Reading is Fundamental is Kappa’s national philanthropy, so they were an obvious choice when it came to deciding where to send money we had raised. Many members spend time in local schools, helping teachers and tutoring students. Unfortunately, Charlottesville is an area that has a few schools that are incredible underfunded. Being a source of help for them, and being a resource they can lean back on has really meant a lot to our chapter. The power of education cannot be understated, and this is a big way we can contribute to that mission and cause. Additionally, the Rose McGill aid helps so many people, and we knew that whatever funds we could allocate that way would go to great use.

This calendar year was a great year for the Epsilon Sigma chapter as we focused on improving our ritual and continuing to focus on our strong sense of sisterhood and community. We have sisters involved in many philanthropies, such as volunteering at the hospital, tutoring at the local jail, and coaching young children's sports teams. Our sisters are also very involved at UVA, winning the Batten Chili Cookout, participating in Alternative Spring Breaks, and serving as tour guides on the UVA grounds. As we look to the future, we are still focusing on our Capital Campaign, aiming to continue raising funds for a new house.
Our school is becoming increasingly diverse, and as a result, our chapter has decided to implement a Diversity Chair. This chair's job is to promote diversity and inclusion in the chapter, as well as keep the chapter updated on different events around campus.
We support Reading is Fundamental. We are passionate about ensuring that young children have the resources available to learn how to read. Giving children ready access to books is essential to their growth and development, and also necessary to inspire a love of learning.
