We meet in our chapter house, in the dining room. We are such a large chapter that the dining room is the only place where we can all fit.
==Highlights of 2016==
This year at the Delta Rho chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma we packed our millionth meal for our annual Feed The Hunger event and raised over $80,000 for Feed The Hunger. We also sent five of our own sisters to Kenya over the Winter Break. In another philanthropic event, the Delta Rho Kappas won the Sigma Nu Charity Bowl. At the Ole Miss Greek awards our 2016 president, Bailee Coleman, was named Chapter President of the Year and Kappa Kappa Gamma was awarded the Respect and Dignity for All Award. During the recruitment period, we welcomed 110 new members from far ranging places such as Hawaii and even Germany. These new members represented Kappa Kappa Gamma at the annual Theta Encore and placed second overall in a very competitive event. Academically the Delta Rho Chapter was ranked fourth overall of every sorority and fraternity on campus with a GPA of 3.26. The Kappa indoor intramural soccer team placed first in their annual competition. It has been 70 years since the Delta Rho chapter was established in 1947. Another achievement of a member that we are incredibly proud of is that our very own Charley Ann Nix was crowned as Miss University 2017.
The Ole Miss campus is seeing growth in the development of an updated Student Union. The Ole Miss campus is also in the process of building a brand new STEM building. Another building many students are looking forward to is a new recreational building off campus that will have updated work out equipment.
'''Philanthropy'''
Traditionally Kappa Kappa Gamma at Ole Miss hold philanthropy events for Reading Is Fundamental. Kappa Kappa Gamma at Ole Miss also holds a Feed The Hunger event every year in which we pack meals for children all over the world. We also have a focus cause for every month at Ole Miss Kappa Kappa Gamma which can range anywhere from NEDA to Suicide Awareness. Every year we sent many members to hand deliver the meals that we pack. A Delta Rho Kappa was the first to start a Feed The Hunger event at Ole Miss and since then the chapter has undertaken it and put on the Packathon every year.
