The Gamma Chi chapter looks forward to upholding the values of Kappa Kappa Gamma and will continue to move in a positive direction meeting our goals as a chapter.
==Highlight 2016==
The 2016 calendar year proved to be eventful for the Gamma Chi chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma. We have capitalized on the goals we set in years prior to ultimately be productive and increase our chapter standing. Our sisters have prioritized pursuing the values of a Kappa woman as they know they proudly wear their letters twenty-four seven. At the beginning of the year, Gamma Chi learned that we would remain on probation in order for headquarters to ensure that we reach our maximum potential. With their help, we know that we can achieve greatness within the Greek community at the George Washington University.
The spring 2015 semester concluded the academic year with many exciting achievements and events. We hosted an Alice in Wonderland themed day party, won Beta Theta Pi’s philanthropy, and had a laser tag sisterhood event that fostered bonding and friendship. We kick off the 2016-2017 school year off with formal recruitment beginning in late September. The University thought this was a more appropriate time for recruitment as it did not interfere with finals as it did in years prior. We welcomed 45 new members that all possessed the values we set out to look for: positivity, sisterly, involvement, scholarly. We followed recruitment with a Big Little week where our new members were showered in gifts from their loving Bigs.
In order to better integrate these new members into Gamma Chi, we held two sisterhood events, our annual Kappa Kickball, and two social events throughout the semester. “Omniscape” was our first sisterhood event where sisters divided into teams to use given clues in order to devise a code to “escape the room” they were placed in. We followed this event with a “The Great Gatsby” themed crush party. As we danced the night away in our pearls and fringe dresses, we enjoyed the catered &Pizza and embraced the new additions to our Kappa families. Following this social event, we had multiple programming work shops in the hope of increasing our knowledge and functionality to be a productive, responsible chapter. These workshops included another visit from the Title IX office who led a Sexual Assault and Prevention workshop and a Kappa alum who educated us on Alcohol consumption. In addition to our annual philanthropy week which concludes with Kappa Kickball, we commuted to the Boys and Girls club to read and do homework with the after school students who attend. Our sisters who attended were welcomed with hugs and joy from the children who valued our assistance so greatly. We were able to gift the children with the goody bags filled with markets, coloring pages, and stickers that we made with Potential New Members during philanthropy night of recruitment. Gamma Chi ended the semester with another sisterhood event involving a trip to the National Zoo for the annual Zoo Lights show. Each and everyone one of these events fostered commradery and love amongst the many sisters of Gamma Chi.
In addition to our dedication to our sisterhood, Gamma Chi woman have proved to be academically successful. We had four women earning 4.0 GPAs, and countless sisters with prominent internships such as interning for the White House. Our sisters give back to the community as well, as one of our members is training to become a CorePower instructor, and another serves as the President of Chabad.
The members of Gamma Chi are successful not only in their endeavors as dedicated sisters of Kappa Kappa Gamma, but also as members of society in an academic and social setting. With the help of our newly elected Chapter Council, our chapter will continue to be led in a positive direction hopefully resulting in Gamma Chi being placed off of probation. The 2016-2017 Chapter Council is full of dynamic women with fresh ideas, and exciting passion. We have recently held a Leadership Day where the outgoing Chapter Council was able to pass on incite to the incoming Chapter Council. This day was very productive because very positions advisor was there and were able to pass on new ideas and knowledge to the incoming Chapter Council. This day will insure that there will be a smooth transition between the outgoing and incoming Chapter Council.
We are very proud of what our chapter has accomplished this academic year and we hope to continue to grow as a chapter and increase our sisterhood.
