Along with our president’s badge, we have two new historical badges. The Susanna Eibel Young award is given to the girl with the highest cumulative GPA at the end of her junior year. Susanna Eibel Young and her mother were instrumental in the founding of Kappa on our campus. We have the VPS badge that is passed down from VPS to VPS. It belonged to Debra Harstad, who was a part of the graduating class of 2012 and served as VPS during her time in Kappa.
