Recruitment

Recruitment

By: Beth Windheuser

Vice President of Membership

Fall formal sorority recruitment began on September 11^th, 2010 and was a very exciting time for the women of Delta Delta Delta. With recruitment consisting of four rounds (Open house, Philanthropy/ House tours, Skits, and Preference) it was an exhausting week of meeting potential new members. All women participating in recruitment are invited to the first round and each round is continually more selective until Bid Day when we finally get to meet our new members. During the recruitment process, Delta Delta Delta looks for women that uphold the purpose of our fraternity and we are pleased to include them in our sisterhood. Although it can be a long process, Delta Delta Delta is proud to welcome home our wonderful new members! Congratulations to the all the chapters on campus as well as our very own Theta Beta chapter of Delta Delta Delta for a successful recruitment!

Work Week

Work Week

In early August, the ladies of Delta Delta Delta came back to school a week early for Work Week. Designed to prepare for fall formal recruitment, this time included conversation practice, team building, and it allowed the women to grow closer as a chapter. The Membership Selection Committee, made up of President Kaitlin Rice, Vice President of Membership Beth Windheuser, Assistant Vice President of Membership Caitlin Hazelton, and Reference Chairman Kristine Kessler planned the entire week full of activities that would get everyone ready for formal recruitment. Even though it was a lot of work, the women of Delta Delta Delta had fun dressing up in a different theme everyday. From an Americana themed “Party in the USA” day to “Clash of the Cliques” at the end of the week, everyone showed plenty of Delta spirit while getting prepared for recruitment! Not only did Work Week prepare all the women for recruitment, but they gained invaluable conversation and interviewing skills. Great job Deltas! Keep up the good work!

Fire Academy

Fire Academy

By: Haydn Jones

Dear Parents of Theta Beta,

Leadership is an essential part within our Delta Delta Delta chapter and I had the chance to explore my leadership qualities through Leadership Fire Academy. A program created in early 2000’s to develop and promote fire safety throughout the Greek System for those who own greek residences. Each Panhellenic and IFC Greek organization all sent representation and we were all selected into “engine” teams. We learned the basic training of the Firefighter Academy, for example, combat training, search and rescue including full gear of mask, helmet, oxygen tank, jacket, gloves, and pants, fire science, and fire safety. We all received priceless, beneficial knowledge for wherever we reside and the facts to spread the knowledge to our roommates, sisters, friends and family so in turn the can stay fire safe too. It was a humbling experience a snip it of the training of a firefighter and we love and respect our Boulder Fire department everyday for keeping the students of CU and the Greek community safe.

New Member Update!

After a very successful recruitment, The New Member Educator planned an amazing Bid Day; we went to Denver to play laser tag! It was a great night and there was so much enthusiasm even after the long week! The night of Bid Day, The Assistant New Member Educator selected "dolphins" for the new baby Deltas. Dolphins are a kind of pre big to get the new girls comfortable and more associated with the house. After Bid Day, the members do "dolphin drops" in which they decorate the new member's home door with a painted and glittery dolphin and sometimes candy. Its a fun welcome to the house!

After getting to know the new members, the Assistant New Member Educator carefully paired the new members with a Big! Three days before revelation, the Bigs give the Littles gifts and clues. Each day the Little is given a more significant gift, and on the third day, they give a couple of clues to get the girls really excited to find out who their Big is! This Sunday we will be having our Big/Little revelation. The revelation will consist of the Big buying two costumes (one for them, one for their little). The Bigs will then spread out throughout the streets surrounding the house (on the "University Hill", Beach Park, and around Broadway). The LIttle will then put on the costume and find their Big! Afterwards they can go out to dinner or dessert! We are SO excited for our new members!

Delta Love,

The New Member Education Team
