==Highlights of the 2020s:==
Chapter Summary2020 began as a normal year for the Delta Rho chapter, with events such as our annual Feed the Hunger Packathon in February. We began the year in our temporary house as construction on our new chapter house continued. With the onset of COVID-19, operations moved entirely online in March, and continued to be virtual or hybrid in nature for the duration of the year. Despite the sudden change to virtual learning, over 120 sisters earned 4.0 GPAs for the Spring 2020 semester. Delta Rho was honored by the University of Mississippi Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life with the Civic Engagement Award and sister Meredith Moore (PC 16) was distinguished as the only Panhellenic woman given the Unsung Hero award. Throughout this tumultuous time, the sisters of Delta Rho did their best to band together and adapt to the ever-changing circumstances. In the fall, we celebrated the grand opening of our new chapter house, with strict health standards in place to ensure the safety of our members and house staff. Recruitment Workshop and Formal Recruitment were held entirely via Zoom, much to the credit of our recruitment team, who worked hard to create an authentic experience for PNMs. Delta Rho was thrilled to welcome 123 women into PC 20, including 27 legacies. All components of the New Member process, including the official Formal Pledging ceremony, new member education and initiation were held over Zoom. Delta Rho was proud to support sister Bella Grofolo (PC 17) in her campaign for the University of Mississippi Homecoming Court and were thrilled to celebrate her win as Senior Maid! Our chapter worked hard to maintain our philanthropic work during this virtual semester and we successfully conducted a drive--------------through ‘Chips, Cheese, and KKGs’ event benefiting Reading is Fundamental.

Kappa’s 150th anniversary was celebrated with a socially distanced brunch at the chapter archives including house.
