Winter Quarter Newsletter

As winter is winding down here in Chicago, we are happy to welcome our sisters back on campus from a restful spring break. Here is a quick glimpse of how our sisters spent their winter quarter.

Love and Friendship,

alpha Kappa Delta Phi

UChicago Associate Chapter

This quarter we successfully crossed our Spring 2017 class, nu nutrients. On March 10th, the three girls officially became a part of the best sisterhood. Shoutout to our amazing New Member Educator Jessica "toki" Lee for all her efforts. We are extremely proud of what they accomplished during the past weeks and can't wait to see them step up their roles as our sisters! Also thanks to all the sisters who came to support UChicago Associate Chapter!

Introducing:

The sisters have decided to have Breakfast for Dinner on January 4th, enjoying various kinds of cereal, milk, and fruits while watching the classic film of Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Shoutout to our Sisterhood Chair Tori "RONIN" Hu for hosting a great sisterhood event!

On January 19th, our sisters have participated in and performed at the Arrowfest 2018 event with UChicago Pi Beta Phi to show our support for their philanthropic efforts to raise awareness for child literacy.

Thanks to our amazing Performance Chair Carol "Wonderland" Wang and all the sisters who performed for putting together an amazing show!

On February 14th, our sisters went to Greater Chicago Food Depository and helped with the packaging of pears, which would be distributed across the Chicago community. We hope people would stay warm and fed in the chilly weather and we are so glad to help via the platform of Greater Chicago Food Depository.

On February 10th, the sisters contributed their winter clothes and sold them to the local thrift shop. The money we made has all been donated to Deborah's Place, a women's' shelter here in Chicago.

Thanks to our amazing VP-Service Jessica "mimosa" Cheng and Service Chair Sarah "stArkISs'd" Tinaphong for organizing two great service events this quarter!

On February 27th, our sisters collaborated with Asian Americans Advancing Justice-Chicago in phone banking with the goal to empower Asian Americans to participate and vote in upcoming Illinois' March gubernatorial primaries. We hope that we can help raise the voting awareness of the Asian American community here in Illinois.

Thanks to our Cultural Chair Jacky "fireDROP" Wu for organizing such a meaningful cultural event!

Our sisters also had a great time bonding with the brothers of UChicago Delta Kappa Epsilon on January 25th. Shoutout to everyone who has participated in this mixer, which has further brought the UChicago Greek community together.

Our sisters had a mixer with the UChicago Epsilon Club under the theme "Ex-Valentine's Day" on February 15th. This was a great bonding experience and thanks to everyone who participated in this mixer, which definitely brought the UChicago Greek community further together.

Shoutout to our Social Chair Carol "Wonderland" Wang and VP-External Yili "QUEEN YI" Xiong for organizing such two exciting events for the quarter!

On February 28th, our sisters pulled up a fundraiser in collaboration with Panda Express. We delivered dinners to UChicago students all over the campus and ended up with substantial gains.
