		+	Why did the chapter choose this organization? We support all three philanthropies throughout different efforts during the year. We support the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation because it helps our sisters we are in need of financial supports affected by natural diseasters or situations like COVID-19.

We created a diversity, equity, and inclusion chairwoman to transition with the incoming council. She will have a committee that represents each class of women in our chapter and the education chair. She will facilitate conversation and hold educational programs about diversity, equity, and inclusion.
