→Highlights of 2017
The Delta Zeta chapter holds meetings in lodge that is located on campus and owned by Colorado College. However, a portion of each actives dues goes towards the house, so that each active holds a share of the house, a policy that had been in place since the early 1970s. While our house is not residential, it does have the capacity to house visiting sisters. Even though DZ members do not live in the house, our sisters form strong bonds, and many live together, both on and off campus.
==Highlights of 2018==
The Delta Zeta Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma at Colorado College experienced many triumphs during the 2018 school year. Delta Zeta is proud to have received an honorable mention award for Chapter/Advisory Board Relations this year at Convention. Through COB and Fall Recruitment, the Delta Zeta Chapter welcomed sixteen phenomenal women to our chapter, and the members of the chapter continue to excel academically and remain involved in a variety of work and extracurricular opportunities across campus and in the Colorado Springs community.
Delta Zeta's new philanthropy event, CC's Next Top Tiger, debuted in November. This talent show encompassed acts from singing to juggling and brought members from across campus together for an amazing night of entertainment. Through ticket sales and event fundraising, our chapter raised $1800, which was donated to Reading is Fundamental. Further, our members volunteer throughout the community by teaching Spanish to children, mentoring 8th grade students, helping at a cat shelter, and working with Public Achievement, an organization that encourages civic engagement among young members of the community.
Members of Delta Zeta excel both inside and outside of the classroom. In the past year, our sisters have received scholarships from the Denver Kappa Friendship Fund, Kappa Foundation, the Delta Zeta House Board, and the Boettcher Foundation, among others. Outside of the classroom at Colorado College, our members are Resident Advisors, First Year Experience Mentors, New Student Orientation Leaders, and Writing Center Tutors. Additionally, Kappas at CC are members of the Blue Key Honor Society, the Student Organization for Sexual Safety, and the President's Council, which serves as an advisory board to the President of the College.
Delta Zeta members are also very involved in sports on campus. Such activities include Colorado College's club hockey, figure skating, varsity lacrosse and swimming, and several competitive intramural teams. Additionally, a great number of sisters are involved in the arts through Dance Workshop, Theater Workshop, and arts adjunct classes. We even have a sister that created her own fashion line! In addition to work and extracurricular involvement, the members of Delta Zeta remain dedicated to their studies and illustrate passion and stellar academic achievement in their classes.
The strength and dedication depicted by women of Delta Zeta have contributed to the growth of our chapter commitment and betterment of the Fraternity as a whole. Though we do not live in our chapter lodge, members make a continual effort to attend weekly chapter meetings, and we often have movie nights and study hours in the house by the fire. Many groups of sisters choose to live together in on- and off-campus housing. The members of Delta Zeta are excited to continue growing and celebrating successes in academic, social and fraternity life.
