We support Reading is Fundamental. We are passionate about ensuring that young children have the resources available to learn how to read. Giving children ready access to books is essential to their growth and development, and also necessary to inspire a love of learning.
''''''Highlights of 2019'''
UVA has remained the same throughout the past year. Our chapter is in a period of change because our house is about to be renovated. During this period, our third year girls will be living at a different location on Madison Rd. instead of Rugby Rd. The girls of Epsilon Sigma are very optimistic about this change because they are so excited about the new house.
Twelve Kappa members received a 4.0 GPA. One member presented her independent research on skeletal patterning and morphogenesis at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Society for Developmental Biology Conference. Many members studied at the London School of Economics in the summer. Three members went to the Kappa Leadership Convention. A Kappa sister helped the UVA Club Field Hockey team win the National Championship. Two members became spin instructors, and a few others ran a marathon.
Philanthropy: Reading is Fundamental
As fortunate students, our chapter feels that we should give books back to the community because they are tools that allowed us to get to where we are at the University of Virginia. Our book drive and fundraisers "Breakfast for Books" and "Kappasta" are events that we are allowed to host because of our upbringing centered on education. We are so lucky to be learning at UVA and hope that our contributions to RIF can aid the larger effort to promote education among underprivileged children.'''
Kappa members volunteered for organizations such as Pancakes for Parkinsons, the BIG Event at UVA, Greens to Grounds,Alternative SpringBreak at UVA, worked at a local church soup kitchen, and gave TED talks this year.
Founders Day: On November 20 for Founders Day, our chapter invited past and present sisters to the Kappa House at UVA for brunch. In the middle of the brunch, we invited everyone upstairs where we held a short ceremony. The celebration lasted around three hours.
Sesquicentennial Celebration: We plan to conduct a similar ceremony to Founders Day, where we host local alumnae for a brunch to celebrate the anniversary.
