During this year, the Chapter Council struggled with unity and leadership. In the face of a rough academic end to 2010, the chapter struggled with reactive programming and the advancement of scholarship. The New Member program was improved to involve a much more comprehensive scholarship program to ensure academic excellence by the New Members. The first semester of 2011 Chapter Council and the VPAE were able to increase the chapter’s overall GPA. The Chapter Council faced the challenge of communication but was able to finally communicate and express/work through our CC problems. | During this year, the Chapter Council struggled with unity and leadership.

As November came to a close, it became time to begin the process of electing a new Chapter Council to lead and guide the Delta Mu Chapter. This is always a bittersweet time for the chapter because we are eager to welcome emerging leaders but we are saddened to see the old council disemble. We began the process by electing our most trustworthy sisters to the nomination committee. The committee revealed the new slate in chapter where it was unanimously voted on and approved by the sisters of Delta Mu. The new chapter council was excited to receive such an outstanding honor and thankful that the transition process began in the Fall rather than the Spring. This ensured a smooth and efficient change. |
The women in Delta Mu are resilient and united. Through campus involvement and daily actions, each of our members has made Kappa something to be overwhelmingly proud of. We are growing more and more each day, both as individuals and as a unit. | The women in Delta Mu are resilient and united.

Our campus is home to 22,301 undergraduates. The University of Connecticut is growing in many ways and has just admitted their highest achieving freshman class. A new sorority, Gamma Phi Beta was just added to our campus in the fall of 2012 becoming the 8th sorority to enter UCONN. The 123 members of Delta Mu are a great asset to the Storrs campus. The overall nature of our chapter is close knit and lovable. Every sister shares a special relationship with one another. No matter what problem we may have to face, we conquer it together. | Our campus is home to 22,301 undergraduates.
