Trying Something New

With summer coming to a close it's time to start thinking about heading back to Lawrence. Along with the usual work week and formal recruitment that consumes the Delta Gammas in the first few weeks back at 1015 Emery Road, it is also a time where many goals are being set for the coming semester. Whether it be to recruit an amazing new member class, improve grades, or try to get more involved on campus, the dee gees are always coming up with ways to better the Beta Kappa chapter. My personal goal for DG since I was elected vp: communications last winter has been to improve this position as a whole. Recently, while wasting time between work and summer classes I decided it was time to amp up Beta Kappa's PR by coming up with new ways to keep collegians as well as alumna in the know about what's going on in Lawrence. That's where this whole blog idea came from.

The whole summer I have been focusing on one big project for my position: an entirely new website. While checking out other DG websites to get ideas for our own I stumbled upon a blog by the Mizzou Delta Gammas. After reading through a couple posts, I fell in love with the idea. That's when I decided it was time we tried something new this semester: our very own blog. Initially, I was worried to take on another big project that seemed to be a lot of work, but contrary to my belief it has actually been really fun. Creating this has even reminded me of my old MySpace and Xanga days. Although it started out feeling the exact same, I'll try to keep this blog a little more mature and spare all of you the latest middle school drama that overwhelmed my old Xangas. Instead, I will try to keep updating with the latest news that's buzzing around the house and on campus. So, here goes nothing!



Welcome to the Beta Kappa blog, Enjoy!!
