Delta Kappa hosts a variety of events during their Recruitment week. Events range from Games nights to bowling and also some scholarship events such as dancing. Delta Kappa Chapter has also becoming famous on campus for creating the Frisbee-Football-Soccer or FFS. Delta Kappa has also introduced a new recruitment event called Get to REALLY Know the Bros to motivate interaction through ice breakers and get-to-know-you games.
Scholarship, Social, and Service Events
Regular Delta Kappa events focus around three main committees: Scholarship, Service and Social.
Scholarship events include simple get-togethers to watch documentaries and discussions, dance workshops, visiting museums, seeing musicals and even kick-boxing classes.
Service events range from building a shack for the Habitat For Humanity Shack-a-Thon, cleaning our campus, Adopt-a-Spot to helping with recruitment for Teach For America. The service committee has also created the Recycle Your Ass Off event in order to pick up items on campus that were not recycled.
