==Highlights of 2000-2010==
The year 2005 was a memorable year for Delta Chapter. In January our chapter welcomed 45 great girls into our new pledge class. The chapter was paired with Phi Kappa Sigma for IU Sing, which took place during Mom’s weekend. Kappa and Phi Kappa Sigma took home 3rd place. A Delta/Sigma Pi team participating in the Little 500 bike race also came in 3rd place, and they rode in memory of sister Ashley Crouse who had been tragically killed that week in a car accident.
At the end of the spring 2005 term, Delta chapter president Andrea Whitehead won President of the Year on the IU campus.
In 2006, the chapter won the Little 500 race for the 5th time! The chapter archives display for this year (and 2007) was centered around this event, and the chapter’s trophies and memorabilia from past races. In the fall on 2006 and 2007, the chapter carried on their tradition of having a chapter retreat, and hosting a Dad’s Weekend for their fathers. The chapter report 2006 shares that the chapter worked to improved the chapter GPA and the chapter knowledge of ritual. They were successful as Delta ended the year ranked in the top 3 on campus academically. The focus in 2007 was to better learn the songs associated with Kappa ritual.
Delta Chapter was proud to win the Greek Award of Excellence on the IU campus in 2009. In 2009 and 2010 they also continued their participation in the Little 500 bike race and IU Dance Marathon. By the end of this decade, the number of sororities on the IU campus was down to 19 (from 25 at the end of the 1990s). In 2009, the chapter had 156 members, and was ranked second on campus academically in 2010.

In the fall of 2005, the chapter raised $677,415 for the Riley Children’s Hospital, through the IU Dance Marathon, in honor and memory of sister Ashley Crouse. The chapter participated in the IU Dance Marathon again in 2006, coming in 2nd in fundraising among the greek houses on campus.
