→Highlights of 2017
Our Chapter chose to donate the money raised from our philanthropy to four causes. Reading is Fundamental, Kappa's national philanthropy and something we all hold very important in our chapter. IUDM, a sacred tradition locally and on our campus. American Cancer Society, which we have donated to for the past few years and is something very important to many of our members. New this year, the Christopher Reeves Foundation was suggested to us by one of our new members as they helped her dad in recovery from a spinal cord injury, preventing his paralysis. We had our chapter vote on which new organization we would donate to this year, so that members felt connected and included in what the money they worked hard to raise supported.
==Highlights of 2018==
In January, we welcomed 53 new amazing members. Over the past year, we've had many extraordinary events at our chapter. In February, we had our annual Mom's Weekend. It was so much fun for everyone, especially our new members who got to experience this for the first time. In September, we had Kappasta which had a great turnout and made the chapter get closer. We raised numerous amounts of donations for IUDM, Reading is Fundamental (our national philanthophy), Camp Kessem, and The Lupus Foundation. We chose Camp Kessem and The Lupus Foundation since two of our new members were directly impacted by these foundations in the past.
In October, we participated in Safe Halloween again, which consists of chapters in the Greek Community passing candy out to children. In November, we participated in IUDM and were nominated top fundraising sorority at IU. This was an incredible honor as we all worked so hard to get as many donations as possible. We also continued our Reading for Rogers program which new members were especially excited about as most of them signed up right away. Along with Reading for Rogers, we continued to encourage the growth of our average GPA, and we recognized outstanding GPA's at our Scholarship Banquet and at Formal Dinners.
