==Highlights of 2017==
The Delta Alpha chapter had an outstanding challenging year year. We progressed academically and continued to strive for greatness in our academics. This year, due to recent changes in policies on our campus, we did not do our usual Fall recruitment. Penn State University has changed the rules that there is to be no more Fall recruitment and it will only take place in the Spring. Although we did not have recruitment, we have been super busy planning for recruitment in the Spring and cannot wait to welcome new members when the time comes!
We gained a new THON family two years ago and are so excited to continue working with them. On another note, our second THON family decided to not continue with us because Jacob is now older. We wish him and his family the best of luck and always keep a special place in our hearts for them. Our THON families have brought our chapter so much pride and excitement to have the opportunity to dance FTK and spend the most amazing weekend with all of them. In the past there were 3 canning trips per year. One of the challenges that our chapter faced this year was only having 1 trip. Canning trips are where a majority of our fundraising for THON comes from. To overcome this challenge, we needed to be creative and think of alternative ways to support THON and raise funds For The Kids. Our chapter overcame this challenge together and brainstormed effective way to fundraise. Our sisters all sent out extra THONvelopes, donation boxes were set up around numerous hometowns, and we are also holding fundraisers at local restaurants, such as Cold Stone.
