Each senior received a sign of what sisters in the chapter thought they were mostly known as in their time in Kappa. For example, most likely to know all the song lyrics by Taylor Swift. At the end of the night, Seniors left the venue through a sparkler arch created by their fellow sisters holding sparklers.
