→Highlights of 2020
The chapter celebrated Founders day with an Annual dinner that was held at the McKenzie Merket Alumni Center on campus here at Texas Tech. It was a formal sit down dinner with a notable Guest Speaker. The Mayor of Amarillo came to speak to our chapter and truly encouraged them to chase their dreams, believe it themselves, and not let the fact that you are a woman stop you from what you want in life. Academic awards were presented at this banquet as well as recognizing the President for all she has done to selflessly serve the chapter. We closed the banquet by holding a Memorial lead by all Alumna for the Kappas lost over the year.
We have begun to show pictures from the beginning of the Delta Psi chapter here in Lubbock, Texas but also the beginning of Kappa. The 150th anniversary is an incredible year to celebrate. We are celebrating 150 years of women who have helped shape the world and Kappa to be a foundational organization that impacts the lives of college women to be the best they absolutely can be. We shared a small tid tad bit during Founders Day about the 150th anniversary and will continue to recognize the incredible monuments that have happen in the past, this upcoming year. ==Highlights of 2020== Our calendar year was very much affected by COVID-19, we did not have any philanthropy events or social events since the mid spring when COVID first hit. We have been doing meeting virtually, and encouraging women especially our New Members to reach out to each other to get to know one another. Our recruitment was also held virtually, and any other chapter business was virtual. Our chapter advisor was awarded advisor of the year among Greek life. Chapter Philanthropy We support Reading is Fundamental, and Children's Miracle Network.We chose this because it allows us to connect locally to the underprivileged schools that surround Texas Tech University. This gives us a great opportunity to give back to the city and impact those that possibly could end up at Texas Tech. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion We implemented a DEI officer this year, and also provided many resources that girls could use to educate themselves, and train. Sesquicentennial Celebration We were able to celebrate Kappa’s 150th anniversary with a virtual Founders Day. We are able to set up meals for each girl in a drive through at the lodge to still give them the free meal they would've received if we were in person.
