 The previous calendar year was an exciting and rewarding time for Ole Miss Kappas. Our chapter experienced great successes both locally and around the globe. Kappa became increasingly involved in other chapters' philanthropies and was named Pi Kappa Alpha's Powder Puff Champion. In addition to Kappa Karnival and Barbecue for Books, two separate groups of Ole Miss Kappas traveled to Haiti and Kenya for Feed the Hunger, a community-wide project started by our chapter. These Kappas delivered meals we packed during our annual Pack-A-Thon, benefiting Feed the Hunger. Our chapter received national recognition for our work with Feed the Hunger. In addition, our chapter won the Kappa Kappa Gamma Best Philanthropy in our Region award, which we are very proud of. The Ole Miss Order of Omega awarded our chapter the Chancellor's Cup for Best Overall Sorority on Campus largely due to our devoted philanthropic work. The Order of Omega also named Alli Bridgers (freshman) its Most Outstanding New Member on Campus, an award given to a Kappa for the second year in a row.
-In the previous year, Ole Miss Kappas became increasingly involved in scholastic and ASB affairs. Allie Hearnsberger (senior) was named the Most Outstanding Marketing and Corporate Relations Student Award. Allie Winters (sophomore) ran for Ole Miss ASB Secretary and won her campaign with her Kappa sisters by her side. Every member of our chapter served her campaign and two members were chosen for her campaign team. The ASB Senate Chair was held by Megan Richter (freshman), Caroline Golson and Elizabeth Moore (freshmen) were on the ASB Election Commission, and Pierce Vaughan (freshman) was elected ASB Secretarial Office Assistant. Five Kappas participated in the Ole Miss Parade of Beauties. Jennie Katherine Ellis (senior) was voted Ole Miss Campus Favorite in student elections.  Every year we strive to improve our academics. In 2013, many Kappas were inducted into the Order of Omega, Rho Lambda, Gamma Beta Phi, and the National Society for Collegiate Scholars for their outstanding academics.

 On Bid Day we welcomed 116 wonderful new members into our sisterhood after a very successful recruitment. Our chapter's overall goal for 2013 was to become more philanthropically involved. We not only addressed this goal but met it with great success through our Feed the Hunger trips. We also made great efforts to be aware of other Greek philanthropic events and encouraged our members to participate as much as possible.  Our biggest challenge last year was facing our continued period of academic probation. However, our chapter chooses to view this period of probation as a time to help our sisters as much as possible. Monitored study hours were held at least once a day, if not more, in our house and in the library. This ensured that girls who are on academic period of concern set aside time for their classes and assignments. Girls also met with the Vice President of Academic Excellence to create a personal academic improvement plan. Our daily challenges included ensuring only one guest was brought to dinner per week, picking up after ourselves around the house, and staying quiet late at night to respect girls who live in the house.

 Overall, our chapter is very enthusiastic and passionate in all that we do. Though our chapter is very large we pride ourselves on our close-knit relationships. We feel that our sisterhood is one of the most rewarding experiences of our college careers and something we will undoubtedly cherish long after we graduate. Each sister benefits from Kappa in her own way. Not a day goes by that we don't find ourselves laughing with our sisters. There is always something going on for us to do together, whether it be a sisterhood event, a night out, or spending hours in the library studying for an upcoming test. Because our chapter is so large, we make great efforts to know not only girls in our own pledge classes, but the girls older and younger than us. We strive to help each other and our community any way we can. We also plan to become even more involved in campus activities in the coming semesters.

There are only 56 spaces in the house, which is not enough spaces to accommodate the entire chapter. The first people to get spots in the house are the girls on Chapter Council. After that, Rush Team will then take up spaces. After that there are usually about 10 spots that are filled with girls who have the most points. This is our only house in the history of our chapter.
