==Highlights of 2020s2018s: The largest change on the Whitman campus this year was two new buildings. A new resident hall, Staton Hall, and a new dining hall, Cleveland Commons. This represents a shift in the school's goal to develop a closer community throughout campus. This year in our Mx.Whitman fundraiser, we chose to support '''The Star Project, a local non-profit organization that helps people with felony convictions reenter society who are living in Walla Walla County. This organization has a housing coordinator, an employment specialist, and a case manager who strive to successfully reintegrate into the community as productive and contributing members. Through fundraising efforts from July-November Kappas and contestants raised $35,000 for The Star Project. We chose this event as Walla Walla County has the Washington State Penitentiary and the Walla Walla County Jail, "The Star Project" has a consistent amount of clients coming in for assistance. As non-profit organization, they are always needing donations and grants, in order to continue paying their employees and supporting their clients. In addition to this fundraiser, we held our annual Dr. Seuss Day at the Walla Walla public library, which sent every child home with a book. This year we had about 300 kids come to the event. We also held four other "Kappa Saturdays" at the local library where we volunteered with kids and helped clean and organize the library.== We meet weekly in our chapter room, located in Prentiss Hall on campus. It is the hall where all Greek women live during their sophomore year on campus.
