Highlights of 2011== 2011 was a great year for the Delta Zeta chapter. Our chapter had the highest GPA of all sororities on campus, again. The chapter had two teams at Relay for Life in the spring, and held the annual fundraiser, Mr. CC, at Shove Chapel (for the first time) and it was a great success. We started a photo wall in the house and even made a scrapbook for the year. During Greek Week, our chapter hosted Zumba night and at the end of the week, two girls won the spirit award and represented the house. '''Campus:''' On July 1, 2011, Jill Tiefenthaler became Colorado College's new president. Also, Sigma Chi and Phi Gamma Delta re-joined CC's Greek community, after working with the school and their nationals to work through some problems. '''Chapter:''' In 2011, our chapter tried a new philanthropy event. During Halloween, we tried a Trick-or-Treat for canned goods which was a great success. Also, our chapter won the Eta Province Award for highest GPA in the province. And we were one of the top three fundraising teams for Relay for Life. Our chapter had difficulty during recruitment. Formal recruitment in the fall was very weak only a total of three girls were recruited. Our house was the smallest house on campus with a total of 37 girls in the chapter. We plan on addressing this coming year by wearing the letters and keys to promote Kappa every Friday. ==Highlights of 2012==
This year has been successful for the Delta Zeta chapter. As a chapter we receive honorable mention for Academic Excellence at convention. Furthermore at Province we received honorable mention for recruitment and the award for Excellency in Adviser Board Relations. This year we participated in our yearly philanthropic event called Mr.CC, which is male beauty pageant that is put on in order to raise money.
Many of the girls in the Delta Zeta chapter have been not only deeply involved in the chapter but also involved with the Colorado College community. As a Chapter we have been able to form strong bonds with each other due to the small size of our sorority. It makes for a very intimate environment. Recent changes on the Colorado College campus have included a more diverse freshmen class.
==Highlights of 2013==
During the Spring semester of 2013 the Delta Zeta chapter brought back informal Friday lunches at Benji’s, one of the on-campus restaurants. During the spring semester the Education Chairman taught the chapter how to prepare for formal events that could occur during one’s college career, or in a business setting. The Education Chairman presented on attire and behavior appropriate for black tie, cocktail, and business casual occasions. The chapter also had a healthcare tutorial, which also incorporated natural facial and body scrubs, during an education night. The Delta Zeta Chapter also received the Scholarship Award, an all-Greek honor for the Greek house with the highest grade point average on campus. In terms of philanthropy, the spring semester involved the Delta Zeta chapter volunteered at the Colorado College Children’s Center and Colorado College Soup Kitchen.
The 2013 fall semester started with a sisterhood event that was held at the Colorado College Cabin, where the chapter partook in leadership and corporation tasks on the Cabin’s ropes course. Other sisterhood events included a Mary Kay spa night, chapter skate at a downtown Colorado Springs ice rink, and a Halloween movie night where the chapter watched Hocus Pocus. For Founder’s day the chapter had brunch with local Alumnae Association. The Delta Zeta chapter was also ranked second for highest GPA of Kappa Chapters. During the fall semester the chapter started volunteering at Pikes Peak Prep three days a week as tutors. The Delta Zeta also held the annual philanthropy event, Mr. CC, an all-male beauty pageant.
In the last year Colorado College renovated the campus gym, El Pomar, making the gym 50 percent bigger and significantly more energy efficient. The college also renovated one of the main resident halls on campus, Slocum Hall.
The Delta Zeta chapter is a close group of girls who are working hard to improve in all areas of work and to be as efficient as possible. The chapter is growing and becoming a well-known name on campus through our philanthropy and academic excellence.
