==Highlights of 2021==
 
 
This past year was very eventful for Kappa Beta Nu. January entailed virtual recruitment, that was something we all had to adapt to but ended with the best new member class of 56 girls. February had our bid day- Lucky to Be KKG, and March included big/little reveal and initiation. Our last two months of the semester included philanthropy events, ice cream socials (socially distanced), and our beloved seniors graduating. This fall semester, we have had move-in to our lovely house, hazing prevention speakers, informal recruitment, Dad’s weekend, Kappa Dog Days, homecoming and our Founder’s Day brunch, and Date Parties. Our chapter is at an overall 3.78 GPA and we have had girls apply for many scholarships/internships/jobs. Our chapter goal is to continue to cultivate sisterhood throughout the chapter especially within the two newest member classes, as they have been mostly virtual throughout their membership.
 
 
Our local philanthropy has been Mental Health America of Franklin County for the past 5 years. When Kappa was still partnered with RIF, we would volunteer with our local elementary and middle school, Graham, to go and do read aloud’s and volunteer with the classrooms on many occasions. Through the pandemic, we did a lot of virtual fundraisers for MHA Franklin County, organized a book drive and our wonderful philanthropy chairs created a virtual library where our members read different books and the students could select videos of the ones they wanted to hear. We also participated in philanthropy events from our other PHA and IFC organizations on campus.
 
 
Now that Kappa nationally has switched to Mental Health America, we have been donated all funds raised to this organization. We held Kappa Dog Days in September and raised almost $2500 in a weekend. We have more events for volunteering and fundraising planned for the upcoming semester, including Kappa Walking Tacos.
 
 
This past year, we added a DEI officer into our executive council. With our philanthropy, we have focused a lot more on mental health, specifically mental health within our chapter. Our DEI officer has organized yoga and meditation events for members, created social media posts to raise awareness, and does a 10-minute DEI presentation during every chapter meeting. We are so excited to see what this position will continue to do.
 
 
During the pandemic, we had to change and adapt in many ways. The biggest thing we had to face was how to keep our sisterhood alive and engaging, even when we were not allowed to do anything in person. Recruitment, bid day, initiation and all of our sisterhood events were held virtually/on Zoom. It was definitely something that we all had to adapt to, and wish we could have done in person, but we love our New Members and are so excited we still got to have events, even if they were done in a distanced setting. We have now started doing events following Kappa National guidelines and our city’s mandates, and get tested bi-weekly. Our chapter as a whole has created a payment plan system for everyone, to take a bit of stress of financials in these times, which has received great feedback. Our sisterhood has grown stronger through these times.
