It’s incredible how creative KDChi undergraduate chapters can be when it comes to fundraising!
To kick off their fundraising, KDChi's Beta-Alpha Chapter of University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign held a successful sweets sale late in their Winter Wonderland Rush Week.
They made cute vanilla and chocolate cake pops, decorated to perfection. Of course--they even matched the chilly Rush Week theme. Along with some hot chocolate, the sale proved to be a hit among the students on campus. Can you believe those sweets and goodies didn’t sit out for long? The ladies of Beta-Alpha sold out!
Talk about multi-tasking, this event raised some cash for the Chapter and gave the Sisters a chance to meet up with potential new member interests.
Too Hot! Too Hot! Too Sweet! Too Sweet!
SWEETS SALE RAISES MONEY FOR BETA-ALPHA CHAPTER
Continuing the sweet trend, the Beta-Alpha ladies took advantage of the recent Valentine’s Day holiday by hosting a special “lottery” on the Quad. Students purchased custom-made, scratch-off tickets and won from a range of prizes—from chocolates, roses, ring pops, gift cards, custom serenades to even a grand prize of a plush penguin—all offered by the chapter. With each scratch-off ticket priced at just a dollar, who could resist?
A highlight of the “lotto” was when a member of the Omega Delta Phi Fraternity won a custom serenade and requested that Hero by Enrique Iglesias, be sung to his fraternity.

What advice would you give to a new member: Learn everything you can. Take advantage of the time you have in college as an undergrad. As a new member don't be afraid to hit the ground running and ask questions!!!
Being in Kappa Delta Chi taught me: To question things, not in a "rebel snot nose kid" kind of way, but to understand why things were done a certain way and see how they could be enhanced. It has also taught me that being part of something bigger has a lot of responsibility, so think before you speak.

Chapter, School: Delta Alpha Chapter; (Delta Alpha is a national chapter and not affiliated with a specific university). I attended UW-Whitewater for my Bachelor's degree, and attended UW-Milwaukee for my Master's degree.
What advice would you give to a new member: You get what you give, so truly invest in your intake process! Be the type of Sister you want other members to be towards you!
Being in Kappa Delta Chi taught me: Being a Sister of Kappa Delta Chi has demonstrated to me the importance of life-long learning. An opportunity to learn means an opportunity to be refined as a Sister, as a professional, and as a woman; so, take advantage of that! The more you know the better you can serve! Being a Sister of Kappa Delta Chi provides a greater purpose than what YOU can get out it. Being a Sister, and now a Cabinet Officer, continues to enhance my understanding of how important it is to have leaders in the realm of service, and what I can do to serve others better.
