Our Kappa Klassic fundraiser is scheduled for the end of April; we will divide the donations between UMC's Children's Miracle Network, our local philanthropy, and e Jed Foundation. Giving back to the community is something we greatly prioritize at Delta Psi. It warms our hearts knowing we can make a difference in a simple way that can change the trajectory of someone's life. Enjoying Every Moment We had our first date party, Kappa Krush, in mid-February, which was a lovely opportunity for our members to gather and enjoy a pre- Valentine's Day event. We also held a sisterhood event on Valentine's Day with a chocolate fountain and other goodies for our members to enjoy while watching a movie on the projector. Mom's Weekend, an event that our members always cherish, was held at the beginning of March. We had shopping at the lodge and brunch to honor the women we love so dearly; it was a magnificent turnout. Continued on page 4
