==Highlights of 2019==
In 2019 many events happened within our chapter. We gave awards for those with the highest GPA within our sorority as well as holding a dinner for those who achieved a high GPA. Our house board additionally gave awards to women who lived within the sorority in addition to women who made a big difference within our house. Our chapter goals of 2019 included having a smooth recruitment process that went exceptionally well. We had a fantastic recruitment process that led to a wonderful pledging and initiation period of our new members. This year in December the chapter faced a challenge through the "Not again SU" movement that effected many women in the chapter. The way in which this was addressed was through a chapter meeting in which the fundamental issues were discussed, additionally in this meeting we emphasized that Kappa Kappa Gamma was a safe space for all the women in our sorority. This movement was meant to shine a light on the mistreatment of people of color on the Syracuse Campus. This prompted our chapter to host many diversity workshops. In addition to creating a new position for our chapter Diversity Chair.
In September 2019 we had our senior surveys handed out on the first so that their experience could be recorded, and information could be given to the chapter about our seniors. On the fourth of September we had a PC19 and seniors fireside and dinner to continue emphasizing the importance of sisterhood and community. We also had a senior programming night in September in addition to EME training. Furthermore, we had our scholarship dinner where those with a high GPA in our sorority were awarded. Additionally, we had Kappa Kar wash our philanthropy in which we raised money for Reading is Fundemental.
In October 2019 we had another EME training in addition to the celebration of Founders Day on the 13th.
The Chapter celebrated funders day 2019 in a unique way. Our chapter Marshal at the time Kayla, hosted the ritual for the day. Which was followed by a brunch where speeches about kappa and out founders were given and alumni from the past years came to visit and participate. Furthermore, our chapter archives were placed around our chapter room and library so that women could reflect on the years before and speak to each other about how things have evolved and changed through the years.
On the Saturday following Founders Day we had Kappa Parents weekend in which we showed off our amazing chapter and house to the parents visiting. In October we also had PC18 dinner in which they could all strengthen their bonds as new members of our sorority. To celebrate Halloween at the chapter house, the entire sorority was invited to pumpkin carve at the chapter and celebrate Halloween with their sisters.
In November 2019 we had informal chapter elections in addition to an all house recruitment practice. Through this month we begun to get prepared for recruitment and prepare PC18 to be on the other side of recruitment. On the 12th we had EXPO at Goldstein Auditorium which involved many women from our sorority going to represent our house to potential members. In November we additionally had an all house Thanksgiving dinner which was a wonderful way to all come together before leaving for our Thanksgiving break.
In December 2019 the house hosted an In-House Christmas Dinner and Cheerful Cherub event which excited all the members and reinforced the bonds of our sisterhood. During this month we also prepared for recruitment and participated in many philanthropies.
We also participated in many philanthropic events in this calendar year that helped raise thousands of dollars for philanthropies other than our own.
We continually choose Reading is Fundamental due to the importance of education in our community and communities around the world. As a chapter we recognize that knowledge is power and in order to create a more connected world we need to come together and educate one another. Furthermore, we believe in this organization because it provides so much to communities that are not as fortunate as our own. We believe that through our philanthropies we are able to make a difference in the lives of so many and create a lasting impact.
