→Highlights of 2017
Philanthropy also kept us very busy. We gained new friends at a Panhellenic sisterhood, hosted by Pi Beta Phi, where we tied blankets for a local hospital. In April we hosted our annual Kappa Klassic golf tournament. In the fall we had an ultimate frisbee philanthropy where many other houses came to support us. The week before Thanksgiving we hosted our annual Kappa Gobble to support our philanthropies. We donate primarily to the Kappa Foundation, the Christmas Box House, and Reading is Fundamental.
==Highlights of 2018==
Delta Eta concentrated on philanthropy and academics in 2018.
After much thought and discussion, the chapter made the decision to forego its support of the Christmas Box House and to instead support NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness. NAMI is a nationally known advocacy group that focuses on supporting and educating society about mental illness. To support our decision, we brought in a Kappa Trainer to help educate the chapter on mental illness. Her efforts made a huge difference in our chapter, allowing for more open discussion, healthy coping mechanisms, and a mutual respect and understanding for those suffering from mental illness. In the Spring of 2018 we held our first Kappa Con Queso. We also held a Kappa Kappa Gameday, where fraternities across the row competed in a game of flag football. Finally we hosted our annual Kappa Gobble, where participants could buy pieces of pie. We raised $7700, over $3000 more than the previous year. The proceeds from all three events went to our three philanthropies: the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation, Reading is Fundamental, and NAMI. In addition, each member is responsible for contributing at least five hours of service to various organizations. At the end of the fall term, the chapter had provided 1,792 hours of service to several on-campus and off-campus organizations.
The chapter also worked diligently to maintain its high scholarship ranking on campus. Study groups and the utilization of campus resources were stressed. In addition, chapter members worked as teaching assistants, tutors, study group leaders, and participated in research.
Currently, the Delta Eta House Board has been working with our local alumnae associations in considering raising capital funds for a major house renovation. The plan would include connecting our two basements, adding a guest bedroom, fixing lighting and flooring, and painting. The project could take over a year to complete. We look forward to the possible completion of this project.
Our social events included a formal in the Spring, held at the Leonardo Museum, an Escape Room sisterhood, our first annual Semi-formal (Kappa Kabana), as well as a Mystery Date Night, an exchange with Sigma Phi Epsilon, the annual Kappa Kozy sisterhood, Kappa Karaoke, the Utah Jazz game and much more. We had our first annual overnight sisterhood retreat which took place at a hostel in beautiful Park City. In the Fall semester, we hosted our always popular Founders Day brunch at Trolley Square.
