Recently, we welcomed a new chapter to campus and have had representatives from the new chapter visit with us and discuss their plans for fortifying the Panhellenic community. We have welcomed our largest pledge class yet from the largest freshman class that UK has seen. Overall, the chapter is excited to welcome our new members and has enjoyed all of our events this year and the chance to become closer as a sisterhood. This year, we focused on making our sisterhood grow stronger through sisterhood events and exemplifying the values of our chapter across campus. | Recently, we welcomed a new chapter to campus and have had representatives from the new chapter visit with us and discuss their plans for fortifying the Panhellenic community.

This year, Beta Chi has held many philanthropy events to raise money to support Reading is Fundamental and the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation. In the spring, we held our Kappa Bowl event where participants from other chapters on campus play tournament style soccer within large plastic blow up suits. We also held a Reading is Key event at Millcreek Elementary with a Dr. Seuss theme where we were able to donate 650 books. We held the Amazing Race in the fall where chapters signed up as teams and competing in a scavenger hunt across campus with tasks to complete at each stop before they can move onto the next station. We raised $1000 from the Amazing Race and $1335 from Kappa Bowl that we were able to use to support our philanthropies. In the fall, we held our second Reading is Key event with a Disney theme and were able to donate around 900 books to the elementary school. This year, we were also able to raise $750 to donate to a scholarship fund for a Beta Chi alum who recently passed away from cancer. This was a wonderful way for us to show support for an alum who meant so much to this chapter and her family shared with us how important our chapter was to her. This year, our goal was to work on fortifying our sisterhood through various events geared towards strengthening our bond. We had different events throughout the year such as roller skating, laser tag, and a visit to a local apple orchard. This year, as a chapter we were still adjusting to being back in our new house after being renovated and it was exciting year to expand our sisterhood and get settled in to our new house. Kappa also participated in other chapter's philanthropy events such as Greek Sing, an event hosted by Chi Omega and Beta Theta Pi, where teams perform and themed dance. Beta Chi also had a team participate in DanceBlue, an on campus organization that raises almost 2 million dollars a year in support of pediatric cancer research and clinic funding. | This year, Beta Chi has held many philanthropy events to raise money to support Reading is Fundamental and the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation.

This has been a crazy year but we have made the most out of it all! When we got sent home because of COVID-19 in the spring, Beta Chi still managed to have many virtual sisterhood events like Zoom work out classes and Netflix watch parties. We were finally able to come back to 238 E. Maxwell on August 8th. We hosted virtual spirit week with different types of recruitment workshops. Beta Chi also hosted virtual recruitment which was a huge success. We were able to welcome home 78 new members. Bid day was Kappa Girls tour themed, and everyone had a great time dressing up and welcoming our new member class home! We hosted it in shifts so everyone could join! We have had numerous sisterhood events this semester including pumpkin painting on the porch, coffee tabs at local coffee houses, tailgates in Kappa’s parking lot, and Bachelorette night in the student center movie theater. Big little was held in person and virtually, and it was a huge success! All 78 new members got initiated on October 24th virtually through Zoom! We have had a fun filled year at Beta Chi and we cannot wait for the next adventures. | This has been a crazy year but we have made the most out of it all!
