Delta added 38 new members in the beginning of 1989, bringing the chapter membership to over 100 women.  Chapter activities in 1989 included participating in I.U. Sing, the mini 500 tricycle race, the women’s 500 bike race and intramurals.  Delta also held two formal scholarship dinners.  The 1989 chapter goal was “Appreciation + Involvement = Kappa Sisterhood”.  Involvement was evident as chapter members belonged to many campus organizations, such as the Student Athletic Board, Panhellenic, Singing Hoosiers, IU Ballet Theatre, ROTC and the Student Alumni Council.
