− | Our chapter members were highly involved in philanthropy this year both through Kappa and other on campus organizations. During spring parents' weekend, the entire chapter participated in our annual crawfish boil to raise money for our philanthropy, Books for Keeps. Our fall philanthropy event was reimagined this year. Instead of a casino night, our philanthropy chair, Alexis Seward, and her assistants organized a drive through where students and Athens residents could purchase tickets ahead of time and pick up warm Mama's Boy biscuits, an Athens favorite. Outside of Kappa, Teagan Sullivan acted as the Kappa Team Captain and as a member of the Greek Leadership Committee within UGA Miracle, UGA Panhellenic's official philanthropy. She organized a Kappa team to compete in the Miracle flag football tournament and the Kappa team was the winner of the Miracle Chili Cookout this semester. Additionally, 30 girls on the Kappa team competed in Sigma Delta Tau's Greek Grind which is a dance competition that raises money for Prevent Child Abuse America. | + | Our chapter members were highly involved in philanthropy this year both through Kappa and other on campus organizations.

This year brought many fun, new sisterhood events to our chapter that not only brought the chapter closer together but also connected us with members of other sororities. During work week, we had recruitment practice with Delta Phi Epsilon. Led by Sara McGhee, we have begun having sisterhood events at Purvelo Cycling. Most recently, we had a spin class with Alpha Gam. The new member class participated in the most sisterhood events to encourage the newest new member class to bond. The new members had a bowling night with some of chapter council and had a Mellow Mushroom party with their bigs the week after Big Little night. Another sisterhood event we had to encourage the upper classmen to reach out to the younger new member classes was our planner and organization party at the house this fall. Members of every new member class attended and learned organization tips to start out the school year. Additionally, we divided everyone up according to major and had upperclassmen available to answer major-specific questions for the new new member class. Another sisterhood event that we enjoyed this year was our Chick-fil-A and K9 lunch where puppies from a local animal shelter came to play on the front lawn. | This year brought many fun, new sisterhood events to our chapter that not only brought the chapter closer together but also connected us with members of other sororities.

The chapter's overall nature is one of enthusiasm and joy for life. Our members are seizing every opportunity presented to them and finding ways to pursue their passions on campus, in the Athens community, and beyond. | The chapter's overall nature is one of enthusiasm and joy for life.

We began last semester with our annual Kappa Crawfish Boil which is our spring philanthropy event. We had it over Parents Weekend and raised a ton of money for Books for Keeps. In March, we all left for Spring Break, but UGA announced a two-week extension of spring break halfway through the week. Eventually, classes were moved online for the remainder of the semester. In-house girls were unable to move out of the house until late April. Adjustment to online classes was difficult, but we still managed to find ways to connect with our chapter. Unfortunately, we had to cancel Cutting of the Ivy, our traditional farewell ceremony for our seniors. In the fall, we had virtual recruitment run by our incredible Recruitment Chairman, Lily Waggoner, and her assistant, Emma Simonton. They lead the chapter through virtual work week and through the confusion and complications of online recruitment. We got such an unbelievable new member class this fall! The New Member Chairman, Ella McGregor, and her assistant, Lily Nichols, put on a spectacular, COVID friendly bid day and made sure all of the new members felt welcomed. The theme was “Dropping Jaws!” Our banners got stolen by some boys from outside of the house that night and Ella tracked them down and got them back! Throughout the fall we tried to find ways to make the new members fell included and connected to the chapter despite all of the restrictions. The sophomores took all of the freshmen on big-little dates and many of the upperclassmen hosted small bachelor watch parties in their houses and included people from every new member class. Virtual Initiation went well and we tried our best to preserve all of our traditions. We still collected and handed out sleep notes to the girls even though they were unable to spend the night at Kappa before Initiation. Over 30 alumni attended virtual Initiation and many came to Athens to surprise their girls in person. A few weeks later, we had a socially distanced version of Big-Little at the Athens Classic Center where all of the girls wore funny hats. Other sisterhood events we had throughout the semester were Little Ice Cream Dude on the Kappa lawn, Sydney Parrish hosted an outdoor yoga class with smoothies, and we had a pure barre Zoom class as a chapter. Overall, despite the pandemic and all of the restrictions and stress it caused this semester, Delta Upsilon chapter had a very successful and happy year! | We began last semester with our annual Kappa Crawfish Boil which is our spring philanthropy event.
