The only sorority on campus is trying to expand its group with more members after the group took a break during the pandemic.
Delta Zeta has seven members in its group. Shaylee Beck is the president of the sorority.
She is a sophomore health and sports science major with a minor in biology from White Deer, Texas.
As the president, she helps everyone in the sorority out when they need it, she said. She also is the academic chair.
Beck said the group is recruiting new members all the time.
“We try to hold sisterhoods [where] we all get together and invite people to come with us,” Beck said. “They can join if they would like to, or if someone on campus sees one of the members on campus and they ask us, we can give them a bid.”
Delta Zeta raised money for Valentine’s Day by selling roses and giving the money they made to the Northwestern Foundation & Alumni Association.
The only scholarship available to the sorority is to the president.
The members can decide who they want to be the president, and if there are multiple candidates, then they talk with the college chapter director. Then, the director decides who is eligible, and the members of the sorority take a vote on who they want to be president.
There are plans to repaint the sorority room, Jesse Dunn Room 107, because the room is not painted in the sorority colors.
Delta Zeta’s colors are pink and green with accents of purple and grey.
Jean Dodds is a senior health and sports science major with a minor in education from Enid and is the sisterhood’s chair.
Her responsibility is to plan events for the members to be around each other and bond.
Dodds said she tries to get the members excited about the events she puts on. She said there is always food involved, and sometimes, they watch a movie.
Dodds said the group is also trying to get the sorority room cleaned up and organized from the years prior.
