Welcome to Kellie!

Kellie and I, from left to right

      
      When I first came up with the concept for this blog and began writing in January, I had no idea of the span and impact The Delta Diaries would have. It has reached far beyond families and alumni, the Carolina Community, and even our own Tri Delta Executive Office. I can honestly say that as I write this, our fledgling blog has grown to have well over 40,000 views, and readers in all 50 states and around the world! Today, I wanted to write one last goodbye post for the blog that has been my baby for the past year.

      Upon becoming VPPR, one of the things I hoped to change was some of the negative light that is unfortunately frequently thrown upon Greek Life nationally. That’s what makes headlines- not the phenomenal work that many members of Greek organizations contribute on a daily basis to our community and beyond. Through The Delta Diaries, we have been able to share all of this good- the philanthropy, the sisterhood, and the amazing individual members that make up our chapter and the incredible successes they are making out of themselves. I can only hope that by doing these things it has given some people a new view on what we are really up to in our sororities. 

     Lastly, to those reading this right now, thank you! Thank you to all of the friends, grandparents, professors, alumni, and many more who cherish these stories like we do. If it weren’t for you, this blog could never have been successful.  

     Most importantly, I want to introduce our brand new Vice President of Public Relations- Kellie McKinney! From now on, the posts and more that you all see on The Delta Diaries every day will be handled entirely by her. Kellie is a junior studying Public Relations from Bel Air, Maryland and truly, if I could have single handedly chosen the next VPPR it would have been her. I have no doubt that she will take the position and blog to new levels and do an even better job, and I couldn’t be prouder of her!  

Delta love and all of mine,
Ashley Claussen
