==Highlights of 2011==
The Delta Tau chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma has had another successful year filled with sisterhoods, philanthropies, and other various events. This past fall we hosted our first ever "Kappa Kickball" philanthropy, which was a huge success. Our wonderful philanthropy chair, Meredith Martinuzzi, led our chapter to raise thousands of dollars for charity and dominate fraternity philanthropy competitions.
This year we also held a Kappa Krepes fundraiser . A crepe truck came to the row and sold crepes to students and the money raised went to one of Delta Tau’s local beneficiaries the Story Project. This event managed to raise over 200 dollars. For the ninth time out of the past eleven years, we won Sigma Chi’s philanthropy Derby Days. Our chapter alone raised over 9,500 dollars to donate to Children’s Miracle Network for Sigma Chi.
In March of 2011, we organized and put on a RIF event. Meredith worked with the Kappa Alumnae Association in Pasadena and the Boys and Girls Club in Pasadena to organize the event. Fifty children of the Boys and Girls Club attended the event and Kappa actives read the children the book Horton Hears a Hoo.
Kappa actives also painted rocks with them similar to at the Kappa Convention in June 2010. We participated in several philanthropies including Pi Kapp Winter Wars, AGO 4square, Sigma Nu's Winter Wars, Pike's Fire Fighter Challenge (which we won!) and many more. This fall we initiated 57 new members into Kappa and filled our schedules with intramural volleyball and soccer games, USC football "Game Days,", and a fun-filled Parents’ Weekend that included a New Member reception, a picnic on our front lawn, and a memorable Presents ceremony.
This semester we also had a successful Founder's Day with a meaningful ceremony to follow. We also had fun-filled invites with our most recent one being our semi-formal, Sapphire Ball. We had a father daughter event called, "dads, daughters and derbys" which was a day at the santa anita horse races and our mother daughter was "cooking with kappa" where the moms and daughters cooked a bunch of dishes at larchmont grill Our chapter's academic performance was outstanding this past year.
In the Spring of 2011 the overall house GPA was a 3.40 with thirteen girls earning 4.0s. In the Fall of 2011 our house GPA was a 3.39 and seventy-seven girls had GPAs between 3.5-3.9. This is an astounding accomplishment for our chapter considering many girls balance rigorous school schedules, internships, jobs and Kappa events during the semester.
'''Campus:''' University of Southern California: This year the Greek community worked to improve it's relationship with the University. Last year, USC elected a new president Nikias who was not accustomed to Greek life. Since, then the Greek community has tried to show him the benefits of being part of our community. We have made large strides improving our relationship with the University this past year.
