Our chapter supports St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital because we believe that these children deserve the chance to receive the treatment that they need. While these families already have to deal with the struggles that come with the sickness, we attempt to alleviate financial issues by donating our philanthropic funds. Kappa Kappa Gamma also supports Reading is Fundamental because this program benefits the children that are here in our own community. We donate money and books to the children at undeveloped schools. Members of our chapter visit these schools and have one-on-one time to meet and interact with the children that these books are going to. It is so rewarding to see where our money is going and how much joy it brings to the children and their families.
==Highlights of 2019==
Our Chapter President, Dani Hebert received the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation Scholarship this past year. Anna Duplechin and Helen Mason recieved the LSU Accounting Scholarship. Sarah Crump, Mary Oliver, and Rainey Charbonnet were elected to the Interior Design Club executive board. Caroline Mitchell received the Kappa Kappa Gamma Scholarship. Anna Huthnance received the Ruth Vordenbaumen Award. Elizabeth Cole received the NWLA SHRM Scholarship. We participated in a tradition we have had here at LSU with Phi Beta Phi called "Monmouth" where we do a friendly field day competition. Our goal was to put on a successful recruitment and get a great pledge class. WE are in a temporary house, while our new Kappa house is being built, and we did a great job and reached our goal. We had a few girls attend the convention in Atlanta with one of our advisors.
The recent changes on campus include the new instated rule of no hard alcohol at Greek life
events. Since there was a death of a fellow Greek like fraternity member on LSU's campus,
this rule has been in place. There is also a new hazing policy and there is a zero tolerance for hazing on
LSU's campus. The chapter's overall nature is cooperative with these new rules in place
and we understand why these are important rules to keep all of Greek life safe.
The Delta Iota chapter supports the St. Jude's Dream Day Foundation. We choose to support this because the
co-founder Ms. Marty, was an LSU Kappa herself. We help put on an event on her farm in Clinton, Louisiana for St. Jude's patients and their Families.
To celebrate Founders Day this year, we rented the ballroom at the student union and had a sit down catered lunch. The whole chapter, our House Mom, and advisors come to celebrate Founders Day! We ate lunch and then we had a short reading about the Founders (Chapter council members read the parts of the Founders). This year we started the tradition of giving an award for each founder and the girl who receives it is someone who embodies their attributes. We also honor all of our members who got a 4.0 GPA or higher in the previous semester. We kicked off the sesquicentennial, 150th anniversary at Founders Day this year. There will be more celebrations to come next year from the new Executive Board, as our chapter pilots the new officer structure for the Fraternity.
