Chapter Awards

Collegiate and alumnae chapters alike were applauded Tuesday afternoon for their accomplishments. But before we congratulated Kappa Delta chapters, we thought about what each of us – as individuals - had accomplished this year. *If you have reunited with an old friend – give yourself a hand. *If you have made a new friend – give yourself a hand. *If you have helped someone carry a heavy load – give yourself a hand. *If you have opened a door to a new opportunity – give yourself a hand. Kappa Delta’s are winners whether they walked out of the banquet hall with an award or not because of the GREAT things they do each and every day.

On Tuesday, June 30, at the “Give Yourself a Hand” luncheon, Kappa Delta honored those collegiate and alumnae chapters that have excelled in all areas of operations. They accepted the challenge of becoming the best.
