Rush was postponed in 1984 due to the cold holiday season. Many sororities were left with no heat and broken pipes, including the Delta Chapter. To compensate for the misfortune, the Chapter re-vamped their skit to "KKG Putting on the Ritz."

Upon resuming school this fall, many events occurred. We had dad’s weekend in early September. We had an auction and appetizer event and attended an IU football game. We also had our annual philanthropy, Kappa Klassic Golf Event, where we raised over $1,000 for Reading is Fundamental. We celebrated a great Founders’ Day with alumni. We had an outstanding turnout for Indiana University Dance Marathon. Delta Chapter was the leading sorority fundraiser, raising over $70,000 for Riley’s Children’s Hospital. We are so proud of the commitment our members have made to IUDM. | Upon resuming school this fall, many events occurred. We had dad’s weekend in early September.

Our biggest areas for improvement last year were ritual and philanthropy. Ritual was a focal point for our chapter, especially Initiation ritual. We are continuing to strengthen ritual by reviewing a piece of ritual at each chapter. We have made a lot of progress and look forward to Initiation this month. We also worked on our philanthropy, Kappa Klassic, in an attempt to raise more money for Reading is Fundamental. Unfortunately our philanthropy is not as profitable as we would like due to circumstances including students not knowing how to play golf, as well as the poor condition of Indiana University’s golf course. We haves started brainstorming of new ideas for this upcoming fall philanthropy event in order to challenge our chapter to raise as much money as we can for Reading is Fundamental. | Our biggest areas for improvement last year were ritual and philanthropy.

Last spring we went to Rodgers Elementary School in Bloomington and read to some of the children there. We will also be doing that in the upcoming weeks. Kappa Kickoff was a flag football tournament hosted this past fall, and was a new event for Delta chapter. Since our big annual philanthropy event is always in the fall, we are brainstorming new ideas now, and figuring out whether we want to expand on Kappa Kickoff, or go with an entirely new idea. At our fall retreat, each member brought a book and we did a book drive for Reading is Fundamental. We will do another one this spring before the year ends. Members of the Delta Chapter also participated in Indiana University Dance Marathon in October, helping to raise over $2,100,000 for Riley Children's Hospital. | Last spring we went to Rodgers Elementary School in Bloomington and read to some of the children there.

Recent changes on Indiana University's campus include the addition of two new chapters to the Greek community. As a house, we have made an effort to reach out to these new chapters to show them our support and make them feel welcome. In terms of our own chapter, it is evident that our house includes a group of hard working, determined women who care deeply about maintaining a positive reputation in the Greek community and on campus and continue to have a strong academic performance. | Recent changes on Indiana University's campus include the addition of two new chapters to the Greek community.
