We're Gonna Make This Place Our Home

The first week of school has flown by and our new Kappa Delta's have spent a busy weekend bonding with each other at the Pi Chapter House. After their first Stage on Saturday, it was time to get out of the house and get a little crazy. Sunday afternoon the KD Freshmen crammed into their cars and headed out to a ropes course to test their limits and get closer with their pledge class.

After getting some silly team building games done, the girls suited up in helmets and harnesses and took on the giant wooden alpine tower. In teams of 4, one Kappa Delta climbed the tower while three of her sisters belayed her from the ground. Through lots encouragement and cheering, a few girls reached the top of the 50 foot tower and threw their KD's in the air. When it was time to come back to the ground, the climber jumped from the tower and three sisters lowered her down.

After a great first week under our belts, we can't wait to see what's still to come for the New Members.  With more Stages, Big Sis/Lil Sis Reveal, and Initiation all on the horizon, we think it's safe to say we have a lot of memories to make in these coming weeks. Each of our New Members has so much to bring to our sisterhood and we love that they've decide to make this place their home.

If It Were Me, I'd Go KD

Last week's Recruitment came and went and left the women of Pi Chapter excitedly welcoming 36 FABULOUS new women into their sisterhood on Saturday. With the theme of confidence in mind, Kappa Delta's got decked out in their sparkliest attire and danced the morning away until our New Members' arrived. After many cheers, chants, and of course hugs, everyone packed their bags and headed to the pool for some much needed relaxation and AOT.

As the day came to a close, the New Members got to meet their temporary Big Sisters with a fun wooden letter ice breaker, and then went to dinner. Back at the house that night, the girls set up a giant inflatable screen in the green space by the house, grabbed their blankets and their sisters, and watched a movie together.

Bid Day 2012 was a day full of laughter, love, and memories the women of Kappa Delta will always remember. Pi Chapter could not be more proud of it's newest pledge class and all they will bring to our sisterhood. Cheers to the next four years and the memories we still have to make.
