==2012==
The 2012 calendar year was very eventful and exciting! We started out the new year with the transition of the new officers to the chapter council. At this time, most of the chapter was busy with Varieties (a short musical). We were paired with the men of Delta Tau Delta, the women of Alpha Delti Pi, and the men of Acacia. Many of the girls in our chapter also helped out with Dance Marathon which raises money for the Children's Miracle Network. After Varieties was over, Greek Week was quickly approaching. We were paired with the men of Lambda Chi and Phi Delta Theta. We did very well in Lip Sync and earned the People's Choice Award. We also participated in tournaments, olympics, Polar Bear Plunge, and banner. We ended this eventful week with our annual philanthropy Kappa Kakes. As always, it was a huge success and the proceeds went to the Children'Housing:s Miracle Network. Shortly after our philanthropy, we had Mom''' '''Philanthropy:''' '''Convention Awards:'''s weekend. It took place at our chapter house where our moms and us participated in a fulfilled weekend that included different things such as brunch, a silent auctioning, and jewelry making. We ended our year by earning one of the highest honors, Presidents Award.
Our fall semester started off great with Formal Recruitment. We were honored to add an amazing new pledge class of 39 girls to the chapter. Homecoming started off quickly as we came to school. We were paired with the men of Pi Kappa Alpha and Beta Theta Pi. Our pairing participated in Yell like Hell and earned the People's Choice award. We also placed first in community service and first in tournaments. Shortly after homecoming, our annual fall philanthropy was held, Kappa Fiesta. This was very successful and the proceeds went to Reading is Fundamental. This year was also the third year for Kappa Carnival at Collins - Maxwell elementary school. During this, all of our chapter travels to their elementary school and participates in different kinds of games and activities with them. Kappa Karnival is a great way for our chapter to become involved in the community and put a smile on the little kid's faces. We also had Dad's weekend which was a success. We put on a tailgate for one of the Iowa State football games that all the dads were invited to as well as an auction we held at our chapter facility. The year ended with officer transitions and passing on the different rituals to the incoming leaders of Delta Omicron.
Iowa State University has a beautiful campus, thriving in a variety of activities, organizations, and clubs that are large led by the student body. Iowa State provides endless opportunities for students to get involved in leadership positions. Iowa State also has a very strong Greek community that offers 15 different sororities and 27 different fraternities for students to become a part of.
