We are initiating nine new women, sending a few officers off to a national conference, and hosted our annual philanthropic event, Delta Diner, this semester. Of course, that doesn't cover all of our events for the semester; we also have community service projects, social functions, and sisterhood activities. Theta Omega is hitting the books early this semester to get a head start on our academic work. We are reminding each other of what it means to be a Tri Delta and a sister each day, whether that comes through focusing on our values or helping out a sister. This semester will definitely be one for the books. planning fOr aCaDemiC exCellenCe Because we are at KU first and foremost to get an education, we like to set our academic goals at the beginning of each term. This semester, we have implemented new programs and study hours to assist our members in achieving their personal academic goals, as well as worked toward our larger chapter goals. Our target GPA for this semester is 3.35. With our new study habits and motivation, we are confident that our chapter will reach this goal. DelTa Diner raises fUnDs fOr sT.
