucknell Buddies tutoring program, the Bucknell Brigade, and Colleges Against Cancer. To benefit the Bucknell community, Kappa hosted five non-alcoholic all-campus events including a trip to Bounce Funplex, making holiday cards for the local Children’s hospital, a game night, and an ice cream social. The chapter continued its academic achievement with a high average GPA.

Kappas were involved in multiple fronts on campus as they continued to give back pursue excellence in both academic and extracurricular realms. For the spring semester of 2011, we achieved an average term GPA of 3.49 and were able to maintain the community same academic standard through a variety the fall.

The chapter also supported RIF during its annual 0 GPA in the fall.  Aside from academic accomplishment, Kappas were extremely eager to contribute to campus life and the surrounding Lewisburg community through clubs, community service, and varsity athletics. We have many Kappas who participate in the outreach organizations at Bucknell such as Bucknell Buddies tutoring program, the Bucknell Brigade, and Colleges Against Cancer. In addition, Kappa is well represented in the arts; whether it is on the Bison Girl dance team, dedicated members of the Bucknell Dance Company, actors of the Weis theater stage, or singers in the prestigious Bucknell acapella groups, our Kappa Klassic soccer tournamentsisters’ creativity knows no bounds. The Kappas raised money for Relay for LifeOn the other end of the spectrum, we have sisters involved in varsity sports on campus who are amazingly able to manage the physical demands of Division 1 athletics and academic requirements of the school and our sorority.
Delta Phi often worked Needless to say, with other Greek-letter organizations at Bucknell for philanthropy eventsall the incredible activities we participate around campus, Kappa sisters are always ready to volunteer and give back to our community. The chapter women In the spring, Kappa made Valentine’s Day cards an extraordinary effort to give back through our fundraiser “Kappa Kisses” where we sold personalized valentines to the student body raising money for the elderly with Pi Beta Phithyroid cancer. They also teamed up with Within the brothers of Phi Gamma next month Bucknell hosted its annual Relay for Life event in which every sister participated and Sigma Phi Episilon and the sisters supported one another in raising a minimum of Pi Beta Phi $100.00 each to donate to raise money for the local dog shelter, Mostly Mutts, with a powder-puff football gameAmerican Cancer Society.
After summer, we began the school year in the fall of 2011 with our annual book drive to benefit our national philanthropy “Reading is Fundamental” (RIF). All the sisters pulled together to collect hundreds of books for the cause and included handmade bookmarks for the recipients. In support of RIF, we followed this drive by hosting our annual Kappa Klassic soccer tournament, inviting the whole student body out to play and raising almost $1000.00. On an athletic streak, we teamed up with other sororities on campus and the brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha participating in their annual Watermelon Bust, which raised money for their philanthropic cause. Over the year our chapter hosted five non-alcoholic all-campus events ranging from a trip to Roller Rink to making holiday cards for the local Children’s hospital, from a game night to an ice cream social, all open to the entire student body. These events were both well attended and successful as they brought members of the Greek and non-Greek communities together for some fun.
Furthermore, the Delta Phi chapter was extremely enthusiastic to accept forty-five new Kappas into our sorority who, through the semester, have proven themselves to be womanly and true. Through weekly new members meetings and an overnight bonding trip before initiation, the girls grew together and built a true dedication to Kappa Kappa Gamma. We held a beautiful initiation ceremony where Kappa family members from across the country came to see their legacy passed down as they helped to welcome the new class into the sorority. Whether it was cheering for sisters at games, participating in community service events, or having fun at our formals, the Delta Phi chapter is proud of everything we have accomplished in 201 and will remember it as a year of excellent academic achievement, and sisterly support.
'''Convention Awards:'''
One of the main challenges our chapter has faced this year has been risk management regarding our events. With one of the sororities from our school getting kicked off campus this past semester the university has tightened down on all the Greek organizations on campus. We have taken many precautions in preparing for our Spring Formal Event. Our Event Chairman and Risk Chairman have been working very closely with council to ensure the security and success of our event. We have all been working hard to create a fun event, in a safe location while managing potential risks.
Specially we are distributing wristbands to members and their dates that are of age, using security personnel instead of fellow Kappa members. Additionally we are strictly requiring hand stamps before students go to the event. We have divided the check in by grades to make the process more efficient and effective for everyone involved. We are increasing the number of security guards as well as stationing our own members at various locations of the event. With regards to transportation we are positioning both the Event and Risk Chairs at the front of the bus to check wristbands and hand stamps and ensure that no negative discourse between Bucknell students and those providing transportation occurs.
