==Highlights of 2023==
Spring term of 2023, our chapter was awarded the sorority cup for the highest chapter GPA. We had our spring formal and sapphire ball, which was a success. We continued our tradition of “blue and blue,” which we award to one or more members during the chapter who have done something to deserve a shoutout. For example, “blue and blue” was awarded to our VP of External Hilirie for planning our upcoming “Mr. Kappa” event, which will become a special event that we will do each year.
We are also starting a tradition of “Why Kappa Wednesday” on our Instagram page, where each Wednesday we highlight a different member and explain why they went Kappa and stayed Kappa. Our goals for this next year are to host more open events on campus to increase our campus presence and get more new members. For example, we opened our study tables and have already seen an increase in interest in our chapter. We are also going to collaborate with more campus organizations, and we are already planning an event for next term with the club “All is One,” which is a club focused on empowering women of color. In terms of sisterhood events, we are starting a tradition of a resume workshop each term, where a member of the Career Center comes to our room and gives a workshop. Another one of our goals is to improve our social media presence, which our social media chair, Minnie, is working on.
Our chapter’s mental health and well-being partner is the JED Foundation! We support them through our various philanthropic events that we hold every term. In addition, we have established a strong relationship with our IX Coordinator, Sarah, and have been working together to support and create a positive environment with the mental health resources and events on campus. Our chapter also works with Harbor House by raising money through philanthropic events, going to Harbor House’s events in our letters, such as “Take Back the Night”, and engaging in our own individual volunteering, such as childcare, working the desk, and more. This year, we had four people attend the Kappa Convention, which allowed them to make connections with chapters across the US. We are also making efforts to create and strengthen connections with our alumni. Our chapter recently found out that our Dean of Spiritual and Religious Life/University Chaplain, Terra R. Winston-Sage, graduated from Lawrence as a Kappa, so we have reached out to invite her to come to our events!
