−	As this year began, formal recruitment was the weekend of January 26-28. With recruitment, we brought twenty new ladies into Kappa Kappa Gamma! It was such an inspiring moment to see new ladies that will soon represent our chapter. About a month later, we had our annual event which we let the Girl Scouts sell cookies under our canopy!!! That happened on February 27th, and it brought so many happy faces to our canopy! It was a great time bonding with young girls on a college campus. Shortly following was the BIG week! Big and Little week was through February 26-March 4! March 4th was an exciting day to the big and littles who got paired together! We loved seeing the littles finally find their mentor and model for life. On March 7th was Blue and Blue! It was nice to see everyone dressed up and hear the big speak out about what they want their little to gain from Kappa. Now the day everyone was waiting for was coming, on March 10th!!! Finally initiation day has arrived and everyone is beyond ecstatic to finally grant the new members as official members of Kappa Kappa Gamma. It was great to see alumni come back and meet the new Spring 2018 class. That following week was Pi Kappa Phi's war of the roses week! Our sister Denise participated to be one of the nominees for Rose Queen. Although she did not take the title of Rose Queen, the chapter won the War of the Roses competition and were gifted a huge trophy. In the next week, Sigma Chi's Derby Days week was in action! Surprisingly with their philanthropy week, Kappa took another win! We were second ad third the whole week and swept the win at the end! Along with winning Derby Days, our sister Ritu was selected for their Derby Darling. On April 5th, we had another annual event, Beautiful Lengths! With this event, we cut people's hair for free and donate what we receive to cancer patients. We had a cosmetology school come and cut hair for the ones who volunteered! Following that on April 14th, we had Sapphire ball! The night everyone has been waiting for... it was such a delightful time seeing everyone dressed up lovely with their dates! Soon after Sapphire, we teamed up with Alpha Phi Omega to host a book carnival for kids on April 20th. It was nice to bond with a professional fraternity and be on the same page for our causes. We collected many boxes of books, it was a great turnout! Lastly, on April 22th we held the last chapter of the semester!!!!! Finals kicked in and sisters were studying hard! On a final note, Spring 2018 commencement was held on May 12th and 13th. We enjoyed seeing our sisters succeed and finally walk the stage! Nothing better than an O'Pat!!! Am I right?

−	As school started once again in Fall 2018, we slated for some positions welcoming a new VPO, VPAE, House/Registrar, Public Relations, Risk/Management, and Corresponding/Recording Secretary. The sisters given these positions transitioned very well and it was nice to see how they adjusted so quick. As this semester began quickly, many other organizations had their philanthropy weeks this semester. This semester we participated in COB which was the week of September 10-14. There were events such as yoga and games to get to know one another. At the end of the week, we gained three new members of Kappa Kappa Gamma. These new members really showed us how they would contribute to Kappa Kappa Gamma with their values and nature. Later, our sister Irene who is our Public Relations chairman was granted the Kappa Sigma sweetheart position during the week of September 24-28! The big day of the semester was approaching!!! Founder's Day!! This celebration was held at Five.Ten. Bistro. and brought together all the members and alumni. It was sweet to bond about a day that means so much to each and everyone of us. At this event, our lovely sister Ashley was chosen to be the recipient of the Toni Gaestel Spirit of Kappa award! She embodies Kappa's values and inspires us with her love and passion for Kappa. To add, she also is our philanthropy chairman. Following this week was Delta Gamma's Anchor Splash week, our sister Michaela who is our Events chairman ran for their anchor woman! Although she did not win, it was a close race and we are glad she participated! The week after that, our sister Josie who is our VPAE chairman ran for Pi Lambda Phi's Lioness during October 15th-18th. It was a close competition, but we worked hard to get her to win in the end!!! Our chapter was so proud to see the ladies who stand on chapter council put theirselves out there to create bonds between other organizations! It was a sweet year to be a Kappa with all the success we have had with philanthropy weeks. Speaking of philanthropy weeks, our week has come!!! Kappa Kup was the week of November 14-16. Our amazing Public Relations chairman and Philanthropy chairman came up with a fascinating and fun week for the other organizations. Our events consisted of book drives, pie eating contest, hoot at a key, and a lip sync battle! Unfortunately, Kappa Kup could not happen due to the horrible air quality so it is postponed for next semester. However, the new Mr. and Mrs. K sweethearts are Erick from Pi Lambda Phi and Mira from Delta Gamma! These two have shown tremendous amounts of effort throughout the week and it obviously did not go unnoticed! With our philanthropy week, we raised about $2,500 and collected over 1000 books to give to the Friends of the Merced County Library. On November 17th, our new members got initiated at Fresno State, since we only got three new members. To end, the slate for the new officers was presented on November 25th. Our last chapter was held on December 2nd! Here's to another great year of being a Kappa!

 Philanthropy: In our community, we have the Women’s Valley Crisis Center which is a place where women and children that have been domestically abused can go to do seek shelter, food, and any materials they may need to survive. As a chapter, we are not allowed to physically go and donate our time so instead we hold various fundraisers to donate money, clothes, materials, etc. to the center.  Why did your chapter choose this organization(s) to support?  As women, we felt that we should support women who do not have the privileges and opportunities that we have. These women are put in situations and helping them find a way out is all we can do.
