'''Historical excerpts:'''
 
“Anna Willits, Minnie Stewart, Jennie Boyd and Louise Bennett!
Founders ye of Kappa Gamma …
Would that you had left more record
of your life in Alpha Chapter …”
 
(from the report of '''Florence Burton Roth''', Beta Delta--''Michigan'', Historian at the 1916 General Convention, Ithaca, New York)
 
“Forty years is a long time to remember what did not seem too very important at the time …” ('''Martha Louisa Stevenson Miller''', ''Monmouth'')
 
“We were just a happy, harmonious group of lively girls with a keen sense of loyalty to Kappa and to each other, with strict regard to the quality of membership and sacredness of our badge … there seemed little to record … as so many of us lived in Monmouth, we clung together and held our meetings for some years after fraternities were banished … the chapter finally became only a memory.” ('''Alice Pillsbury Shelley Resor''', A-''Monmouth'', ''The Key'', October 1929)
 
In September 1856, Monmouth, a three-year-old academy, opened as a coeducational college with the blessing of the Associate Reformed, later the United Presbyterian Church. Chapters of men’s fraternities Beta Theta Pi and Delta Tau Delta appeared in 1865, and Phi Gamma Delta in 1866. The I.C. Sorosis, founded for women in 1867, had not yet become Pi Beta Phi when Kappa Kappa Gamma was created. '''M. Louise Bennet (Boyd)''' and her future sister-in-law, '''H. Jeannette Boyd''', thought of organizing; considered first limiting membership to girls taking the classical course; but realized how much their choice of members would be narrowed; and “gave up that exclusive idea.”
 
== 1870 - 1880 ==
'''Fraternity Alumnae Achievement Award Recipients'''Wicke Oliver ChambersIn January 1870, 1982Kappa Alpha Theta had been founded in Greencastle, EmmyIndiana, at Asbury (later DePauw) University. Baird’s American College Fraternities, 1883, has it that “a proposition to establish a chapter of another fraternity suggested the idea of creating this new one.” But Louise Bennett insisted, “We had not heard of any other Greek-award-winning producer letter fraternity for children’s TV, children’s book authorgirls at that time and always considered ourselves the first. … If any girl came from Greencastle … to invite our girls to join Kappa Alpha Theta … I never heard of it.”
This ignorance is reasonable. Between the time “two college girls … held a schoolgirls’ conversation out of which grew the Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity” on that little wooden bridge made famous by a Monmouth College president, and the day when six girls walked into a chapel wearing their new keys, and announced themselves to a college population, which already knew about them, a matter of months have passed. If they had known of any competition they would have been eager to be on with the game—but no, they waited until their badges had been made up by the jeweler. Then they were ready.
The ''Monmouth College Courier'' waited too, and in October 1870, wrote, “The long expected ship hove into sight some days ago … When the crew came ashore … the dignified mien and grace … evinced the residence of authority … they wear a little gold key, sometimes on their foreheads, sometimes on their little blue or red jackets … we have been able to count only six of them .. they are on a voyage of discovery.”
The fact that both Thetas and Kappas announced themselves by marching proudly into chapel means only that chapel was the one sure place to catch the collective eye of the student body. It is recorded that “the Greek-letter boys cheered and stamped … (it was) quite a while before Dr. Wallace (the college president) got them quieted down.”
“We were so excited and proud,” said '''Additional Outstanding Delta Upsilon AlumnaeJennie Boyd''':of the day when the girls appeared wearing their keys. “Everything seemed different!” Even the people, the buildings, the classrooms seemed changed. We had started something all by ourselves!”Alpha struck the keynote and planned the theme … chose the badge and the name … it seems quite certain that no attempt was made toward anything ritualistic.” (Historian’s report, 1933)

“Do you think this is going to finfish us?” wrote a fiery Alice Pillsbury. “Do you think we are going to subside? Not by any means! It only puts us to the trouble of putting in our members before they enter college.” Alice Pillsbury was initiated in September 1871; served as Secretary 1874-75; she graduated in 1873. She signed the charters of Delta, Epsilon, Eta, Iota and Theta. She had to copy over the constitution for the new chapters, and she exchanged letters with their corresponding secretaries (“… our correspondence became … quite personal with exchange of photographs …”). Her letters were full of facts and liveliness and in some cases those letters are all that remain to give life to a lost chapter. Her “ … subside? Not by any means!” kept Alpha alive, albeit in rascally fashion, for a few extra years.
Until 1879 or 1880, when fraternities at Monmouth were ordered to disband entirely, pins were concealed, to be “flashed” for trusted friends.
== 1880 ---------------------------------1890 ==
==The Early Years In 1882, '''Minnie Stewart Nelson Field (From The History then Mrs. Nelson)''' was Alpha delegate to Convention and gave a talk. “It was the desire of the Fraternity and the intention of Mrs. Nelson to have prepared a complete history … but owing to the death of a sister Kappa Kappa Gamma 1870–1976who had in her possession the earlier chronicles, she was unable to procure the necessary information. (''The Golden Key'', Volume 1, Number 2)==
Delta Upsilon In 1884, a letter from the chapter asked release, and the request was granted. There seemed to be no charter to surrender, and Alpha died. A February 15, 1885, letter from Mrs. Nelson repeated the first chapter story of Kappa Kappa Gamma in Georgiathe secretary who took the record book to Kansas and died there. Its organization had This must have been delayed by a campus not ready for expansion '''Mittie Merridith Love''' who died in Kansas in the spring of 1882 … and by World War IIwith her the Alpha minutes.
The idea Kappa Historian '''May Whiting Westermann''', Sigma-''Nebraksa'', searching for signs of Alpha members as real people made a pilgrimage to colonize on the Athens campus was conceived at the 1946 General Convention. Monmouth, (The invitation from the university’s administration came that DecemberKey, April 1931) and official visitors arrived to inspect , while reading names in the campuscemetery was greeted by a student who said, “My grandmother, '''Margaret Pogue''', was a member of Alpha Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma here. A graduate counselor” Margaret Pogue Ford died November 29, 1915, Betty Lanier (Parrish)in Monmouth. Her daughter, Rollins'''Mary Jane''', was sent married to the chapter Arthur G.

Two more graduate counselors were added Their daughter, '''Margaret Smith''', who spoke to the team: Annie Laurie Ragsdale (Parker)Mrs. Westermann that day, Alabamabecame a member of Alpha Deuteron, and Lynn Latham her daughter, '''Mary Hutchinson''', (Chaneylater Mrs. Federick A.

The colony’s beautiful ante-bellum home, the first on campus to be professionally decorated, was opened September 22, 1947. “How rich we are in daughters!” (Three Kappa husbands had persuaded the owner to sell his old mansion on Prince AvenueJeanette Boyd).
Hundreds of rushes saw the Kappa house for the first time during a week of elaborate rush parties. Excerpts from ''The Hotel Fleur-de-lis party was a great success. A Kappa bellhopGolden Key'', giving out golden door keys as favorsVolume III, met rushes at the door. There was a tour of the houseNumber 3, and in the Blue Room Cocktail Lounge, singing waiters entertained. Milk Cocktails were served. The preferential, “Kappa Heaven,” closed with the girls in black cocktail dresses, holding lighted candles on the stairway, singing Kappa songs. This was the beginning of a continuing tradition.March 1886:
On an icy“The earliest records show that the chief business of our Alpha was to send its characteristic idea into every suitable place, sub-freezing Valentine’s Day and to make use of every advantageous method that it could originate or find. When faculty opposition to fraternities in 1948general crushed that chapter, Delta Upsilon Chapter was installed with 17 Epsilon had grown up in the practice of the original groups as charter members and nine first pledges.

There were growing pains but during the early years standards “Do you believe that KKG occupies all places that are suitable to her? Get a list of dress, graciousness, and scholarship were set. Chapter scholarship was especially noteworthy. University officials praised the young chapter. “In an age,” wrote colleges in the Dean’s Department director of women’s activities, (The Key, April, 1948), “when it is necessary to justify sorority United States … study them point by point and fraternity groups . . . I am delighted to see . . . good scholarship.” She even wrote a congratulatory letter after the formal party. “Your dance was lovely in all respects and has certainly set the pace, if there is not only for future some Kappa chapters but for other groups on the campus.” She went on material left, which is likely to praise the girls come our way and should be provided for introducing themselves and their dates to the chaperonesas a probable contingency.” (Page 10)
Evening dresses were elaborate, formal, and worn over collapsible hoops, carried “We are in tiny hat boxes en route. Raincoats had to be worn over shorts until reaching the gym or tennis courts. Kappas wore proper dress in the lower floor formal rooms at 1001 Prince Avenue, except on “closed night” (Monday), when no visitors were allowed, and robes could be worn.vanguard of a live idea—the new woman movement …

Delta Upsilon Alpha Chapter returned as Alpha Deuteron 64 years after Kappa Kappa Gamma was 1949 Province Convention hostess with all meetings in the housefounded at Monmouth College, and 50 years after Alpha officially ceased to exist. Chapter advisers won fleurIt was around 1880 that college authorities had prohibited Greek-de-lis earrings at letter fraternities, and the 1950 General Convention; and Delta Upsilon, honorable mention of 1884 had granted the sub rosa chapter’s request for improvement in financerelease from Fraternity obligations. The chapter newsletter, Keynotes, It was in 1922 that the 1952 Publication Award winnerMonmouth College Senate voted to permit national fraternities to return.

Recognition had been given to the Founders by the establishment of a Monmouth Memorial during the 1930 Convention. The Nowell Memorial Scholarship Fund interest from this $2,500 endowment fund was established to be used to purchase books of quality in 1957, in memory the field of Robert Lthe fine arts for the college library. Nowell, Jr., who The bookplate for the books was “through his life and from the founding of this chapter in 1948 until his death in 1956designed by '''Mary Albright (Giles), a true and loyal friend of Kappa Kappa Gamma''' ''Ohio State''.” The purpose bookplates were presented to the college by members of this fund is to aid Grand Council during a worthy student of visit in the University fall of Georgia in continuing her education and in further serving her university1932, during which they also inspected Kappa Alpha Sigma.

Throughout the years, and participating in its installation in their efforts to win back Alpha Chapter, the local group had the spring support of 1959 at Emory University in AtlantaMrs. Ricketts.Parties Before she and her niece, Margaret Tubbs Youngren, a member of Kappa Alpha Sigma, left for Convention in the late 1950s included Mexican suppers1934, spring alumnae luncheonsthey had gathered letters from many prominent Kappas, pledge dancesincluding '''Lou Henry Hoover''', fraternity exchange dinners''Stanford'', wife of the former president of the United States, and formal dances with Phi MuJosephine Edmonds Young, St. Lawrence.

Several members of Kappa Alpha Sigma had close ties with the administration. Kappa gained strength throughout GeorgiaFounders.
Alpha Chapter was re-established on October 13, 1934. The occasion was planned by the alumnae of Kappa Alpha Sigma, the Fraternity Council and the installing chapter, Epsilon. '''Joyce Snider (Heaton),''' ''Northwestern'', was co-organizer for the new chapter.
==Decades Owl candlesticks, designed and made at Monmouth Pottery for many years, were a feature of Change==the Installation. The molds were later destroyed in a fire at the pottery.
In 1960 the southern campuses began to experience radical changes with pressures All of integration, riots, threats to the fraternity system, actives and general unrest50 alumnae of Kappa Alpha Sigma were initiated as Kappas. Winter rush JanuaryA special pledging service was held on October 12 for freshman '''Frances Pattee (Putnam), 1961''' granddaughter of Founder '''Anna Willits Pattee''', and she was deferred because of integration problemsinitiated the following day with her grandmother’s gold key. Yet a happy atmosphere prevailed with a delightful new house director from AustraliaIn 1970, Mrs. Margaret Estes, who served tea on Saturdays and held Vespers (with refreshments) on Thursday nights. The girls loved “Aunt Peg’s” innovationsPutnam presented this badge to the Fraternity.
Delta Upsilon won honorable mention for Panhellenic achievement in 1962Among the many who sent messages or attended the reinstatement were '''Mabel and Georgie Pillsbury''', early Alphas. Their badges, and Dorothy McCampbell Nowellthat of their sister, TexasAlice Pillsbury Shelly (Reesor), was elected Fraternity director were later left to the chapter. The President of chaptersthe Monmouth Alumnae Association wears Georgie’s badge, and the other two are framed with the Founders’ pictures, which hang in the chapter room.
NowCharlotte Barrell Ware wrote from Boston, in “I am sending to you today the precious candlesticks … which I wish you to use at the Installation … tomorrow I shall send along the 1960s, it had become evident candles to be used from my wedding candles. I want Alpha to have all that a larger house was needed. The Georgia Power Company bought the Prince Avenue property; a previously purchased property on Lumpkin Street was sold back we can express of gratitude in her return to the university; and a desirably located lot was acquiredhead our Fraternity roll.”
Dreams came true when '''Mary Louise Bennett Boyd''', the chapter moved into the stately mansion built of Williamsburg-tone brick in Greek revival style at 440 South Milledge Avenue on September 13one living original Founder, 1963. There was an unfounded rumor that the big while columns were moved wrote from Prince AvenueFlorida, but one tangible part “ … A few of us who are left … are hoping … you will remember the old house did come to the new – a cement block with the letters ΚΚΓ was removed humble little acorn from which the rock mantel spreading oak has grown. … We shall be happy in the old card room and placed in the ground near the walk leading to the driveway of the new houseagain finding ourselves at home side by side with our ancient good comrade I.C. Valuable furniture and equipment included silver and mahogany, oriental lamps, a fine antique desk, and chairs from the Hearthstone… (now known as) Pi Beta Phi.”
The 1960-70 decade was one Alice Pillsbury Shelley (Reesor) wrote, “ … No question of finances or fear of change. There was fatigue could prevent me from coming, but a time recent recurrence of “unstructured rush” with few skits or set plans. In the early 1970s, the pendulum began to swing back an old nervous trouble would make it unsafe … it is with formal or “non-deferred” rush returningadded regret that as my birthday is October 14, and once more skits were used. Hundreds of girls signed up – it would be a new experience for the present day chaptergrand way to celebrate.”

In 1959, when Epsilon Province Convention was held in Monmouth, a silver baby cup was presented to the chapter by Alpha Chapter to Minnie Stewart Nelson Fields when her son was born, engraved with the Kappa insignia and the baby’s name. It was displayed in the chapter room in Marhall Hall.
The Kappa room in Marshall Hall, where all sororities are located at Monmouth, was done in 1870 period style, Victorian red draperies, crystal chandeliers, and a Victorian sofa upholstered in blue damask. Many of the accessories were given by friends and members of the Alpha Chapter. Josephine Watt Graham, Monmouth, was the decorator. The outstanding feature in the room is the gold-framed picture of the Founders, tinted on ivory, with their names and the original Pillsbury keys. These pictures were reproduced in color on the cover of the 1970 Centennial issue of '''Chapter Honors'The Key''.
Delta Upsilon continued to be one of the strongest and largest groups on campus. The chapter was second runner-up for During the Gracious Living Award at the 1962 Conventionyears preceding Kappa’s Centennial celebration, reaffirming the high ideals Alpha Deuteron had pledged a sum of money to the Fraternity at a time when the fraternity system was being questionedin honor of and in memory of Myra Tubbs Ricketts.

Awards In April 1970, Fraternity President '''Louise Little Barbeck''' presented, in 1968 were the Edith Crabtree Panhellenic Award name of Kappa Kappa Gamma, an oil painting, “A Winding Road and first runner-up for the coveted Efficiency Cup.

Dawn Reynolds Staples, a past chapter president, died in 1970, and a silver punch bowl set was presented in her memory by her family and friendsthe Fraternity Centennial Celebration.
Debera Sharpe Mabel Martin McCoy was a graduate counselor and Barbara Hagey (Watson) a field secretary honored by her chapter in 1971, when its senior class dedicated an award to her, in the middle recognition of her service and late 1960sdevotion. Dr. Fred Davison was appointed of the university The McCoy Cup is presented annually to an outstanding senior in May, 1967.

Beauty, brains, and ability still prevail. Members '''Fall 1970 issue of The Key reads''': "Reproductions of Delta Upsilon won the Miss Athens and Miss Georgia crowns twice, and one made the top ten in the Miss America contest Founders of Kappa Kappa Gamma were taken from 1963-73small oil portraits hand painted on ivory.

The framed portraits were a gift from the chapter’s first quarter centuryMonmouth alumnae to Alpha Chapter."
The purposes and ideals of Kappa still operate in a “now” generation. Truth, goodness, and beauty have not become old fashioned. Kappa‘s spirit lived beyond its first 100 years and Delta Upsilon’s first 25.

==Highlights of the 1980s==
The 1987 pledge class created a cross-stitch pattern with Kappa symbols in all four corners. It was presented to the actives at the end of inspiration week. Traveling Consultant Lila Isbell visited the chapter. In 1987, there were 625 students on campus; 151 women in sororities and Alpha Deuteron had 49 actives, 1 pledge. The faculty and administration of Monmouth College as a whole were very supportive of Greek organizations. Chapter goal was “striving for excellence through individual responsibility and shared experiences.” The chapter worked hard to meet this goal.
==Highlights In 1989 a new rush party was developed, Sail Away with Kappa. One of the 1970s:==parties was a hayrack ride at one or the member’s uncle’s farm. The pledges made wooden Greek figures which were placed on the Stewart House lawn. Each pledge signed her name on the back. The figures were presented to the active chapter at the end of inspiration week. Traveling Consultant Sheri Gosliner visited the chapter. This year there were 635 students on campus, 145 women in sororities and 54 active Kappas plus one associate member. The faculty and staff continued to support the Greek system and were proud of their accomplishments.

During the latter part of the 1970s the chapter had many socials and events with many different fraternities and sororities. Upon receiving invitations to socials, the chapter voted to determine which events would be attended. In addition to social events with fraternities and sororities, attending football games, going on dates, and playing bridge were some of the women’s favorite hobbies. The chapter women were well respected on campus and within the Greek system.

Among Fraternity officers present were Kay Smith Larson, Washington, Fraternity Historian and former Fraternity President. Kay recalled how the Monmouth College policy of admitting women on an equal footing with men since its earliest days helped lay the groundwork for the founding of the first national secret collegiate society for women, Pi Beta Phi, at Monmouth in 1867, followed by Kappa just three years later.
==Highlights Monmouth College Trustees and Alpha Chapter alumnae Gail Simpson Owen and Barbara Watt Johnson attended the dedication and Gail reflected on the meaning of 2011-2019:== the bridge. She said, “The metaphor of a bridge is fitting as we build bridges to take us from one place to another; from the known to the unknown, an arduous journey made easier with a bridge, a connection. For me, the Kappa Bridge spanned the distance from my family 5,000 miles away to my new sisters and friends. I recognize that it is our turn to build the next bridge for those who come after us.”

Our chapter co-hosted the Color Run with Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and together we raised over $5000, which was donated to Books for Keeps. We have continued to volunteer for and donate food to the Panhellenic Pantry, an organization that provides food to students and faculty members in need. Our chapter raised money for many organizations on campus including UGA Miracle, UGA Heroes and UGA Relay for Life. We also participated in numerous philanthropic events hosted by other Greek organizations, such as Miss Sorority Row, Sound of Milledge, and Sigma Chi’s Derby Days. One of our most exciting achievements for 2014 was winning second place in Sigma Delta Tau’s annual Greek Grind dance competition benefitting Prevent Child Abuse America. Not only was our chapter awarded money towards our philanthropy, but our Greek Grind participants were also invited to perform their routine during half time of the UGA Basketball Team’s first home game. Another exciting achievement was when member, Hilary Hilgers, was voted a Homecoming Court nominee. During spirit week, our chapter’s team participated in many Homecoming activities, and we won first place in the Street Painting Mural competition. 2013==
One challenge In the previous calendar year, in the spring semester we have faced is gained 6 new members through informal recruitment. We hosted our overall chapter's GPA, first annual Spaghetti Dinner at the local church in Monmouth for our first semester philanthropy event. We raised $550 which is relatively low compared we donated to other sororitiesthe Children’s Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation. In an effort to correct this, We also participated in our VP Journal Buddies program where we wrote letters back and forth with local elementary schools students and visited them at the end of Academics has given awards first semester. We hosted “Love and Loyal-tea” which was held at our weekly chapter meetings to members who have earned A's in their courses, the Stewart House. Members of the Knox Chapter attended as well as women who have made the Dean's Lista guest speaker that spoke about professionalism. To address leadership and Our chapter management, each month the Recording Secretary submitted also had a report to nationals that outlined each chapter council member's accomplishments of the previous month ritual review history program and goals for the upcoming month. Lastly, our Marshal held several intensive ritual reviews recruitment workshops to help keep our chapter continue members up to learn and appreciate Kappa ritualdate.
In SeptemberAs far as our grades, Panhellenic decided to instate an Extension Exploratory Committeewe maintained the highest GPA of all Greek Life at Monmouth College. The committee was created We set goals to discuss improve our adviser and officer relations as well as increase the possibility of bringing additional sororities to strength in the University leadership roles of Georgia for future recruitmentsour officers. Our chapter supported To reach that our officers watched their webinars and encouraged this committeeworked together to help each other as a tighter unit. In the fall semester, believing that additional sororities will give the growing number of women coming we gained 14 new members through formal recruitment as well as two more opportunities to become a part of Greek life at our university. The Delta Upsilon chapter is made up of 239 women from a variety of backgrounds. The majority of the chapter is out-of-stateCOBs. We have women from Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, Louisiana, Florida, Virginia, California continued our Journal Buddy program and many more statesfor our philanthropy event we hosted a “Kappa Karnival” on our campus. We It was not as successful as we had 19 legacies pledge Kappa in 2014. We have a number of women in UGA's honors program, hoped but it was a number of women receiving scholarships, and even some members with presidential scholarshipslearning experience. We have several members involved in UGA sportsraised $300, including Lacrosse and the Majoretteswhich was donated to put together care packages to send to U. Our chapter also participates in intramural soccer, volleyball and basketballS. Lastly, we have a very active social calendar with high attendance at all of our eventstroops. Below is a list of our 2014 social events:
JANUARY 2014:To reach our ongoing goal from the previous semester about our officers, he held three separate officer-training workshops. Two of the workshops were with all of the officers and advisers. The other workshop was a meeting between the incoming and outgoing officers. We also set a goal to improve on turning documents in on time. Although we improved a bit on this, we still have progress to make in getting everything in on time. As far as helping with world/local events we did this on three separate occasions. Two of these were due to unfortunate natural disasters. One of the members of our school’s staff was victim to a house fire. 17: Social with Sigma ChiWe donated our slightly used/new clothes and shoes as well as toiletries to her and her family. Also, when there was the tornado disaster in Washington, Il, we sent cards and donated money to Red Cross to help in relief. For world events, we put together Christmas packages which one of our members sent out to her brother and his fellow troop members in the Army. Overall, we could have been more active in philanthropy and special events, but besides that we had a pretty successful semester and we definitely improved on our goal to strengthen officer positions, although there will always be room for improvement.
FEBRUARY 2014:1: Formal6: Social with KA13: Social with Chi Phi20: Semi-formal with Chi O22: Kappa Color RunThere was a new “Fraternity” added to campus in the Fall of 2013. This added an additional amount of Greeks to campus and another Greek organization. Now the total number of Greek organizations is at 9. The new building called the Center for Science and Business was completed and classes began holding in there. The overall nature of our chapter, technically, is stronger than in the past. In 2013, we began holding members more accountable for their actions through the Standards Committee. One thing we hope to improve on is turning documents in on time; this includes EPFs, Driver’s Forms, Round Robins and individual officer reports. Also, the chapter wants to improve on sisterhood and morale by holding more sisterhoods and unity bonding sessions.

JUNE 2014:25In the spring our chapter received six new members. We held the annual spaghetti dinner in February. Members from our organization made and served food for the community and raised over one thousand dollars for the Jameison center in Monmouth, IL. We also donated books to the Jameison center children in early November. As a chapter we hosted "Love and Loyal-29: Conventiontea" at the Stewart house with the Knox Kappa chapter. In May, around graduation we held a senior alumni ceremony. At this ceremony we acknowledged and gave thanks to all of our seniors members. In August we gained twenty-six new members through formal recruitment. In October we held initiation for our twenty-six new members. Our chapter also participated in a Journal Buddies program local United Way elementary school. This activity involved girls writing back and forth on a weekly basis with the students of the elementary school. At the end of the ten week program a day was arranged to meet with their journal buddies and personally get to know one another. This is where the girls get to meet their buddies, play games, read books, and craft with them. We also ran a pancake breakfast partnering with local AppleBees in late November. We sold the maximum number of tickets and made close to one thousand dollars for an organization called Stella's Voice (Monmouth College Human Trafficking organization). Along with our two main philanthropy events, many members logged community service hours on their own. We had four members participate in a week long service project called Alternative Spring Break. They partnered with Habitat for Humanity and each logged 50 hours of consistent hard labor for the week. We also celebrated Founders Day where we visited and sang at the burial sites of Minnie Stewart, Anna Willits, and Susan Walker. During our homecoming week we won awards for our banner and spirit shout chant. At Province we won an honorable mention award, and at our annual Greek Week Banquet our Advisor Polly Timmerman won Chapter Advisor of the year. Many of our members were also acknowledged for making it onto the Dean's list and for being in multiple Greek honor programs such as; Alpha Lambda Delta, Blue Key, and Order of Omega. In relation to academics, we were first overall in GPA of our spring semester, and in the fall we were third place overall. Our goal is to improve our GPA and get first overall next semester. We will do this by holding each other accountable for our studying and tracking hours on a Google Docs system. Along with this we will have new study files to help our members succeed academically, and we have installed a group document to log all of our weekly study hours. To improve communication, which has been another weakness in our chapter, we have held two leadership trainings for incoming officers, as well as triplet meetings that involve advisors. This way we can insure the new officers are prepared for their position and have the knowledge they need to excel. We are also planning multiple programs about how to strengthen communication and how different personalities communicate in different ways. In relation to local crises, a member of Kappa was victim to a house fire. We donated any clothes or household items we could to that member and her family. Overall our chapter had a successful year and the goals we have set for our chapter will only help us improve further.
AUGUST 2014:3: In-We are a heavily involved, studious, and welcoming chapter. Majority of our members are involved in multiple organizations, clubs, and sports teams. Many students on campus know Kappas for their involvement and campus participation. Our campus was given a new College President. He has personally reached out to campus organizations and always asks/participates in some of our activities. He was also involved in our Homecoming activities. This past year we have redecorated the interior of our house girls move with freshly painted walls and new living room furniture. This redecoration also includes a new study room available to all members, providing them with a quiet place to study.

Chapter28: Social council is also requiring a communication/leadership seminar unlike previous years. Our chapter overall is becoming more responsible, such as with Sigma Nupaying for dues on time and turning in documents on time. Another sorority on campus, Pi Beta Phi was approved for new housing, and will begin construction Spring 2015. Next year we will have the smallest and oldest house out of all sororities at Monmouth College.

In February we held our annual spaghetti dinner, raising $1: Formal Chapter/Formal Transitions 4: Semi,800 for the Jamieson Center, which is a local community center in town. We also donated books to the Jamieson Center children in early December. In October our chapter made over 120 trick-formalor-treat bags for the Jamieson Center as well. Alpha chapter participated in Relay for Life and raised over $2,000 for the cause making us the largest donation by any team, our contribution made up the majority of the funds for the event. Our chapter also organized a Reading is Key event at our local library. Our Reading is Key event was Curious George themed, each child received a book, and local firemen came and read to the children to get the community involved in our efforts to promote literacy. Alpha chapter also participated in a stuffed animal drive, and collected over 75 stuffed animals to donate for the event.
Delta Upsilon holds its chapter meetings In May, around graduation we held a senior alumni ceremony. At this ceremony we acknowledged and gave thanks to all of our seniors members. We also held a senior brunch in May where our chapterexpressed appreciation for our seniors through speeches and gifts. We also held an alumna orientation for our seniors as the year came to an end. In August we gained twenty-owned facilitytwo new members through formal recruitment. In October we held initiation for our twenty-two new members. Delta Upsilon's facility In September we held our annual Pancake Breakfast event, raising $1,016 for Reading is Fundamental and $100 of the funds was donated to the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation. Our chapter also participated in a Journal Buddies program with the local United Way elementary school. This activity involved girls writing back and forth on a weekly basis with the only house built at students of the elementary school. At the University end of Georgia that the ten week program a day was actually intended arranged to meet with their journal buddies and personally get to be know one another. This is where the girls get to meet their buddies, play games, read books, and craft with them. Alpha chapter participated in a sorority houseprogram called Adopt-A-Classroom. FurthermoreThrough this program, it is Alpha chapter financially adopted a tradition that all Delta Upsilon members have the opportunity and are highly encouragedclassroom through Charleston Hope, to live which will supply inner-city kids in the sorority house during schools with Christmas gifts. Along with our major philanthropy events, many members logged community service hours on their sophomore year. There are currently 60 sisters that occupy the houseown.
In October our chapter celebrated Founder’s Day, where we visited and sang at the burial sites of Minnie Stewart, Anna Willits, and Susan Walker. We also hosted a Founder’s Day Banquet, in which the Eta Kappa chapter of Knox College and many Kappa alumni attended. Events such as our Founder’s Day Banquet have helped our chapter maintain close relationships with our alum and local chapters, which has always been a goal we strive to achieve. During our homecoming week, we won first overall out of all the organizations on campus. Through an awards banquet on our campus Kappa was acknowledged for many awards such as: third place in academic programming, honorable mention in campus involvement, honorable mention in community service/civic engagement, first place emerging female leader, first place advisor of the year, first place outstanding chapter program- for our pancake breakfast. Many of our members were also acknowledged for making it onto the Dean's list and for being in multiple Greek honor programs such as; Alpha Lambda Delta, Blue Key, and Order of Omega.
==Highlights In relation to academics, our chapter has been ranked third in overall sorority GPA. Our academics have been a challenging area for our chapter because we strive to place first overall in GPA and help all of 2015==our members succeed academically. Our chapter has implemented study files to help our members improve. Through the application of the new GIN system our members will also be held accountable for their academics through logging study hours. Not only are members expected to be accountable through academics, we also have made efforts to improve overall accountability. A way we have dedicated time to improving accountability is through “accountability buddies”, where each member has a partner that they encourage to attend events and keep each other responsible. Another effort our chapter has made to increase accountability has been through committee meetings. By getting all members more involved in Kappa events and fundamentals, this will increase all members’ involvement and commitment to the chapter. To improve communication, which has been another weakness in our chapter, we have held two leadership trainings for incoming officers, as well as triplet meetings that involve advisors. Each officer has their own advisor, which has helped with communication because each officer knows who they should be in contact with for questions or concerns specifically. Overall our chapter had a successful year and the goals we have set for our chapter will only help us improve further.
The Chapter Alpha chapter excels in the area of Delta Upsilon has had another great year in 2015campus and community involvement. Not only have we donated to Reading is Fundamental and the Kappa Kappa Gamma foundation, continuing but we focus heavily on donating to strengthen itself as the community and representing Kappa in a chapter philanthropic way around our community and to improve the UGA campus at large. In February 2015The majority of our members are involved in other organizations and athletic teams, Delta Upsilon welcomed as well as honors societies. This past year we have redecorated the interior of our house with freshly painted walls and new living room furniture. This redecoration also includes a new advisor study room available to all members, providing them with a quiet place to study. We have provided all members with an equal opportunity to hold in their possession a key to our chapter, Sharon Moore Jenkinshouse. As This would allow them twenty-four access to a previous member of Delta Upsilon, quiet and secluded study room. In our study room we were very excited and privileged to also have her as a new advisor, printer that is free to serve along with every member's use. Chapter council is also requiring a communication/leadership seminar unlike previous years. Another change our chapter has seen is the rest recommendation of our advisors. On February 6-8service hours, 2015, three officers attended which has not been implemented in the Kappa Regional meeting in Atlanta, Georgiapast. Our chapter now encourages 5 service hours per semester. President, Caroline Groover, Recording Secretary, Jordan DickOur chapter overall is becoming more responsible, such as with paying for dues on time and Philanthropy Chairmanturning in documents on time.

There were goodie bags to make and families could go and watch the football game together. Formal was themed “Under the Sea” and was a fun time for everyone. This year we did not have a traditional semi-formal. We instead had a “Fall Event” named "Falling in Love With Kappa", at one of the active’s farmhouse. There were s’mores, hayrides, crafts and games to play. This year for philanthropy we did our traditional spaghetti dinner and raised almost $1000 for Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation, as well as Reading is Fundamental.

We decided to donate the extra food to the Jamieson Center here in Monmouth. This October we teamed up with the Kappa chapter located at Knox College and had a Kappa Kolor Run. This event raised $500 dollars and the proceeds were donated to the Rose McGill Aid Fund.

Two important ones were Self-FormalDefense and CPR recertification. We still are striving for better relationship between the Standards Committee and the general members. Another goal for our chapter is to increase the number girls that pay their dues on time. This past semester we have had two lovely Leadership Consultants come and help us find ways to improve our chapter. This year’s Bystander Intervention was a new speaker and taught the chapter and campus new ways to help improve the safety of campus.

'''Housing'''2020 was a unique year that created challenges to normal chapter functions. However, the members of Kappa Kappa Gamma Alpha chapter adapted through innovative sisterhoods, a virtual recruitment, and a virtual initiation shared with Iota and Theta Alpha chapters.
The first chapter of the year was held on January 19th. A Tik-Tok sisterhood was held on January 29th, where sisters made fun videos together at the Kappa house. On Super-bowl Sunday, house girls invited sisters over and made lots of different tailgating foods to celebrate. On February 7th, there was a sisterhood with the Eta chapter at the Stewart house where members made DIY scrunchies. A Galentine’s Day Sisterhood was held on Thursday, February 13th. Sisters made cute Valentine’s Day cards, decorated and painted picture frames, ate snacks, and took cute and goofy pictures in a photo area. Composites were taken on Wednesday, February 19th. The New Member Retreat was February 21st.The chapter had an exchange with Phi Delta on February 23rd, where members sang Karaoke. Inspiration week started Sunday, February 23rd and initiation was held on the 29th where one new member was initiated. Members left for Spring Break on March 6th and were not allowed to return due to Covid-19. A mother/daughter tea party event was scheduled for March 21st and was canceled. A Reading is Key philanthropy event “Grilled Cheese with KKGs” on Sunday, March 22nd was also canceled. Alpha chapter had been paired with ZBT for Greek Week activities but was unable to participate due to Covid. Formal theme was the Roaring 20s and was scheduled for April 18th but was canceled due to Covid. Keynoted chapter minuets were sent to members during the lockdown the first Sundays of April and May to keep members engaged and aware of chapter activities. There were three optional Zoom meetings for members to attend if they needed to reach out. There was a virtual sisterhood, where members played an online card game. Due to the fast change of plans Covid created, many things had to be altered in order to make seniors feel as though they were not forgotten. Our VP of Member Development tried to do as much as possibly for them given that we were unable to hold the Senior Banquet or most of the Senior Week Activities. To make up for what they lost, people in the chapter wrote notes or letters to a senior or seniors of their choice and then those were emailed to them during Senior Week. Our chapter was able to order them all bouquets of flowers and had them sent to their home address for them to receive during Senior Week. The seniors all received their gifts from the chapter at their homes. Our chapter still did a Senior Slideshow, and we were able to watch it together on a Zoom call. There was a Zoom study session hosted for finals.
Some sisters returned to campus on August 13th, while some sisters remained virtual for the semester. Work week occurred virtually and included a DEI presentation by the college’s Intercultural Life Director. The theme for recruitment was Falling in Love with Kappa. Recruitment was moved online the night before it began. However, our incredible exec board was able to make the arrangements necessary to move to virtual recruitment, marking our chapter’s first ever online recruitment process. We met a lot of great PNMs and ended up with 11 perfect new members who are great additions to the chapter! We look forward to seeing where their Kappa journey takes them. Bid day was on August 22nd and pledging occurred on August 23rd, on the tennis court outside. The chapter has conducted most business virtually and any in-person activities were socially distanced and in compliance with state and federal guidelines. The chapter has worked extremely hard this year to improve our diversity, equity, and inclusion. This semester, we decided to push the idea of DEI more into our chapter in hopes to expand our knowledge on the topics and learn from each other. We held a few programs that involved the topic of DEI and we also started a new chapter segment called "All the Hoot." We placed this segment in the VP of Member Development section of our chapter. This segment was started to allow sisters to talk about popular issues in the news, issues that are important to them, hard to talk about issues, etc. We wanted to provide a safe place for discussion of these important topics so we could evolve as a chapter. Our goal was to be respectful of everyone's opinions, be willing to learn, be open and honest, and to make our bond stronger. This segment has been very interesting and beneficial to our chapter thus far and we hope to continue it. We know that we still have a lot of work to do as individuals and as a chapter to continue to learn and grow in the field of DEI. We have elected a DEI Director to our exec board to continue to promote our chapter’s growth. In an effort to promote mental health awareness and inclusivity, our chapter hosted Behind Happy Faces on November 21st.
'''Philanthropy'''The slate was released November 12th, and elections were held on November 15th. Officer installations were November 22nd.2013:1st Campus overall has a very politically polarized and charged atmosphere. Between COVID-19 restrictions, rising cases, the recent presidential election, and overall division amongst Americans have left Monmouth a very polarized place in UGA Hero's Unity Step Show . Our chapter is not excluded from this division, and we have recently faced division amongst members and issues with Alpha Phi Alphabeing called out for being racist by non-members on campus. These issues have left us a very divided chapter. "
We chose Western Illinois Animal Rescue as our philanthropy, because it requires a lot of volunteer work and donations to keep it going. We really like helping out at WIAR because we enjoying working with the staff and supporting all the animals there.
'''Convention Awards'''2013:Risk Management, Gracious LivingWe did not have a specific Founders Day ceremony or 150th Anniversary celebration due to COVID restrictions. "
