What has Theta Beta been up to?

We've been super busy here at Theta Beta over the last few months. We've shared some great memories including winning Chapter of the Year at the 2011 CU Greek Awards, dancing all day at CU Dance Marathon 2012, welcoming our Spring New Members from Informal Recruitment with a spectacular hula show, 'Tri'-ing our luck at a Casino Night Mixer with our Greek Week partners, and having our Moms visit Boulder for Mom's Weekend!

We also held our yearly letter writing campaign earlier this month for St. Jude Children's Research hospital! March is St. Jude month and we've been celebrating all month long by showing our "Keep Calm and Fight On" spirit on Facebook, posting fun facts on our Twitter and raising awareness about this amazing cause.

Although our Spring semester has only a month remaining (oh no!) we have many fun events in store for the remaining weeks.  Greek Week is right around the corner and we'll soon be saying goodbye to all of our wonderful graduating seniors!

Informal Recruitment and Bid Day!

In early February, Delta Delta Delta was pleased to have participated in Spring Informal Recruitment. As a much more casual and laid-back process, Informal Recruitment allows women to get to know the women in the chapter without the frills of Formal Recruitment. Informal Recruitment consisted of three rounds, two open houses and an invitation only appetizers and mocktail night. Planned by our Membership Selection Committee, Melissa Cooper (Vice President of Membership), Kelsi Welch (Assistant Vice President of Membership), Alexandra Caropino (Reference Chairman) and Danielle Foss (President), Informal Recruitment was a huge success. We were pleased to welcome our new members to our chapter on bid day which included a dance party, cupcake decorating, karaoke, and an inflatable bounce castle. Thanks to Lisa Weatherbie, our New Member Educator, for a fun bid day!

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!

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!

Zumba and RUSH Bowls

Beth Windheuser our Vice President of Membership who is in charge of Recruitment organized a Zumba and RUSH Bowl Event for girls in our chapter and their friends. Zumba is a type of dance aerobics class, and is a lot of fun! Two members of our chapter Audrey Brazeel and Mackenzie Jackson are Zumba certified, and they volunteered to teach the class for us. Thanks Ladies! After the class we went and got RUSH bowls on The Hill as an after work-out snack!

Super Bowl Sunday

Beth Windheuser, our Vice President of Membership, and RHO GAMMA, our House Manager, organized a Tri Delta Super Bowl Sunday. All the girls and their friends gathered around to watch the game and enjoy some delicious food. The girls did a great job organizing this game day event, complete with extra speakers for a full Super Bowl Effect!
