Finally, from academics to extracurriculars to professional opportunities, our sisters have made tremendous accomplishments in 2017. Several of our sisters are writers and editors for Duke’s newspaper, The Chronicle, while many others teach their own house courses in the spring semester. We have Robertson Scholars and division I athletes, as well as four incoming teachers for Teach for America. Many of our brilliant Delta Beta KKG sisters have completed theses in their respective fields, worked in research labs throughout all departments of the university, and have accepted future jobs with incredible employers including Facebook, J.P. Morgan, Google, Ozy, Jet, and many more! It has been another amazing year with our sisters and we can’t wait to see what’s to come next for them all.
==Highlights of 2018==
Delta Beta held our annual 5k to benefit Camp Kesem, a summer camp for kids whose parents have or have had cancer. This organization is very important to many Duke students at large, and many sisters are counselors themselves. We also had “Kappa Kappuccino” to benefit the Kappa Foundation; many sisters tabled around campus selling coffee and donuts. Our biggest challenge of the semester was when one of our sisters was diagnosed with lymphoma this fall and Delta Beta came together to become “Team Maddie”. Almost the entire chapter participated in “Light The Night” to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Maddie has finished her treatment, almost fully recovered, and will be graduating next fall. Overall, this semester we practiced many of our traditions, embraced some new ones, and definitely came together to overcome challenges.
This was the last year that Duke’s central campus, home to Kappa’s section and many other Panhellenic sections, existed. The university is knocking the entire campus and all Panhellenic and IFC sections (where our common rooms are and where our sophomore class lives) are being moved to different dorms all throughout campus. Because of Delta Beta’s excellent standing with the university, we were placed into a newly renovated building in the heart of our iconic west campus. The chapter has embraced this change and our newest class is definitely excited to enjoy our new home.
