→Highlights of 2013
Our chapter strives to become more involved on campus and have been working hard to keep good relations with Panhellenic. We are a close chapter where everyone is friends with each other. It was announced that Alpha Xi Delta would be joining our Greek community in the upcoming years. During rush in 2013 some correspondents for the sorority came to oversee how Oklahoma State does recruitment. They were excited to become part of this campus and we look forward to welcoming them in the near future.
==Highlights of 2014==
The Delta Sigma chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma had a very successful 2014 year. To kick the year off we participated in an all-Greek show at Oklahoma State called Varsity Revue. We were paired with the men of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and the cast took home the Most Philanthropic Cast Award. The women in the fraternity participate in many different events on campus and are apart of many clubs. At Oklahoma State there is a continuous tradition of numerous Kappas being apart of Dance Marathon, since it was started on campus by a Kappa three years ago. To give back to the community by supporting our philanthropy Reading is Fundamental, Kappas visited the local elementary school to read books to children and to also donate books to the school. One other all-Greek show that Kappa participated in was Spring Sing with the men of Sigma Chi. During Spring Sing, we received the Most Entertaining Cast Award. Delta Sigma was recognized at National Convention this summer by receiving the award Most Improved Academic Excellence and honorable mentioned for Risk Management and House Board Relations.
After returning from summer break our success and hard work paid off by having such a rewarding recruitment. 59 bids were given out, and all were accepted. Our new member program is very helpful and a great asset to the women who were excited to call Kappa their new home. The chapter welcome these 59 new members into our sisterhood on October 18th.
Oklahoma State's homecoming was just around the corner, which is the largest homecoming in the nation. Kappa Kappa Gamma was paired with the men of Lambda Chi Alpha. After several months of hard work and dedication, we had a very rewarding and successful homecoming. All of our hard work paid off when we placed third in the sign competition, third in a community service project called harvest carnival, third in a flag football game called football frenzy, and second in house decoration. By placing high in all of those events and taking home many trophies, we received first in homecoming sweepstakes over the rest of the Greek community. Kappa has not won homecoming sweepstakes in in the last 15 years, so this was a great accomplishment by the sisters in our chapter.
Our philanthropy event, Kappa Con Queso was a big success raising around $10,000 for JDRF. This amount keeps increasing every year that we do Kappa Con Queso at Oklahoma State. There were numerous events that helped to reach the $10,000 mark, and Kappa Con Queso was the main event. This past year, three of our sisters have held a position on Panhellenic Executive council, this is such a high honor at Oklahoma State. To finish up the year, we had a sisterhood event to decorate Christmas cookies and we went to purchase gifts for a local angel tree project. The women of Delta Sigma finished the semester with a 3.34 GPA, which was above the all sorority average. 2014 was such a great year for the Delta Sigma chapter and we are looking forward to seeing what 2015 holds for our sisterhood.
Delta Sigma strives to get involved on campus in many clubs and activities, and to keep good relations with Panhellenic. At Oklahoma State, Delta Sigma holds a close relationship with everyone that is on campus. With Alpha Xi Delta being new on campus and participating in formal recruitment for the first time, a couple of recruitment officers from their chapter came to oversee how we practiced for formal recruitment. During the year of 2014, a member of another chapter passed away in an accident. Delta Sigma and the men of Delta Kappa Epsilon hosted a benefit cookout, and all the money that was raised was donated to a scholarship fund in her name.
The Delta Sigma chapter at Oklahoma State has been on campus since April 12, 1947. Our house has moved locations twice, we currently reside at 1212 W. 4th Ave in Stillwater, OK. All of our members have had the chance to live together in our chapter house during their years at Oklahoma State. The Kappa house is chapter owned. The house the we all call home is three stories tall and will house 90 women.
