In conclusion, our chapter hosted our first Girls' Academy at a local school in Dallas. Girls Academy is a week-end long program designed to teach, motivate and empower middle school girls to be proud of who they are and comfortable in this won skins which is a cause that our chapter women really identified with and enjoyed volunteering in and putting on the event.
We meet in the dining room of our chapter house on the SMU campus.
==Highlights of 2018==
After finally being lifted from probation we have been making an effort to boost the morale and ensure that everyone is enjoying their time in the chapter. With the new academic standard Kappa has set, we have been trying to work with the chapter to try to ensure a fair GPA is set, we concluded for a 2.5 for actives and 2.7 for new members. We also held a Founders Day event in which Kappa's from 50 and 70+ years came and enjoyed an afternoon with our chapter and sharing stories from their past. We also won the Chapter and Advisory Board Relations award at Convention, a huge honor after coming off of probation win which we were constantly praised for our improvement and commitment to betting the Gamma Phi chapter's name as well as community service efforts.
No recent changes on campus, Panhellenic Board has created different guidelines and mandatory events for Greek life and our chapter has made an effort to comply with all decisions they have set.
Our chapter supports the Akola and Dallas Genesis Women's Shelter. At Kappa Karnival with SAE we raised $1560 for both the Dallas Genesis Women's Shelter(which we chose because it is local charity that provides support to domestic violence victims) and Akola Project(chosen because it was started by an SMU Kappa alumna and promotes female leadership/entrepreneurship)
