→Highlights of 2017
We also volunteered at local elementary schools by reading to students through their Read to Succeed program. Our chapter also donated holiday treat bags and books to these elementary schools throughout the year. We focused on reaching out to our local community--volunteering our time and funds to programs in our area. Our chapter finds this very important because we can grow and maintain relationships with the children and programs throughout the years.
==highlights of 2018==
The Gamma Delta Chapter has had a very successful 2018. We raised $2004 for United Way of Greater Lafayette and had over 2400 volunteer hours as a chapter. We were awarded the Gracious Living and House Board awards at the Kappa National Convention during the summer of 20218. We welcomed and initiated 44 new members in the fall - our biggest pledge class to date. We are looking forward to an even more successful 2019.
Purdue University is ever changing, just like the world around us, and so is our chapter. We believe our chapter's overall nature had a big shift this past year as we began to focus more on mental health in our chapter by adding a zen room to our home and electing a few chapter members as confidants that other members can reach out to in case they might need help.
