I'll toot my chapter's horn...
2 years ago, I wasn't sure where this house was gonna go. Lot of internal issues and problems with the new member program and a lot of anti local setiment with Panhellenic council on campus. We didn't do well with philanthropies, we struggled for participation, and the morale was just... eh.
Well one semester, things changed. Things weren't going well and we figured we needed a facelift. So we did.
That next semester we recruited 10 hardworking girls. That class was the start of a turn of events. That spring we placed 2nd in greek week, which is something we hadn't done since 1995. That following fall, we recruited 30 young ladies; which was more than any NPC sorority had as quota that semester. Those 30 girls recruited all their friends to come on board and now we have just under 50 girls total when we used to average about 25 actives. We had placed 2nd in Greek Week again the following spring and second place overall in Derby days last fall. And for the first time ever, Chi Delta took the sorority superbowl title this spring. That was huge because it's never happened and the same two sororities had been champions for a number of years. We started a sweetheart program, co sponsor self defense classes, and I have gotten word that we are trying to start a school wide GAMMA program (drug and alcohol awareness program).
And the sisterhood is incredible. It was very rare to see a large group of us do anything outside of sorority events. Now the girls go line dancing every Monday, just because; hang out in between classes and have expanded friendships with other members of different greek organziations. Our social calendar is packed. And we have a joint IM soccer team with Kappa Sigma.
I couldn't be more proud of the house as an alumna.
