→Highlights of 2008
We did not face any major challenges this past year. There are a few goals that we set for ourselves and tried to work on. Our chapter organization was not as good as it could have been. The new VPO has come up with several good ideas for improving that, and we have already seen a change for the better. We were also not happy about being 4th in grades, so we set a goal to get back into the top 3. We were able to accomplish this, and we are currently 2nd. Another thing we really tried to work on is increasing our attendance at campus and chapter events. Overall, I think we accomplished our goal, but there is still room for improvement. We have been doing fun things such as "skippy jar", "senior spotlight", and "supportive sister" at chapter to try and encourage better attendance. We also awarded points for those who came to sister functions.

The previous calendar year was one to be remembered. Our chapter received the Recruitment award during the Kappa convention, and we also received two honorable mentioned awards. We had a successful recruitment in the fall and received a great new pledge class. We were also very thrilled to be number one in grades for the semester. We participated in many philanthropies as well as hosted our own in the spring to benefit Reading is Fundamental. Finally, our Chapter at Purdue just celebrated its 90th anniversary.
Purdue University is one of the largest university systems in the U.S. and ranks 66th among America's Best 100 Colleges. We are best known for our competitive engineering curriculum and aviation program. Purdue has very diverse students and classes. We have a beautiful campus with several architecturally known buildings and fountains.
Kappa Kappa Gamma was the fourth sorority at Purdue. We were founded on January 25, 1919 and we currently have the most members on campus. We currently have ninety girls living inside our house. Our house is just a short walk to campus and is one of the largest sorority houses on our campus. We currently have the highest GPA of any sorority. One of our members was the first female to hold voting power in Purdue's Student Government.
Transition period between new Chapter Council officers and old: Our Chapter typically struggles during the transition period between new officers and previous ones. This year, we brought in one of our advisors to help us out. She explained the importance of using our Leadership Guides as well as the many resources of help we have. She did a transition seminar for us which really helped make the transition smooth. Our new Chapter Council members feel much more comfortable in their positions and our goal is to meet all deadlines for the next calendar year.
