→Highlights of 2021
The Delta Beta chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma set goals this year were to foster diversity, equity, and inclusion, which our amazing DEI chair planned and carried out several events and presentations on behalf of. We also had two incoming pledge classes over the course of the 2021-2022 academic school year, so recruitment and rush was a very important process. Fall 2021 recruitment brought in a pledge class of 36 sophomore members, followed by a Spring 2022 recruitment that brought in a new pledge class of 38 freshmen and 1 sophomore. Initiation for both of these pledge classes has been completed and we are very excited to announce that we have an incoming junior chapter member attending the National Kappa Convention.
The Delta Beta chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma supports Mental Health America as our philanthropy. It is extremely to important to address the needs of all those living with mental illness and to promote the overall mental health of all. Nationwide, almost one in five individuals in the United States are living with a mental health condition and it is our duty to promote awareness of mental health conditions and illnesses. In order to help raise money towards this organization that we are dedicated to, we held a bake sale.
This year, our chapter had two training sessions specialized towards diversity, equity, and inclusion. Both events were mandatory. Initially, we had a chapter-wide presentation for microaggression awareness training, led by our DEI officer. Moreover, we worked on establishing inclusivity within the organization by having a presentation promoting inclusivity and planning pledge-class wide bonding events catered to all members.
