Changes

Our chapter has achieved many successes over the past year. In the spring semester, we were recognized as the chapter with the most women to achieve a 4.0 GPA and placed second in grades overall with a 3.476. Continuing our steadfast reputation of excellence, we also won Homecoming Week in the fall with our partners of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Pi Kappa Phi. Our chapter took 1st in Paint the Ville and 3rd in Pant the Chant as well. We created a float for the parade, embracing our theme of Honolulu, as the overall theme was Purple Pride Worldwide, with different cities for each pairing. The win was a surprise to our chapter, but incredibly exciting to be a part of.

Date parties were held each semester with the spring semester starting out with a jungle date party and later, our annual formal, Sapphire Ball, was held at the Discovery Center in Manhattan in April. In the fall, we had one in September with a theme of "When I Grow Up" and later our semi-formal in December at a barn outside of Manhattan with a theme of "Barnyard Ball."

Our chapter had many fun sisterhood events throughout the year, including a Valentine's event, a Halloween party, and a Friendsgiving. Members also enjoy spending time with one another by hanging around the house, lounging in the informal, and taking Sonic runs. Our house mom, Jules, and our cook, Liz, continue to be steadfast presences in the chapter and serve as support systems for all the girls in the house.

Kansas State University has continued to grow and expand over the past year. Renovations continued to take place all over campus, with the Union being completed in the spring of 2017 and Seaton Hall in the fall of the same year. Our chapter continues to be held in high regard on campus, albeit affectionately nicknamed the "Kappa Kappa Grandmas," which many of our members whole-heartedly embrace. Our house mom, Mom Jules, and our cook, Liz, continue to serve the chapter and provide advice, motherly wisdom, and the occasional haircut. As a whole, our chapter has continued to take pride in our strong heritage and flourish as the years go by.

The money we raised from our philanthropies went back to organizaitons, that we, as Kappa, support. The books raised from Mom's Day supported Reading is Fundamental and we held an event at a local elementary school where we read books and had snacks with local elementary school students. Donating back to the Rose McGill holiday is meaningful to us, as we believe in supporting our fellow Kappa sisters.
