Our chapter has even extended our charitable work beyond just our own fundraising events. Besides participating in other Greek organization’s fundraisers, our Kappa’s have volunteered in our local elementary schools, community garden, food bank and more. Many members of our chapter have even orchestrated their own charity events, which our chapter has been eager to both attend and support.
==Highlights of 2016==
In September, the Delta Phi chapter eagerly welcomed 42 new members to Kappa Kappa Gamma. The Delta Phi chapter believes that it is important to immerse itself in philanthropic opportunities hosted by other Greek organizations and Bucknell student organized events. In addition to participating in all philanthropy events hosted by other organizations in the Panhellenic community, the Delta Phi chapter had a strong presence in an event hosted by the Bucknell Student Club called "ACE" where proceeds were donated to charities in the Lewisburg community.
Overall the past year, the Panhellenic Community welcomed a new chapter, Delta Zeta, to the Bucknell Greek Community and the Delta Phi chapter was noted for being exceptionally welcoming to the Bucknell's newest organization.
'''Chapter Philanthropy:'''
The Delta Phi chapter has raised money for Reading is Fundamental and the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation over the past few years through our annual philanthorpy events, Kappa Klassic and Kappa Kisses.
The Delta Phi chapter meets in the Art Building located centrally on Bucknell University's campus. Meetings are held in the lecture hall where there is plenty of room for all chapter members and there are adequate facilites for visual and audio support if need be.
==Highlights of 2017==
The Delta Phi chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma at Bucknell
University was extremely involved and active throughout the university and the community. This
chapter believed it was essential to go to other greek life philanthropic events, such as raising
money for domestic violence awareness and Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. Along with
this, members also worked in our community’s garden and soup kitchen, helping those in need.
In September, the Delta Phi chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma at Bucknell University welcomed
37 new members. These new members have become very involved within the philanthropic
events, and have several ideas for the future of the Delta Phi chapter.
Describe the recent changes on your campus and describe the overall nature of your chapter.
Bucknell University has become a very welcoming and inclusive campus. The university
now has gender neutral bathrooms, rallies, and open discussions about the social, academic and
spiritual life at Bucknell. Due to recent events regarding greek life throughout the country,
Bucknell has had several round table discussions about making greek life safer and open to
everyone. Several Delta Phi members attend these meetings and speak freely about the changes
they wish to see. This displays that Kappa Kappa Gamma is passionate about positive changes,
and this chapter wants their voices heard in the Bucknell Community.
The Delta Phi chapter historically raises money for Reading is Fundamental and has
donated hours by going to local libraries and elementary schools to read to children. This
chapter raises money through the two main philanthropy events, Kappa Klassic and Kappa
Kisses.
Our chapter continues to support Reading is Fundamental because as educated leaders,
we believe reading is an essential key to becoming an influential member of society. We believe
every child should get that support and knowledge and have the resources to do so. Therefore,
we are passionate about donating books and money in order to make an impact.
The Delta Phi chapter holds our weekly meetings in the Art Building on Bucknell’s
beautiful campus. It is centrally located on campus and is easy for all members to walk to. The
specific room we use has plenty of seating and a large screen in which we can play videos,
slideshows and display important reminders for our members.
