proud to wear their letters. We’ve become much closer this semester and feel like a real
family.
==Highlights of 2019 ==
In February we participated in formal recruitment for the first time. We were so excited to receive our Alpha new member class on Bid Day! We were even happier to initiate 48 women into our chapter in April.
This fall brought many sisterhood events, with activities like group fitness events, apple picking, tie-dying and a "Secret-Santa" gift-exchange. While we didn't welcome a new member class this semester, we are grateful for these activities that helped us grow together as a chapter. We were also proud to volunteer in the greater Binghamton community throughout the year.
We had sisters complete hours by volunteering in a non-profit coffee shop, soup kitchen, participating in Dance Marathon and much more. Each of our sisters completes 10 hours of community service per semester. On October 9 we had our Reading Is Key event. Our sisters went to Horace Mann Elementary School and painted pumpkins, read books and made sure every student who participated went home with a book.
For our 149th Founders Day, we celebrated the history of Kappa. We did this by playing Kahoot to test Kappa Knowledge and by having our chapter members give speeches about what Kappa has meant to them. We also purchased cupcakes and cookies that were blue, to represent Kappas colors. Members were also given the option to purchase Founder's Day t-shirts, which was another way for our members to show their Kappa pride.
In November, we formed a nomination committee and installed our new Chapter Council on November 24th.
The chapter support The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, because one of our sisters suffered from cancer and wasn't able to be at Binghamton for the 2018-2019 school year. This was our way of letting her know that we support her and were thinking of her all last year. We were so happy to have her back this semester and were grateful to be able to show our support this way.
