==Highlights of 2014==
We began the year welcoming 47 new members into the Beta pledge class. Bid Day occurred on Feb. 2nd and was an exciting afternoon filled with laughter, smiles, and picture taking. Then we had big little reveal on Feb 27th, which was one of the most fun evenings of last year! Next, we had our philanthropy event for the semester. We went to a local elementary school in DC where we read to kids and donated books to their school. It was inspiring to see so many Kappas passionate about helping Reading is Fundamental. Then we had our spring formal, which was a blast! Next was initiation, a special time for everyone as the Beta class officially joined the family. Over the summer, we sent five girls to represent Eta Tau and the Kappa Convention in Houston, Texas. The girls learned so much about their respective positions and how to benefit the chapter as a whole. Beginning the next semester, we went to the Founders Day event that the local DC Kappa Alumni group hosted. It was so amazing to see how ladies are so passionate about Kappa even beyond their college years. Then we had our winter formal in December and it was a wonderful evening full of sisterhood and friends.
Now for our chapter goals. We first off wanted to improve knowledge of ritual across the entire chapter. We worked on this goal by our Marshal having office hours where she let people learn more about it and answered any questions members might have had. We also wanted to improve sisterhood within the chapter. We worked on this goal by increasing the number of sisterhood events per month and thinking of creative of fun activities to do as a whole chapter. For example, our VPS scheduled a Kappa Halloween pumpkin carving activity one night in October that all of our sisters loved!
We recently gained more rights as a non recognized student group on campus. For instance, we now have the ability to table at more places on campus and rent out rooms. We owe this progress to the student government here at Georgetown. Another change that occurred this past year was a big one: the addition of another Panhellinc sorority here on campus, Kappa Alpha Theta. With this addition we expanded greek life and welcomed new friends into our lives. This makes two Panhellenic sororities here at Georgetown now. The establishment of Theta also led to the beginnings of the formation of a Panhellenic Council later in the year. We elected two members from our Chapter to represent Kappa on the council. Our chapter consists of over a 100 passionate girls that form a powerful presence of campus by having high standards of academic excellence and crazy, fun sisterhood events that bring us closer to our sisters each day. I know that each and everyone of my sisters would say that joining Kappa has been one of there best choices of their college life.
We hold chapter meetings in a University classroom on campus that we reserve each week. We do not have a house.
