W
e are so proud of the recent
academic success of our members.
Our spring 2021 cumulative GPA was a
3.46, and our overall GPA is 3.47. This
semester, we had three members receive
scholarships, including Soleil Rucker
'19, who received $1,000. We also had 43
women get 4.0s last spring, while 85% of
our women had above a 3.0 semester GPA.
Overall, Theta Omega is maintaining our
academic status at KU. There is room to
improve, of course, but our women are
working hard in many challenging majors.
We have incorporated "Delta Smarty of the
Week" along with our "Academic Member
of the Month" program to honor our
women on a regular basis for their weekly
and monthly achievements. The women
who achieved 4.0s last semester received
triangle earrings and were honored at a
scholarship brunch for their hard work.
This past school year, Theta Omega raised
$58,324 for philanthropy! This year, our
goal is to beat that number. Our three main
fundraising events are Sincerely Yours, 10K
in a Day and Delta Diner. We sent out our
Sincerely Yours letters this fall, and I am so
proud of our chapter's motivation and love
for St. Jude. Our members are as eager as
ever to continue their fundraising efforts.
We are always striving to do our part to
help Tri Delta reach its $60 million pledge
to St. Jude this year!
We've been very fortunate to plan three
events this year so far. We had a very fun
'80s-themed bowling party to welcome
the new members after initiation as well as
our traditional Old Maid and Semiformal
events. All of our members were finally
able to meet and interact with each other
after prior COVID restrictions made this
complicated, so it was very fulfilling to see
everyone come together. I'm thrilled to
plan events for next semester, including
Cupid's Crush and Formal. I can't wait to
see what we come up with!
Delta Love,
