→Highlights of 2016
We continued our tradition of supporting Reading is Fundamental and Girls Academy, since they are both two organizations we strongly believe in supporting. Additionally, we chose to support Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust, through our mother-daughter event, since improving our community around us and improving life for Los Angeles citizens is near and dear to our hearts.
==Highlights of 2016==
The Delta Tau chapter has had an outstanding 2016. The year was filled with an amazing new pledge class, academic achievements and growing sisterhood bonds. The 2016 chapter council worked hard throughout the year to plan an effective Kamp Kappa and recruitment, motivational sisterhoods and fun social events. This February we had another successful Kappa Kickball, led by Philanthropy Chair Morgan Buckley. Fun was had by all that day, and it was extremely successful. The fundraiser raised approximately $5,500 for the Reading is Fundamental Organization. In April, we had a fundraiser raising money for WIJABA (The World is Just a Book Away). The organization opened its first US library in Los Angeles and the women at Delta Tau raised money to buy books to donate. Throughout the year, Kappas participated in various fraternity fundraisers such as the Lambda Chi Alpha Friendship Circle in November. This year was our first annual “Kappa Kappa Gamma: Grabba Grabba Donut” fundraiser. Delta Tau members sold donuts outside of the chapter house and raised over $2,000 for the KKG Foundation!
Delta Tau had an amazing recruitment week led by Rush Chair Sarah McMullen and her assistant Maggie Hill. We could not be happier with our new pledge class. The new members are an amazing asset to Delta Tau and we cannot wait to see what they accomplish during their time at USC. Marshal Andie Fezell led an inspiring initiation for the new members. The girls bonded during their sleepover in the chapter room with fun games and treats. During inspiration week, Lauren Meredith and Paige Eller organized multiple sisterhoods that were extremely moving. We learned about mental health, received recipes for healthy meals, and were taught the dangers of abusive relationships. Every member felt inspired and motivated after this special week.
As always, our social chairman Natalie Eggers did not disappoint this year with the many fun events. Our formals include Kappa Krush, Senior Sendoff, and Kappa Kabana. They were all big successes! Aside from formals, we enjoyed multiple exchanges with different fraternities. The girls also enjoyed many trunk shows this year with Love Lola, San Lorenzo and 12th Tribe.
Members were very diligent with attendance at chapter council meetings, formal and informal chapters, committee nights and sisterhoods. Our Recording Secretary, Raleigh Scharre, did a great job keeping track of our members.
With a very busy and exhilarating 2016, we cannot wait to continue the success of the Delta Tau chapter in 2017. Our newly elected president, Nicole Remy is extremely motivated and a natural leader. Our new chapter council had a productive Leadership Day and are ready to take on their roles.
In continuation with 2015, The Greek Community has been working to improve relationships with the university. Our very own Delta Tau member, Kylie Burdsall, has been chosen to serve on the Panhellenic board. She also devoted a substantial amount of time for the Panhellenic Food Drive. Kappa brought in the most cans out of every sorority and raised $2,000 for our chapter!
This year, Delta Tau raised money for Reading is Fundamental, The Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation, and WIJABA. In February we held Kappa Kickball and in November we hosted Grabba Grabba Donut. We also raised money for the WIJABA Book Drive and donated canned goods for the Panhellenic Food Drive.
We continued our tradition of supporting Reading Is Fundamental because of the large impact they have in teaching and motivating children to read. We were very excited that WIJABA opened up their first US library at the Los Angeles Leadership Academy. Delta Tau raised over $1,000 for the library. Our chapter takes great pride in seeing how our efforts help many children from all around the world.
Our chapter meets in the chapter room in the basement of our chapter house. The room can fit our entire chapter and this is where we hold all of our formal chapter events such as recruitment meetings and weekly chapter meetings.
