→Highlights of 2020s:
Sesquicentennial Celebration: We plan to conduct a similar ceremony to Founders Day, where we host local alumnae for a brunch to celebrate the anniversary.
==Highlights of 2020s:==58 Kappa girls received a 4.0 this semester, and we ranked second out of 15 sororities in GPA. One member became an app launch coordinator for Flaire, another ran a half marathon, and another received the Quentin Alcorn memorial merit scholarship. Kappa members volunteered for organizations such as Pancakes for Parkinson's, the BIG Event at UVA, Greens to Grounds, Alternative Spring Break at UVA, worked at a local church soup kitchen, and gave TED talks this year. Our chapter was affected by COVID-19 in many ways, but most notably we had to conduct a virtual initiation for our members who could not attend initiation, and for our new COBs this fall. New members also did not get to have a "Big Sis" week with their big sisters in the spring which includes socializing and getting to know older members. Finally, we plan to hold our winter recruitment online. Our chapters also in a period of change because our house is being completely renovated. Our third-year girls have been living at a different location on Madison Rd instead of Rugby Rd.
"Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" - We added a DEI officer last year. This year, she created an antiracism website resource for sisters and a statement in the wake of George Floyd'''Philanthropy:'''s death. She has also been working to make recruitment more fair and has collaborated with the broader ISC community at UVA. Finally, one of her most recent pursuits has been creating a financial aid package for prospective members so they do not have to refrain from joining Kappa for financial reasons.
"Sesquicentennial Celebration" - We held a virtual ceremony.
