Changes

For the spring 2009 semester the Delta Xi chapter was busy with booth and Greek Sing. Teaming up with Phi Kappa Theta, the Delta Xi chapter placed second in Carnegie Mellon's 2008 Greek Sing competition. Performing "West Side Story" the sisters had a great time while also raising money for charity.

Carnegie Mellon's annual Spring Carnival theme for this year was "Epic Adventures". Kappa Kappa Gamma built a two story booth entitled "James and the KKGiant Peach" placing first in our division. We held our annual Sapphire Ball at the Concordia, and early in the semester held Crush Party at Union Grill. For the fall 2009 semester the Delta Xi chapter completed an FMR retreat and FMR where we gained a pledge class of 32 enthusiastic sisters. Following FMR our standards committee conducted a standards retreat, which included fun role plays and a series of relay events.

Housing: In 2009, Delta Xi moved into their current house on the Greek House. With double the girls living in the house, the Kappas became more prevalent on campus and the size of the Greek Community began growing exponentially.

In the spring semester of 2010, the Standards retreat was held at a bowling alley. For Greek Sing the sisters paired up with Sig Ep and performed “Fame”. The sisters had a great time learning the dance and embodying the 80’s vibe. The chapter had a successful Carnival. The overall theme of Carnival was “History with a Twist” and the KKG’s built a themed booth of “Kappa Kappa Glacier: If the Ice Age Never Ended”. The sisters were awarded second place for the Sororities Division. KKG hosted lecturer Rick Barnes who gave a presentation entitled “Drink Think: A Personal Approach to Alcohol”. Delta Xi Formal, Sapphire Ball, was held at The Renaissance Hotel.
