==Highlights of 2019==
Our chapter made it one of our goals this year to increase community involvment and support of our panhellenic brothers and sisters. Our Trunk-or-Treat philanthropy event was a huge success last year so we decided to continue the event. We partnered with the Manhattan public library to raise awareness for Reading is Fundamental (RIF), as well as give candy to families in the surrounding area and investing in the community around us. However, this year we invited other panhellenic and community organizations to join us at our Trunk-or-Treat event so we can support our community together. We are blessed to have so many self-motivated women in our chapter and because of this were able to have several additional philanthropy events. We put on the "KKBee" spelling bee at one of the local town coffee shops to raise money for RIF. We hosted a "Kappa Karwash" event at our house, and participated in the "Reading is Key" event as well as various book drives throughout the year. We are so thankful to have such warm-hearted and hard working young women in this house.
We may be hard working, but we also love some good ol' Kappa Kappa Grandma fun. Our formal this year was "Choose a Mister for Your Sister". Our women got to set their sisters up on blind dates for our formal event, it was a great way to meet new people and expand our Kappa community. Semi-formal was just as exciting with its theme, "Kappa Cotillion", and as always, we kept it Klassy.
We said goodbye to PC'15 and welcomed our new PC'19 women this year, but some things never change like our beloved house mom, Mom Jules, and house cook, Liz. We cannot talk these women up enough, they are phenomenal and make living in the house the experience of a lifetime. From Bachelor watch parties, ginger bread house decorating, outdoor movie nights, and frat boy Fridays, there's never a quite moment at 517 Fairchild Terrace and we are so thankful for the people that have provided us with this amazing opportunity to live with so many women we love. We are so excited for another year of memories.
Kansas State University is still known as one of the top college towns in the nation and our campus continues to grow. K-State has broken ground for our new Multi-Cultural Student Center that should be finished within the next few years. Similarly, the construction of the National Bio and Agro-defense Facility (NBAF) has made immense progress. We are so thankful that Hale Library has reopened the first floor after the fire that occurred two summers ago. Our students have enjoyed the study space that has provided and look forward to seeing the finished product. Kappa continues to be help in high regard on campus and plans to continue deepening our involvment with organizations outside of Kappa. Our members plan on investing in the Manhattan and Kansas State community to give back to the wonderful people who have given us so much love and support.
Our chapter supports Reading is Fundamental through local support. We chose this organization because we wanted to support this organization that we enjoy being apart of each year. We always love working with young children learning how to read and seeing our donations of books in the elementary in Manhattan being put to good use. We believe in empowering young people to pursue education and learn to love learning. Our chapter stands by the belief that you have to learn to read in order to read to learn. We love working with young students in their pursuit of learning and walking alongside the future generation of our society. RIF is a wonderful organization that provides us with so many opportunities to do that. We are so thankful for the educational privledges we have received and love handing those gifts down to the next generation of leaders and life long learners.
We also wanted to give our semester donation to nationals with the money collected for our philanthropy in the fall.
Every year we invite Gamma Alpha and various Kappa alumni to our house for our Founders Day celebration that takes place the Sunday after initiation weekend. We had a great turn out of alumni this year and enjoyed donuts, cider, and coffee to celebrate the new members and honor the women that founded our beloved organization.
