Shelley Smith Mydans, author, a Life magazine staff writer who with her husband Carl Mydans, a Life magazine photographer, spent their married life working side-by-side. They were captured by incoming Japanese troops in Manila in January of 1942. They were held as Prisoners of War for almost two years. After a respite in New York, they both returned to the combat zone, this time in Europe as World War II wound to a close.
Lola Nashashi, Graduate Counselor 1977-1978
Beta Eta was the first Kappa chapter to build its own house and the first to own a house.
The beloved house was described in the July, 1900 issue of The Key as having “sloping moss green roofs, pointed gables, dormer windows. The wrought iron lattice over the door bears the letters KKΓ and the art glass windows with the fleur-de-lis embedded in the cardinal, form an artistic entrance… the third floor, the abode of the freshmen, and familiarly known as ‘the attic’ is one large room… the most delightful place for initiation and informal spreads, while from its many windows one gains the best view of the surrounding hills covered with oak trees and, in the spring, ablaze with the glorious California poppies… From its setting of green foothills, (the house) looks across the level fields, over the treetops of the Arboretum to the narrow line of bay and the hazy blue mountains beyond.”
 
==Highlights of the Early 1900s==
The earthquake of April 18, 1906, brought normal college life to a halt. There was great damage on the Stanford campus. When the chapter returned to school in September, member found that the house had remained untouched during the summer, rather than repaired, since labor and materials were so scarce. A luncheon for freshmen had been scheduled for registration day. Because their dishes were broken and the plaster down, the resourceful Kappas partied on the porch.
Early in September, 1918, the house was badly damaged by fire; and again during summer quarter of 1927 there was a fire and chapter members returned to find the roof gone. By January, 1928, aware of the difficulties of separation, the chapter was able to get back together. The alumnae corporation and the Fraternity had made it possible to repair the damages, and the Mother’s Club had raised a considerable fund to help refurnish the house. In 1934 the house association constructed a much-needed wing to provide additional bedrooms, a chapter room, and a lounge.
==Highlights of the 1930s and 1940s==
Field Secretary Helen Snyder (Andres), BΠ—Washington, wrote in the February, 1933, issue of The Key, after her first visit to Stanford, “… my fondest expectations realized in its fine students, beautiful buildings with arcades, quadrangles, magnificent memorial chapel, palm trees, and landscaped grounds… long a fine chapter… scholastic and activity honors are many… a congenial chapter.” Her first official act as grand president in June, 1935, was to call for ratification of the appointment of Beta Eta’s Emily Caskey Johnson as director of standards.
==Highlights of 20112012== '''Highlights include:''' -- A very successful Pi Province hosted by our chapter!-- A very successful Recruitment period in which passionate, wonderful, "true blue" girls joined our chapter-- A chapter GPA of 3.63 and eight members with GPA's of 4.0-- We have two women on the Women’s Tennis team, who went on to win the National Championship. Our own Nicole Gibbs also went on to win Singles and is now playing professionally--Crew Members, Alicia Kapjian-Pitt and Jordan Duval-Smith also won the National Championship--Women’s Water Polo, which includes many members of Kappa, were #2 in the nation.--One of our new members, Maggie Steffens, was awarded FINA Player of the Year--Three members, Olivia Vagelos Abigail Andrews and Molly Welch, won “Hackathon” (a philanthropy competition started by our own Elizabeth Woodson) in which they created an App to help people find jobs-- Olivia Vagelos’ startup MountJuly was funded on KickStarter '''Chapter Growth''' Attendance: We noticed low chapter attendance at weekly chapter meetings in January. We increased this by trying to make chapter meetings more meaningful. We did this by giving out important chapter information at meetings instead of in emails sent out to the chapter. We also increased attendance by inviting powerful speakers to come to meetings, like California Senator Dianne Feinstein, who spoke about current legislation, her time as a woman at Stanford, and how to be a strong woman in politics. We also had Stanford faculty come speak about healthy body image and feminist studies. Sisterhood events: Sisters are so busy that sometimes sisterhood events are forgotten. This year, we made sure to have more sisterhood events and successfully hosted letter making, headband making, baking, study sessions, arts and crafts for Mother's Day, and a cooking event. Ritual: As ritual is what bonds together Kappa's across the country, our chapter wanted to appreciate ritual even more. We filled the year with ritual review, including activities to learn more songs, such as fill in the blanks with song lyrics. We also incorporated 15 minutes of ritual review into every meeting. Philanthropy: We wanted to increase the number of philanthropy events that Kappa's were involved in. This year, at our "Snowchella" event, we raised more than $7,000 that was donated to an organization called "Support for International Change." We also started a weekly reading program to children in East Palo Alto.  '''Nature of Chapter''' Beta Eta Deuteron is made up of a group of women who are passionate, intelligent, graceful, kind, and giving. But, the quality that distinguishes our group of girls is a sense of confidence and drive. We make a difference on our campus. At Stanford's ISC Greek Awards, our chapter won the most awards of any chapter on campus, a testament to the fact that we have a strong presence at Stanford. Awards included: Outstanding New Member (Paige Fisher), Greek Woman of the Year (Tierney O’Rourke), Greek Involvement (Molly Hayes), Inter-Sorority Council Runner-up (Molly Hayes), Greek Collaboration Runner-up, and Chapter of the Year Runner-up. One of our sisters will be VP of Recruitment next year to continue our Inter-Sorority involvement. We are made up of powerful athletes, club presidents, leaders in the classroom, and would certainly be described as a group of very strong women.  ==Highlights of 2014== 2014 marked an exciting year for Beta Eta Deuteron. At the Stanford Greek Awards, the chapter won the awardfor “Outstanding Scholarship” and “Chapter of the Year.” At the same event our very own Elizabeth Woodson(’15) won the award for “Outstanding University Involvement.” At the Kappa Convention, Stanford Beta Etaalumna, Charlotte Jones Anderson won an Alumnae Achievement Award.  Scholarship was at an all-time high last year, as we had set an unprecedented record for most 4.0 GPAs in one quarter - 18! Our leaders also attended another successful Kappa National Conference in Texas. This past year, Beta Eta Deuteron has had many successful philanthropy events, including Snowchella, our annual benefit concert, that raised over $5,000 for Support for International Change. Learning from the event, one of our goals for 2015 is to conduct more frequent but smaller, innovative philanthropy events to keep the chapter more engaged and involved in philanthropy and to contribute to more organizations including the Kappa Foundation. In an effort to make ritual a bigger part of our chapter’s experience we added ritual review to the beginning of each meeting. In the future, we hope to continue to improve chapter meeting attendance and increase the number of sisterhood events in order to bring the pledge classes closer together. The campus climate for Greek life has become significantly more challenging in the past year. Theadministration has certainly increased its efforts to scrutinize the Fraternity and Sorority community at Stanford, which is clearly a response to national pressures and movements against Greek life. Discussions of the issue of sexual assault has been prevalent on campus, and Beta Eta Deuteron has played an important role in participating and facilitating these discussions. In order to address these issues, the chapter has participated in discussions of Title IX with Angela Exon from Stanford’s Sexual Assault and Relationship Abuse Center, during which we discussed how our chapter can use our influence on campus and our core values of leadership, respect, and fraternity to be leaders and supporters of the movement to change campus culture surrounding sexual assault. As a chapter, we have made it a point to attend various speakers who focus on the topic, including an informative and heart-wrenching talk survivor-activist Wagatwe Wanjuki. The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life introduced a new program that asked each Greek chapter to nominate a Violence Intervention and Prevention Chair, which would serve as the point person for questions and concerns regarding sexual assault in each chapter. Our chapter nominated two members who have just begun their training in the program. One of our members, Elizabeth Woodson, is spearheading a campus task force on sexual assault and mental healthy in her role as Student Body President of the Undergraduate Community at Stanford. We are proud of her work to help make Stanford a more safe, open, and healthy environment. Beta Eta Deuteron was founded as an un-housed fraternity in 1892, but was able to build a house oncampus in 1900, the first KKG chapter to do so. In 1944, Stanford removed all women’s fraternitiesincluding Kappa Kappa Gamma, and the house was acquired by the University. In 1978, Bet Eta Deuteronchapter was reinstalled at Stanford without a house, and the chapter remains un-housed to this day. Ourchapter and chapter council meetings are held in a conference room in the Taube Hillel House on campus.The building is owned by the University, but operated by the Ziff Center for Jewish Life. Beta EtaDeuteron rents the room for a small fee on a per quarter basis. Despite our status as an un-housed sorority,many members choose to live together in the same dorm their sophomore year, which fosters a greatsense of community in the first full year of membership. During the 2014-2015 school year, 31 of the 36members of the 2017 pledge class live together in a Stanford Dormitory residence entitled FlorenceMoore Hall.  ==Highlights of 2015==This year, we have focused on enhancing our sisterhood and improving our philanthropic impact. Asan un-housed chapter, we have to be creative in finding ways to strengthen our bonds of sisterhood andloyalty. To do so, we have implemented consistent member class meals, which are opportunities for anentire grade class to get together for a fun meal, paid for by Kappa. Furthermore, we have also created atradition of small group get togethers, where we randomly assign girls to groups, composed of members ofvarious grade levels and interests, and ask them to get together for a meal, activity, etc. We have alsoorganized group outings to spin classes, group yoga, and other activities that encourage our members tobond with each other through healthy and mindful movement. In terms of Philanthropy, our chapter has traditionally always hosted an annual benefit concert thatraises money for a charity of our choice, as well as done weekly homeless feeds and middle-school readings.That being said, one of our goals this past year was to significantly improve our philanthropy efforts, and tohost multiple fundraisers each year and to support a broader range of philanthropies. Last Spring, we gotinvolved with the Movement Foundation, which is an organization that brings health and wellnesseducation to low-income areas, as well as conducting positive body-image campaigns. Our group raised over$7000 for the organization and participated in their annual Dare to Bare spin class ride, which celebratesbody image positivity and body diversity. Building on our work with an organization that is focused on health and wellness, this Fall, we choseto focus on sexual health and sexual assault prevention. We decided to partner with the Joyful HeartFoundation, an organization focused on healing, empowering, and advocating for survivors of sexualviolence, to launch an awareness campaign this Fall and raise money for the organization through ourbenefit concert next January. The awareness campaign was modeled after the foundation’s “No More”Campaign, which asks individuals to pinpoint specific stereotypes, negative sayings, or misconceptionsabout sexual assault and to say ‘No More’ to them. We brought this to Stanford’s campus, which entailedtaking photos of students holding up signs that help to dispel rape myths, both generic and specific to our campus. We took over 300 photos and plan to post the signs all over campus leading up to our benefitconcert to raise awareness and money for the organization. Academically, our chapter continues to excel. Last Spring marked a new record for our chapter interms of the number of girls who received a 4.0 GPA- 21 individuals! Our chapter continues to celebratethis strength and to encourage all of our members to be committed to their academic work.Describe the recent changes on your campus and describe the overall nature of your chapter.This past year at Stanford, we have seen a more heated campus climate surrounding Greek Life.While the community as a whole has faced increased scrutiny, our chapter has maintained good standingwith the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life and worked hard to develop our relationship withadministrators. The FSL Office introduced a new administrative requirement for all Greek chapters thisyear, entitled Standards of Excellence, which required our chapter to undertake a broad review of ourstrengths and weaknesses on a variety of dimensions. This new requirement was communicated to ouradvisors at Kappa nationals, and our results from the FSL office were largely very positive.More broadly, the problem of sexual assault on campuses nationwide has led to a significant amountof activism on our campus, surrounding the ways in which we can address and improve this issue. Beta EtaDeuteron has taken a special interest in being a part of the conversation about how we as individuals and asa group can help to eradicate sexual assault from our campus. We recently had a training from Carly Flanery,the acting director for Stanford’s Sexual Assault and Relationship Abuse Education and Response Office,come and give an overview of Stanford’s policy on sexual assault, as well as facilitate a conversation aroundlearning to become upstanders, rather than bystanders, when we witness sexual assault and/or relationshipviolence. Many of the individuals within our Chapter are also leaders within other campus organizations,and the strength of our campus involvement is often pointed out as a strength by members of the StanfordCommunity. Overall, the nature of our chapter is involved, active, and purposeful about addressing criticalissues. We are committed to learning more and constantly trying to improve our understanding andresponse to critical issues on our campus. Chapter Philanthropy: What organization(s) has your chapter historically/traditionally raised money for, or donated hours to, inyour community? In the past, our fundraising efforts have been focused on Support for International Change, anorganization that helps provide health care in Tanzania. That being said, as we decided to focus more onwomen’s health and wellness and female empowerment in our chapter programming and efforts, wethought it would be a good idea to match that commitment with our philanthropy. Therefore, last Spring,we shifted to a large fundraising effort for the Movement Foundation, which helps bring physical andhealth education into low-income schools and supports positive body image campaigns. This fall, we havechosen to direct our fundraising efforts to the Joyful Heart Foundation. Joyful Heart is a non-profitdedicated to supporting, guiding, and aiding victims of sexual assault. Why did your chapter choose this organization(s) to support? As a whole, our chapter is committed to working on issues of female empowerment, health, and well being, and we felt it was important that our philanthropic efforts were connected to this. The organizations we have chosen to support reflect these ideals and do an excellent job of promoting healthy women in our society. ==Highlights of 2016:== Kappa has focused on our values of diversity and inclusion and our recruitment process earlier this year was an important part of that. We felt that the conversations we had leading up to recruitment and our voting methods allowed for an intake of new members whose values deeply align with those of the organization: respect, integrity, and honest. As we welcomed our new pledge class, we reconnected as a chapter too. Highlights of the 2016 new member period included:• 4/12: New Member class dinner with New Member Chairmen• 4/13: Sleepover at Mirlo with sophomores • 4/17: New Member Brunch at Florence Moore Dining Hall with New Member Chairmen• 4/18: New Member/Sophomore Class S’mores bonding event• 4/25-20194/29:Big-Little Week• 5/4: Standards Chapter Meeting with New Members about Drinking Culture and Hazing• 5/21: Initiation at Kappa Kappa Gamma house at University of California, Berkeley We have also made changes to our financial management system to continue our efforts of financial diligence, accessibility, and transparency. Within this past year, Kappa has launched it’s Sponsorship Program, which is the first of its kind amongst Kappa chapters across the nation. This program gives girls the opportunity to seek financial assistance for the payment of their dues. Kappa prides itself on accessibility to girls regardless of their financial situation and socio-economic background, and this program has already helped eight active members make Kappa a sustainable financial choice. We have many members who are already in full time jobs to pay for their books and supplies, receive full financial aid from Stanford, and who have financial emergencies at home. Our chapter is committed to supporting these women. The sponsorship program is overseen by our Treasurer and the Stanford Kappa Kappa Gamma House Board, which manages money and resources that can be used for a potential house in the future. The House Board is willing and excited to engage with our chapter members in a myriad of ways, including financial assistance. The Sponsorship program is funded through donations, and does not deplete chapter provided funds that the House Board will continue to reserve in the case that our organization gets a house. The recipients have written thank you notes to their sponsors, and will attend an appreciation event in the Spring. This year, we have also updated our approach for academic support and exploration within the chapter. The Academic Excellence Committee set up study sessions in various spaces on campus so that members can come together to work and de-stress. In winter quarter the new Chapter Council began a quarterly program during which members group together and discuss the classes that they would recommend, study strategies that have worked for them and the best resources they have accessed on campus. Additionally, we maintain a list of our active members’ majors and minors so that undeclared members can find people within the chapter to reach out to with questions about their coursework. This quarter, we hosted two panels during chapter meetings focused on career experiences of our members and alumni.  Along with these milestones, Kappa has been recognized on campus and at the national level. This year, Kappa received an ‘exceeding expectations’ on our Standards of Excellence presentation and report, the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life at Stanford’s annual evaluation system for all Greek communities on campus. Our score placed us among the best performing Greek organizations at Stanford. At convention this summer we were awarded the ‘Signature Event’ prize for medium sized chapters for our benefit concert Snowchella, there is more information about our philanthropy later in the document. This year, Kappas have been involved in numerous varsity and club athletic teams, led and participated in pre-professional and philanthropic organizations, held research and fellowship positions and performed in various dance and theater groups.   ==Highlights of 2017== Stanford​ ​Kappa​ ​has​ ​been​ ​up​ ​to​ ​a​ ​lot​ ​of​ ​awesome​ ​things​ ​this​ ​year!​ ​First​ ​and​ ​foremost,​ ​we​ ​have​ ​continued our​ ​efforts​ ​that​ ​began​ ​last​ ​year​ ​toward​ ​making​ ​the​ ​Beta​ ​Eta​ ​Deuteron​ ​Chapter​ ​a​ ​more​ ​diverse​ ​and​ ​inclusive space​ ​to​ ​women​ ​from​ ​all​ ​walks​ ​of​ ​life.​ ​As​ ​an​ ​organization,​ ​Kappa​ ​acknowledges​ ​that​ ​the​ ​demographics​ ​of our​ ​organization​ ​are​ ​not​ ​at​ ​all​ ​reflective​ ​of​ ​the​ ​general​ ​Stanford​ ​population​ ​but​ ​that​ ​is​ ​why​ ​the​ ​Diversity​ ​and Inclusion​ ​Committee​ ​has​ ​made​ ​it​ ​a​ ​priority​ ​to​ ​constantly​ ​facilitate​ ​conversations​ ​around​ ​this​ ​topic. 
Last​ ​spring​ ​members​ ​of​ ​the​ ​committee​ ​held​ ​an​ ​open​ ​forum​ ​that​ ​was​ ​open​ ​to​ ​all​ ​Greek​ ​organizations​ ​to​ ​talk about​ ​the​ ​status​ ​of​ ​diversity​ ​in​ ​all​ ​of​ ​our​ ​organizations​ ​and​ ​what​ ​that​ ​meant​ ​for​ ​the​ ​freshmen​ ​that​ ​were considering​ ​going​ ​through​ ​the​ ​recruitment​ ​process​ ​(From chapter’s History Reportthis​ ​event​ ​had​ ​approximately​ ​60%​ ​attendance).​ ​We discussed​ ​financial​ ​accessibility,​ ​representation,​ ​inclusion​ ​and​ ​what​ ​those​ ​all​ ​looked​ ​like​ ​in​ ​practice.​ ​Along those​ ​lines,​ ​we’ve​ ​also​ ​held​ ​spotlights,​ ​Beyond​ ​the​ ​Line,​ ​and​ ​the​ ​SOSAS​ ​Panel​ ​in​ ​our​ ​chapter​ ​meetings​ ​in​ ​an effort​ ​to​ ​bring​ ​these​ ​very​ ​important​ ​conversations​ ​to​ ​the​ ​table​ ​and​ ​open​ ​up​ ​the​ ​dialogue​ ​around​ ​these​ ​topics (these​ ​all​ ​occur​ ​at​ ​chapter​ ​that​ ​generally​ ​have​ ​>80%​ ​attendance)​. During​ ​the​ ​Fall​ ​quarter​ ​of​ ​2017,​ ​we​ ​held​ ​a​ ​chapter​ ​meeting​ ​run​ ​by​ ​our​ ​Diversity​ ​and​ ​Inclusion​ ​Committee.  Here,​ ​we​ ​discussed​ ​inclusiveness​ ​within​ ​our​ ​chapter​ ​and​ ​in​ ​doing​ ​so​ ​assure​ ​that​ ​we​ ​prioritize​ ​the​ ​safety​ ​and  comfort​ ​of​ ​all​ ​of​ ​our​ ​members​ ​from​ ​different​ ​backgrounds​ ​and​ ​of​ ​differing​ ​identities.​ ​In​ ​the​ ​coming​ ​year,  we​ ​will​ ​be​ ​having​ ​workshops​ ​that​ ​tackle​ ​implicit​ ​bias​ ​and​ ​how​ ​to​ ​make​ ​a​ ​conscious​ ​effort​ ​to​ ​surpass​ ​those  biases,​ ​not​ ​only​ ​during​ ​the​ ​recruitment​ ​period​ ​but​ ​at​ ​all​ ​times.​ ​Kappa​ ​has​ ​made​ ​it​ ​a​ ​point​ ​to​ ​make​ ​sure​ ​all​ ​of  these​ ​conversations​ ​are​ ​ongoing​ ​and​ ​not​ ​only​ ​relevant​ ​during​ ​the​ ​week​ ​leading​ ​up​ ​to​ ​recruitment​ ​in​ ​the  spring.  In​ ​addition​ ​to​ ​the​ ​goal​ ​of​ ​making​ ​our​ ​chapter​ ​more​ ​inclusive,​ ​this​ ​year,​ ​our​ ​chapter​ ​also​ ​addressed​ ​our​ ​goal  to​ ​keep​ ​our​ ​members​ ​highly​ ​involved​ ​and​ ​boost​ ​their​ ​attendance​ ​to​ ​meetings​ ​and​ ​events.​ ​In​ ​Winter​ ​Quarter  2017,​ ​the​ ​idea​ ​of​ ​“Key​ ​Groups”​ ​was​ ​implemented,​ ​in​ ​which​ ​Chapter​ ​Council​ ​representatives​ ​are​ ​assigned​ ​a  small​ ​group​ ​of​ ​members​ ​across​ ​grades.​ ​They​ ​check​ ​in​ ​with​ ​their​ ​Key​ ​Group​ ​each​ ​chapter​ ​meeting​ ​to  encourage​ ​accountability​ ​and​ ​plan​ ​group​ ​activities​ ​to​ ​get​ ​to​ ​know​ ​a​ ​smaller​ ​group​ ​of​ ​members,​ ​provide  support,​ ​and​ ​serve​ ​as​ ​a​ ​contact​ ​in​ ​the​ ​Kappa​ ​leadership​ ​for​ ​them​ ​to​ ​voice​ ​any​ ​questions​ ​or​ ​concerns.​ ​Key  Groups​ ​have​ ​provided​ ​to​ ​be​ ​a​ ​good​ ​source​ ​of​ ​contact,​ ​ensuring​ ​that​ ​each​ ​member​ ​of​ ​our​ ​chapter​ ​is​ ​held  accountable​ ​by​ ​a​ ​particular​ ​member​ ​of​ ​Chapter​ ​Council.  In​ ​terms​ ​of​ ​traditions,​ ​every​ ​quarter,​ ​pledge​ ​classes​ ​have​ ​allotted​ ​funds​ ​to​ ​eat​ ​a​ ​meal​ ​together​ ​outside​ ​of​ ​the  dining​ ​halls.​ ​As​ ​an​ ​unhoused​ ​chapter,​ ​we​ ​deeply​ ​value​ ​this​ ​opportunity​ ​to​ ​gather​ ​around​ ​a​ ​table​ ​and  celebrate​ ​our​ ​sisterhood.​ ​To​ ​foster​ ​inter-grade​ ​relationships​ ​we​ ​organize​ ​a​ ​number​ ​of​ ​activities​ ​that​ ​are  highly​ ​concentrated​ ​in​ ​the​ ​new​ ​member​ ​period,​ ​but​ ​continue​ ​throughout​ ​the​ ​rest​ ​of​ ​the​ ​year​ ​as​ ​well.​ ​After  Recruitment​ ​in​ ​the​ ​spring,​ ​we​ ​typically​ ​host​ ​a​ ​new​ ​member​ ​sleepover​ ​in​ ​Florence​ ​Moore​ ​Hall​ ​as​ ​an  introductory​ ​event​ ​to​ ​pledge​ ​class​ ​bonding​ ​activities.​ ​We​ ​believe​ ​that​ ​this​ ​event​ ​in​ ​particular​ ​helps​ ​foster​ ​a  community​ ​within​ ​each​ ​grade,​ ​thus​ ​setting​ ​the​ ​tone​ ​for​ ​a​ ​community​ ​built​ ​on​ ​sisterhood​ ​and​ ​friendship.  Far​ ​before​ ​Recruitment​ ​even​ ​begins,​ ​our​ ​chapter​ ​leadership​ ​and​ ​New​ ​Member​ ​Chairmen​ ​work​ ​to​ ​prepare  for​ ​our​ ​incoming​ ​pledge​ ​class.​ ​Highlights​ ​of hte​ ​2017​ ​new​ ​member​ ​period​ ​included​ ​(but​ ​are​ ​not​ ​limited​ ​to):Scholarship  New​ ​Member​ ​class​ ​dinner​ ​with​ ​New​ ​Member​ ​chairmen;​ ​a​ ​new​ ​member​ ​sleepover​ ​at​ ​Mirlo;​ ​new member/sophomore​ ​class​ ​s’mores​ ​bonding​ ​event;​ ​Big-Little​ ​Week;​ ​initiation​ ​at​ ​the​ ​Kappa​ ​Kappa​ ​Gamma  house​ ​at​ ​University​ ​of​ ​California, group honors​ ​Berkeley.​ ​In​ ​each​ ​of​ ​these​ ​events,​ ​New​ ​Member​ ​Chairs​ ​facilitate​ ​bonding  and​ ​sisterhood​ ​through​ ​open​ ​conversation​ ​and​ ​fun​ ​experiences.  Continuing​ ​with​ ​the​ ​trend​ ​of​ ​sisterhood​ ​and​ ​connections,​ ​one​ ​of​ ​our​ ​goals​ ​in​ ​the​ ​past​ ​year​ ​has​ ​been​ ​to  increase​ ​attendance​ ​and​ ​quantity​ ​of​ ​sisterhood​ ​events​ ​in​ ​an​ ​attempt​ ​to​ ​better​ ​foster​ ​strong​ ​relationships  within​ ​our​ ​community.​ ​Because​ ​of​ ​this,​ ​the​ ​Standards​ ​Committee,​ ​led​ ​by​ ​the​ ​Vice​ ​President​ ​of​ ​Standards,  has​ ​planned​ ​more​ ​than​ ​8​ ​events​ ​each​ ​quarter.​ ​These​ ​events​ ​include​ ​but​ ​are​ ​not​ ​limited​ ​to:​ ​weekly​ ​meals​ ​at  Tresidder​ ​Student​ ​Union​ ​open​ ​to​ ​the​ ​chapter,​ ​randomly​ ​assigned​ ​small​ ​group​ ​meals,​ ​kickball, cookie-decorating,​ ​and​ ​arts​ ​and​ ​crafts​ ​projects.​ ​The​increase​ ​in​ ​events​ ​has​ ​increased​ ​attendance​ ​drastically​ ​to  35-55%​ ​at​ ​every​ ​event.​ ​We​ ​are​ ​particularly​ ​proud​ ​of​ ​this​ ​increased​ ​commitment​ ​to​ ​sisterhood​ ​and​ ​building​ ​a community​ ​that​ ​supports​ ​all​ ​members. Our​ ​members​ ​in​ ​Stanford’s​ ​chapter​ ​of​ ​Kappa​ ​Kappa​ ​Gamma​ ​demonstrate​ ​individual​ ​intellectual  commitment​ ​in​ ​their​ ​schoolwork,​ ​extracurriculars,​ ​and​ ​accolades.​ ​The​ ​women​ ​of​ ​our​ ​chapter​ ​have  performed​ ​consistently​ ​in​ ​their​ ​coursework,​ ​evidenced​ ​by​ ​our​ ​mean​ ​chapter​ ​grade​ ​point​ ​average,​ ​which​ ​has  been​ ​3.7​ ​for​ ​the​ ​past​ ​three​ ​quarters​ ​(we​ ​track​ ​our​ ​members’​ ​GPA​ ​on​ ​a​ ​self-reporting​ ​system).​ ​To​ ​facilitate  academic​ ​success​ ​and​ ​exploration,​ ​our​ ​chapter​ ​runs​ ​several​ ​programs​ ​that​ ​seek​ ​to​ ​support​ ​our​ ​members.  The​ ​Academic​ ​Excellence​ ​Committee​ ​sets​ ​up​ ​study​ ​sessions​ ​in​ ​various​ ​spaces​ ​on​ ​campus​ ​so​ ​members​ ​can  come​ ​together​ ​to​ ​work​ ​and​ ​de-stress.​ ​Additionally,​ ​we​ ​maintain​ ​a​ ​list​ ​of​ ​our​ ​active​ ​members’​ ​majors​ ​and  minors,​ ​so​ ​that​ ​undeclared​ ​members​ ​can​ ​find​ ​people​ ​within​ ​the​ ​chapter​ ​to​ ​reach​ ​out​ ​to​ ​with​ ​questions  about​ ​their​ ​coursework​ ​and​ ​academic​ ​goals.​ ​We​ ​have​ ​also​ ​started​ ​a​ ​weekly​ ​recognition​ ​program​ ​for  members:​ ​each​ ​week​ ​members​ ​nominate​ ​another​ ​member​ ​for​ ​an​ ​academic​ ​accomplishment,​​and​ ​in​ ​chapter  they​ ​are​ ​announced​ ​and​ ​are​ ​given​ ​a​ ​chocolate​ ​bar.​ ​ This​ ​past​ ​winter​ ​quarter,​ ​the​ ​new​ ​Chapter​ ​Council​ ​began  a​ ​quarterly​ ​program​ ​during​ ​which​ ​members​ ​group​ ​together​ ​and​ ​discuss​ ​recommended​ ​classes,​ ​study  strategies,​ ​and​ ​resources​ ​available​ ​on​ ​campus.​ ​This​ ​Fall​ ​quarter,​ ​we​ ​hosted​ ​a​ ​career​ ​panel​ ​during​ ​a​ ​chapter  meeting​ ​focused​ ​on​ ​career​ ​experiences​ ​of​ ​our​ ​alumni.​ ​The​ ​panel​ ​hosted​ ​five​ ​women​ ​who​ ​have​ ​worked​ ​or  are​ ​currently​ ​working​ ​in​ ​venture​ ​capital,​ ​management​ ​consulting,​ ​law,​ ​software​ ​engineering,​ ​and​ ​education.  These​ ​women​ ​offered​ ​advice​ ​on​ ​beginning​ ​one’s​ ​career​ ​in​ ​addition​ ​to​ ​discussing​ ​their​ ​experience​ ​as​ ​women  in​ ​the​ ​workplace.​ ​In​ ​the​ ​future,​ ​we​

​in​ ​a​ ​speaker​ ​to​ ​discuss​ ​time​ ​management​ ​techniques​ ​with​ ​our​ ​New​ ​Members. Through​ ​these​ ​programs​ ​we​ ​hope​ ​to​ ​spur​ ​conversations​ ​between​ ​members​ ​about​ ​their​ ​academic​ ​goals​ ​and  career​ ​interests​ ​that​ ​encourage​ ​Kappa’s​ ​women​ ​to​ ​share​ ​their​ ​intellectual​ ​passion​ ​with​ ​each​ ​other.  Our​ ​members’​ ​majors​ ​and​ ​extracurricular​ ​pursuits​ ​bring​ ​to​ ​life​ ​their​ ​passions​ ​and​ ​interests.​ ​Our​ ​members  pursue​ ​their​ ​commitment​ ​to​ ​social​ ​impact​ ​as​ ​board​ ​members​ ​of​ ​Stanford​ ​Students​ ​Social​ ​Entrepreneurship  Association, overall nature of the chapter​ ​tutors​ ​in​ ​a​ ​college​ ​preparation​ ​course​ ​who​ ​live​ ​in​ ​the​ ​area, chapter goals​ ​tutors​ ​for​ ​East​ ​Palo​ ​Alto​

​at​ ​the​ ​School​ ​of  Medicine.​ ​Finally,​ ​Kappa​ ​has​ ​three​ ​members​ ​in​ ​the​ ​​Mayfield​ ​Fellowship​ ​program,​ ​as​ ​well​ ​as,​ ​a​ ​Truman  Scholar​ ​this​ ​year.​ ​Beta​ ​Eta​ ​Deuteron’s​ ​members​ ​also​ ​pursue​ ​intellectual​ ​interests​ ​via​ ​clubs,​ ​like​ ​Stanford  Women​ ​in​ ​Business,​ ​American​ ​Middle​ ​Eastern​ ​Network​ ​for​ ​Dialogue​ ​at​ ​Stanford,​ ​Design​ ​for​ ​America,  Smart​ ​Women​ ​Securities,​ ​Stanford​ ​Women​ ​in​ ​CS,​ ​Stanford​ ​Black​ ​Pre-Med​ ​Association,​ ​and​ ​Stanford​ ​in  Government. Aside​ ​from​ ​our​ ​incredible​ ​achievements​ ​in​ ​scholarship,​ ​Stanford​ ​Kappa​ ​members​ ​also​ ​have​ ​amazing  involvements​ ​outside​ ​of​ ​the​ ​classroom.​ ​In​ ​Kappa​we​ ​have​ ​many​ ​varsity​ ​athletes​ ​and​ ​varsity​ ​captains.​ ​In  total,​ ​fourteen​ ​varsity​ ​teams​ ​are􀀁represented​ ​in​ ​Kappa:​ ​from​ ​Women’s​ ​Field​ ​􀀁Hockey​ ​to​ ​Tennis​ ​to​ ​Fencing,  just​ ​to​ ​name​ ​a​ ​few.􀀁​ ​In​ ​the​ ​summer​ ​of​ ​2016,​ ​we​ ​even​ ​had​ ​two​ ​women​ ​from​ ​the􀀁​ ​chapter​ ​participate​ ​in​ ​the  Rio​ ​Summer​ ​Olympics-􀀁Kassidy​ ​Cook​ ​(class​ ​of​ ​2018)​ ​competed​ ​in​ ​Olympic​ ​Diving​ ​and􀀁​ ​Maggie​ ​Steffens  (class​ ​of​ ​2017)​ ​competed​ ​for​ ​her​ ​second​ ​time​ ​􀀁in​ ​Olympic​ ​Women’s​ ​Water​ ​Polo​ ​and​ ​received​ ​􀀁the​ ​MVP  award.​ ​Additionally,​ ​Andi​ ​Sullivan​ ​(Class​ ​of​ ​2018)​ ​was​ ​pulled​ ​up​ ​in​ ​October​ ​2017​ ​to​ ​play​ ​with​ ​the​ ​United  States​ ​Women’s​ ​National​ ​Soccer​ ​Team​ ​as​ ​the​ ​only​ ​current​ ​collegiate​ ​student-athlete​ ​in​ ​the​ ​team.​ ​She​ ​joins Stanford​ ​Kappa​ ​Jane​ ​Campbell​ ​(Class​ ​of​ ​2017)​ ​on​ ​the​ ​team.  Off​ ​the​ ​court,​ ​Kappas​ ​engage􀀁in​ ​many​ ​pre-professional​ ​communities.​ ​For​ ​􀀁example,​ ​for​ ​the​ ​2017​ ​term​ ​Ali  Eicher​ ​(Class​ ​of​ ​2018)​ ​is​ ​the​ ​Co-President​ ​of​ ​Stanford​ ​Women​ ​in​ ​Business​ ​and​ ​six​ ​Vice-Presidents​ ​and​ ​3  Directors​ ​are​ ​Kappas.​ ​Additionally,​ ​a​ ​group​ ​of​ ​our​ ​members​ ​including​ ​Elizabeth​ ​Overton​ ​(class​ ​of​ ​2018),  Liney​ ​Smith​ ​and​ ​Felicia​ ​Tissenbaum​ ​(both​ ​class​ ​of​ ​2017)​ ​addressed​ ​a​ ​significant​ ​need​ ​for​ ​female􀀁 pre-professional​ ​clubs​ ​by​ ​founding​ ​a​ ​Smart​ ​Women​ ​Securities​ ​chapter​ ​at​ ​Stanford.​ ​ In​ ​addition​ ​to career-driven​ ​groups,​ ​our​ ​members​ ​take​ ​part​ ​in​ ​many​ ​activist​ ​communities​ ​addressing​ ​race​ ​and​ ​ethnicity,  gender,​ ​identity,​ ​and​ ​intersectionality​​on​ ​campus.​ ​Just​ ​to​ ​name​ ​a​ ​few,​ ​Kappas​ ​are​ ​participants​ ​and​ ​leaders​ ​in  Girl​ ​Up-​ ​a​ ​UN​ ​Foundation,​ ​FACES,​ ​the​ ​Women’s​ ​Coalition,​ ​the​ ​Black​ ​Family​ ​Gathering​ ​Committee,​ ​the  Clayman​ ​Institute,​ ​AMENDS,​ ​and​ ​the​ ​Women’s​ ​Community.​ ​In​ ​April​ ​of​ ​2016,​ ​our​ ​member​ ​Madeleine  Lippey​ ​(Class​ ​of​ ​2018)​ ​brought​ ​the​ ​Fearless​ ​Conference,​ ​a​ ​student​ ​run​ ​event​ ​encouraging​ ​the​ ​Stanford  community​ ​to​ ​rewrite​ ​and​ ​reclaim​ ​the​ ​conversation​​around​ ​sexual​ ​and​ ​intimate​ ​partner​ ​violence​ ​through  intersectional,​ ​inclusive,​ ​and​ ​collaborative​ ​programming,​ ​to​ ​campus.​ ​ Several​ ​other​ ​members​ ​were​ ​deeply  involved​ ​in​ ​the​ ​organization​ ​and​ ​production​ ​of​ ​this​ ​event​ ​that​ ​served​ ​the​ ​broader​ ​undergraduate​ ​population.  Last​ ​year,​ ​Alexis​ ​Kallen​ ​(Class​ ​of​ ​2018)​ ​served​ ​as​ ​the​ ​Co-Chair​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Scary​ ​Path​ ​Task​ ​Force​ ​with​ ​Greg  Boardman.​ ​It​ ​has​ ​been​ ​incredible​ ​to​ ​see​ ​the​ ​fruition​ ​of​ ​all​ ​of​ ​Alexis’​ ​hard​ ​work​ ​this​ ​year​ ​with​ ​the​ ​finished​ ​lit  path.​ ​Kappa​ ​currently​ ​has​ ​3​ ​members​ ​who​ ​are​ ​Mayfield​ ​Fellows​ ​and​ ​one​ ​member​ ​who​ ​is​ ​a​ ​Harry​ ​S.​ ​Truman  Scholar.​ ​Finally,​ ​Kappas​ ​are​ ​deeply​ ​engaged​ ​in​ ​the​ ​Residential​ ​Education​ ​community​ ​throughout​ ​Stanford’s  Campus.​ ​For​ ​the​ ​2017-2018​ ​year,​ ​three​ ​members​ ​are​ ​RAs​ ​in​ ​freshman​ ​dorms,​ ​two​ ​members​ ​are​ ​RAs​ ​in  Suites,​ ​and​ ​five​ ​members​ ​on​ ​staff​ ​at​ ​French​ ​House,​ ​680​ ​Lomita,​ ​and​ ​Casa​ ​Italiana.​ ​Please​ ​reference  Appendix​ ​I-​ ​Member​ ​Extracurricular​ ​Involvement​ ​2017​ ​for​ ​a​ ​complete​ ​list​ ​of​ ​extracurricular​ ​organizations in​ ​which​ ​Kappas​ ​hold​ ​membership.   Although​ ​our​ ​campus​ ​has​ ​not​ ​undergone​ ​and​ ​major​ ​changes​ ​recently,​ ​our​ ​chapter​ ​still​ ​remains​ ​committed  to​ ​creating​ ​a​ ​space​ ​where​ ​strong​ ​women​ ​can​ ​come​ ​and​ ​empower​ ​one​ ​another.​ ​We​ ​do​ ​this​ ​by​ ​fostering​ ​a  welcoming​ ​community,​ ​that​ ​is​ ​working​ ​on​ ​our​ ​path​ ​towards​ ​being​ ​inclusive​ ​for​ ​everyone;​ ​by​ ​supporting​ ​our  members​ ​in​ ​their​ ​New​ ​Members​ ​journey​ ​to​ ​becoming​ ​Kappa​ ​women;​ ​by​ ​supporting​ ​all​ ​of​ ​our​ ​amazing  members​ ​in​ ​whatever​ ​endeavors​ ​they​ ​undertake,​ ​from​ ​the​ ​classroom,​ ​to​ ​clubs,​ ​to​ ​athletics;​ ​and​ ​by  supporting​ ​causes​ ​that​ ​demonstrate​ ​our​ ​commitment​ ​to​ ​all​ ​women,​ ​as​ ​can​ ​be​ ​seen​ ​through​ ​our​ ​extensive  philanthropic​ ​work.​ ​The​ ​women​ ​of​ ​Beta​ ​Eta​ ​Deuteron​ ​are​ ​highly​ ​accomplished​ ​women​ ​who​ ​never​ ​fail​ ​to  achieve​ ​the​ ​highest​ ​in​ ​all​ ​aspects​ ​of​ ​their​ ​lives.  Our​ ​chapter​ ​is​ ​extremely​ ​committed​ ​to​ ​combining​ ​the​ ​values​ ​and​ ​goals​ ​of​ ​Kappa​ ​Kappa​ ​Gamma’s  national​ ​philanthropy​ ​mission​ ​with​ ​the​ ​specific​ ​interests​ ​and​ ​passions​ ​of​ ​women​ ​in​ ​our​ ​Stanford​ ​chapter.​ ​In  2016,​ ​we​ ​changed​ ​our​ ​main​ ​philanthropy,​ ​because​ ​we​ ​truly​ ​believed​ ​that​ ​this​ ​transition​ ​to​ ​the​ ​Joyful​ ​Heart  Foundation​ ​as​ ​a​ ​beneficiary​ ​is​ ​both​ ​more​ ​in​ ​line​ ​with​ ​our​ ​core​ ​values​ ​and​ ​mission​ ​as​ ​women’s​ ​group,​ ​and  incredibly​ ​relevant​ ​to​ ​campus​ ​culture​ ​at​ ​Stanford​ ​today.​ ​Our​ ​chapter​ ​has​ ​been​ ​really​ ​invested​ ​in​ ​promoting  female​ ​empowerment.​ ​Thorough​ ​this​ ​recognized​ ​passion​ ​within​ ​our​ ​chapter​ ​that​ ​stemmed​ ​from​ ​a​ ​larger,  this​ ​year,​ ​Stanford​ ​Kappa​ ​adopted​ ​campus​ ​sexual​ ​assault​ ​and​ ​intimate​ ​partner​ ​violence​ ​as​ ​our​ ​primary​ ​cause  that​ ​we​ ​support.​ ​
'''Housing:''' For​ ​this,​ ​our​ ​chapter​ ​launched​ ​a​ ​fundraising​ ​campaign​ ​for​ ​the​ ​Joyful​ ​Heart​ ​Foundation,​ ​a  national​ ​non-profit​ ​organization,​ ​founded​ ​by​ ​Kappa​ ​alumnae​ ​and​ ​Law​ ​and​ ​Order​ ​SVU​ ​star​ ​Mariska Hargitay,​ ​dedicated​ ​to​ ​empowering,​ ​educating,​ ​and​healing​ ​survivors​ ​of​ ​sexual​ ​assault​ ​so​ ​that​ ​they​ ​can  reclaim​ ​a​ ​sense​ ​of​ ​joy​ ​in​ ​their​ ​lives.​ ​Their​ ​mission​ ​includes​ ​dispelling​ ​rape​ ​myths,​ ​hosting​ ​survivor​ ​healing  and​ ​trauma​ ​care​ ​retreats,​ ​and​ ​putting​ ​an​ ​end​ ​to​ ​the​ ​backlog​ ​of​ ​untested​ ​rape​ ​kits​ ​in​ ​justice​ ​departments  around​ ​the​ ​United​ ​States.​ ​Our​ ​big​ ​showcase​ ​of​ ​our​ ​philanthropy​ ​efforts​ ​for​ ​the​ ​year​ ​was​ ​Snowchella,​ ​an  awareness​ ​and​ ​benefit​ ​concert​ ​that​ ​we​ ​put​ ​on​ ​with​ ​Sigma​ ​Nu​ ​and​ ​the​ ​Stanford​ ​Concert​ ​Network.​ ​This​ ​year  was​ ​our​ ​first​ ​year​ ​having​ ​a​ ​three-way​ ​partnership​ ​for​ ​this​ ​event.​ ​​
​Prior​ ​to​ ​the​ ​concert​ ​we​designed​ ​and​ ​sold  shirts​ ​for​ ​the​ ​concert​ ​where​ ​the​ ​proceeds​ ​were​ ​donated​ ​to​ ​the​ ​Joyful​ ​Heart​ ​Foundation.​ ​At​ ​the​ ​concert  itself,​ ​we​ ​had​ ​an​ ​all​ ​female​ ​DJ​ ​lineup​ ​of​ ​The​ ​Kemist,​ ​Astronautica,​ ​and​ ​Anna​ ​Lunoe​ ​to​ ​support​ ​our​ ​message  of​ ​female​ ​empowerment.​ ​We​ ​sold​ ​food​ ​and​ ​beverages​ ​to​ ​fundraise,​ ​and​ ​we​ ​had​ ​a​ ​table​ ​dedicated​ ​to​ ​the  Joyful​ ​Heart​ ​Foundation​ ​so​ ​that​ ​people​ ​could​ ​come​ ​and​ ​learn​ ​more​ ​about​ ​the​ ​cause​ ​and​ ​potentially​donate  to​ ​our​ ​fundraiser.​ ​Throughout​ ​the​ ​concert,​ ​our​ ​philanthropy​ ​chair​ ​went​ ​on​ ​stage​ ​to​ ​introduce​ ​each​ ​act​ ​and  share​ ​information​ ​about​ ​the​ ​Joyful​ ​Heart​ ​Foundation.​ ​Before​ ​entering​ ​the​ ​concert,​ ​we​ ​made​ ​sure​ ​that everyone​ ​was​ ​on​ ​their​ ​best​ ​behavior​ ​at​ ​the​ ​concert. 
Overall,​ ​throughout​ ​the​ ​course​ ​of​ ​the​ ​year​ ​we​ ​were​ ​able​ ​to​ ​raise​ ​almost​ ​$20,000​ ​for​ ​the​ ​Joyful​ ​Heart 
Foundation,​ ​and​ ​we​ ​really​ ​succeeded​ ​in​ ​bringing​ ​awareness​ ​about​ ​sexual​ ​assault​ ​to​ ​our​ ​campus​ ​in​ ​hope​ ​of 
putting​ ​an​ ​end​ ​to​ ​it​ ​once​ ​and​ ​for​ ​all.​ ​Some​ ​of​ ​our​ ​public​ ​education​ ​and​ ​awareness​ ​events​ ​included: 
'''Philanthropy:Hunting​ ​Ground​ ​Documentary​ ​Screening​ ​and​ ​Clothing​ ​Drive'''​--​ ​For​ ​this​ ​awareness​ ​event,​ ​we​ ​ordered  pizzas,​ ​and​ ​invited​ ​members​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Stanford​ ​Community​ ​to​ ​come​ ​to​ ​Sigma​ ​Nu​ ​where​ ​we​ ​were​ ​streaming The​ ​Hunting​ ​Ground​,​ ​a​ ​powerful​ ​documentary​ ​film​ ​about​ ​the​ ​incidence​ ​of​ ​sexual​ ​assault​ ​on​ ​college​ ​campuses. This​ ​documentary​ ​really​ ​spread​ ​awareness​ ​about​ ​the​ ​prevalence​ ​of​ ​sexual​ ​assault​ ​on​ ​college​ ​campuses. Additionally,​ ​for​ ​people​ ​to​ ​come​ ​watch​ ​the​ ​movie​ ​and​ ​get​ ​pizza,​ ​we​ ​asked​ ​them​ ​to​ ​bring​ ​an​ ​article​ ​of  clothing​ ​with​ ​them​ ​to​ ​donate​ ​to​ ​The​ ​Grateful​ ​Garment​ ​Project.​ ​When​ ​victims​ ​of​ ​sexual​ ​assault​ ​leave​ ​the  hospital,​ ​they​ ​often​ ​have​ ​to​ ​leave​ ​with​ ​hospital​ ​gowns​ ​since​ ​they​ ​are​ ​forced​ ​to​ ​use​ ​their​ ​clothes​ ​as​ ​evidence  in​ ​their​ ​rape​ ​kit.​ ​By​ ​having​ ​clothes​ ​donated​ ​for​ ​them​ ​to​ ​wear​ ​when​ ​leaving​ ​the​ ​hospital,​ ​we​ ​are​ ​able​ ​to​ ​help  return​ ​their​ ​dignity. 
'''Philanthropy​ ​Day​'''--​ ​For​ ​this,​ ​on​ ​a​ ​Saturday​ ​morning,​ ​members​ ​of​ ​Kappa​ ​and​ ​Sigma​ ​Nu​ ​gathered​ ​to​ ​send  emails​ ​to​ ​friends,​ ​families,​ ​and​ ​local​​business​ ​about​ ​donating​ ​to​ ​our​ ​cause.​ ​We​ ​had​ ​an​ ​email​ ​template​ ​drafted  that​ ​explained​ ​everything​ ​about​ ​the​ ​Joyful​ ​Heart​ ​Foundation​ ​and​ ​their​ ​mission. 
'''Joyful​ ​Heart​ ​Dinner'''​ For​ ​this​ ​event,​ ​we​ ​flew​ ​a​ ​member​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Joyful​ ​Heart​ ​Foundation,​ ​Vaughan​ ​Bagely  (a​ ​Stanford​ ​Alumnae),​ ​out​ ​to​ ​come​ ​to​ ​talk​ ​to​ ​members​ ​of​ ​Kappa​ ​and​ ​Sigma​ ​Nu​ ​about​ ​the​ ​foundation​ ​and  their​ ​mission.​ ​This​ ​really​ ​sparked​ ​passion​ ​in​ ​the​ ​members​ ​of​ ​our​ ​organization​ ​and​ ​encouraged​ ​them​ ​to​ ​get  more​ ​involved​ ​in​ ​Snowchella​ ​and​ ​raising​ ​money​ ​and​ ​awareness​ ​for​ ​the​ ​Joyful​ ​Heart​ ​Foundation.​ ​The​ ​Joyful  Heart​ ​Foundation​ ​is​ ​releasing​ ​a​ ​movie​ ​soon​ ​called​ ​​I​ ​am​ ​Evidence​,​ ​which​ ​we​ ​are​ ​hoping​ ​to​ ​stream​ ​for  members​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Stanford​ ​community​ ​sometime​ ​this​ ​fall! 
'''Convention Awards:VAWA​ ​calling​'''--​ ​After​ ​having​ ​the​ ​representative​ ​from​ ​the​ ​Joyful​ ​Heart​ ​Foundation​ ​come​ ​and​ ​speak​ ​about  the​ ​foundation,​ ​members​ ​of​ ​Kappa​ ​were​ ​eager​ ​to​ ​learn​ ​more​ ​about​ ​what​ ​we​ ​can​ ​do​ ​as​ ​students​ ​to​ ​help​ ​end  sexual​ ​assault​ ​and​ ​actually​ ​make​ ​a​ ​large​ ​impact​ ​on​ ​the​ ​broader​ ​community.​ ​The​ ​representative​ ​told​ ​us​ ​that​ ​a  big​ ​thing​ ​we​ ​can​ ​do​ ​is​ ​take​ ​action​ ​by​ ​calling​ ​our​ ​senators​ ​to​ ​encourage​ ​them​ ​to​ ​vote​ ​against​ ​the​ ​defunding  of​ ​the​ ​Violence​ ​Against​ ​Women​ ​Act​ ​(VAWA).​ ​After​ ​hearing​ ​this,​ ​Kappa​ ​partnered​ ​with​ ​Columbae​ ​and  their​ ​political​ ​peer​ ​accountability​ ​programming​ ​to​ ​host​ ​a​ ​call​ ​center​ ​at​ ​Mirlo​ ​(where​ ​a​ ​lot​ ​of​ ​our​ ​members  live)​ ​for​ ​members​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Stanford​ ​community​ ​to​ ​come​ ​and​ ​read​ ​a​ ​script​ ​to​ ​let​ ​their​ ​senators​ ​know​ ​that​ ​they  do​ ​not​ ​support​ ​the​ ​defunding​ ​of​ ​VAWA.​ ​Many​ ​people​ ​came​ ​from​ ​across​ ​campus​ ​and​ ​it​ ​felt​ ​like​ ​we​ ​were  really​ ​starting​ ​to​ ​make​ ​an​ ​impact​ ​in​ ​the​ ​broader​ ​community. 
'''SARA​ ​Training'''​--​ ​After​ ​Snowchella,​ ​we​ ​organized​ ​a​ ​visit​ ​from​ ​the​ ​SARA​ ​office​ ​at​ ​Sigma​ ​Nu​ ​where  members​ ​of​ ​Kappa​ ​and​ ​Sigma​ ​Nu​ ​received​ ​training​ ​on​ ​how​ ​to​ ​talk​ ​to​ ​and​ ​respond​ ​to​ ​victims​ ​of​ ​sexual  assault.​ ​They​ ​also​ ​provided​ ​us​ ​with​ ​information​ ​on​ ​all​ ​of​ ​the​ ​resources​ ​that​ ​Stanford​ ​has​ ​to​ ​help​ ​victims​ ​of  sexual​ ​assault​ ​and​ ​the​ ​steps​ ​that​ ​can​ ​be​ ​taken​ ​when​ ​someone​ ​experiences​ ​sexual​ ​assault. 
Some​ ​of​ ​our​ ​fundraising​ ​events​ ​included:
'''Kirk’s​ ​Steakburgers​ ​Fundraiser'''-​For​ ​this​ ​fundraising​ ​event​ ​we​ ​partnered​ ​with​ ​a​ ​local​ ​restaurant​ ​to​ ​raise  money​ ​for​ ​the​ ​Joyful​ ​Heart​ ​Foundation.​ ​The​ ​owner​ ​kindly​ ​agreed​ ​to​ ​donate​ ​20%​ ​of​ ​all​ ​proceeds​ ​after​ ​7:00  P.M.​ ​that​ ​night​ ​to​ ​the​ ​Joyful​ ​Heart​ ​Foundation.​ ​We​ ​made​ ​a​ ​Facebook​ ​event​ ​and​ ​several​ ​members​ ​of​ ​the Stanford​ ​community​ ​came​ ​out​ ​to​ ​eat​ ​some​ ​good​ ​food​ ​and​ ​support​ ​our​ ​cause.​ ​We​ ​raise​ ​approximately​ ​$200 from​ ​this.
'''Celia’s​ ​‘Unspecial​ ​D’​ ​Fundraiser'''​ ​For​ ​this​ ​fundraising​ ​event​ ​we​ ​partnered​ ​with​ ​a​ ​local​ ​restaurant​ ​to​ ​raise money​ ​for​ ​the​ ​Joyful​ ​Heart​ ​Foundation.​ ​We​ ​made​ ​it​ ​an​ ​“Unspecial​ ​Dinner”​ ​where​ ​members​ ​of​ ​Kappa​ ​were all​ ​allowed​ ​to​ ​invite​ ​a​ ​date​ ​and​ ​come​ ​eat​ ​some​ ​good​ ​food​ ​with​ ​good​ ​company.​ ​The​ ​owner​ ​kindly​ ​agreed​ ​to donate​ ​20%​ ​of​ ​all​ ​proceeds​ ​that​ ​night​ ​to​ ​the​ ​Joyful​ ​Heart​ ​Foundation.​ ​We​ ​had​ ​a​ ​great​ ​turnout,​ ​and​ ​we​ ​were able​ ​to​ ​raise​ ​approximately​ ​$455​ ​from​ ​this.
'''Valentine’s​ ​Day​ ​Awareness​ ​Campaign/Fundraiser'''​ ​At​ ​a​ ​sisterhood​ ​event,​ ​our​ ​organization​ ​decorated little​ ​boxes​ ​of​ ​sweethearts​ ​and​ ​candy​ ​bags​ ​with​ ​facts​ ​about​ ​the​ ​Joyful​ ​Heart​ ​Foundation​ ​and​ ​sexual​ ​assault and​ ​a​ ​venmo​ ​handle​ ​for​ ​an​ ​optional​ ​donation.​ ​On​ ​Valentine’s​ ​Day,​ ​we​ ​had​ ​members​ ​of​ ​Kappa​ ​hand​ ​out​ ​the  candy​ ​at​ ​White​ ​Plaza​ ​in​ ​order​ ​to​ ​collect​ ​additional​ ​donations​ ​and​ ​raise​ ​money​ ​and​ ​awareness​ ​for​ ​the​ ​JHF.  We​ ​ended​ ​up​ ​raising​ ​about​ ​$400​ ​dollars​ ​through​ ​this.

'''==Highlights of 2018:=='''
2018 was another great year for the Beta Eta Deuteron chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma! Our members continue to succeed in different ways on campus and in the world – they never fail to amaze us. Our strong internal culture and bond is accented by Kappa members’ extensive involvement in the larger Stanford atmosphere. We are proud to house members involved across campus, specifically on national championship-winning sports teams, presidents of business organizations, teaching assistants for classes, and more. One of our members was even named a Rhodes Scholar, and is currently studying abroad in Oxford, England! Our chapter at Stanford continued to work on various initiatives, namely supporting women’s empowerment and diversity & inclusion. We are pleased to note that due to our emphasis on diversity & inclusion, headquarters has made it a formal chapter council position that will now be implemented in all chapters across the nation. Léa Koob, our president this year, helped draft the proposal for this change at the fraternity’s National Convention in June. We are so excited for future members in this role as Diversity & Inclusion (D & I) chairman to have more support and guidance from fraternity headquarters. This year, we held four chapter meetings focusing on these important topics. Our D & I committee focused on issues like the history of exclusion in Greek Life and implicit bias. Through these workshops, we strive to better ourselves as a chapter, making sure all members, and all future members, will be comfortable in our chapter. We emphasized implicit bias training early in the year, in order to have this be a continuing discussion, not just something we focus on during recruitment. On October 29th of this year, one of our members, Tatie Balabanis, led the chapter through an activity of a class of which she is a teaching assistant (Psychology 103 – Intergroup Communication). In this activity, called an “identity walk,” we focused on exploring the different identities that members of our chapter value and had an open discussion about what some of these various identities mean to members of our chapter. Overall, it was a very successful year of action and conversation surrounding D & I within our chapter and within the broader community at Stanford. We are excited to continue to push these inclusivity efforts and strive for equity in our chapter and our university.
Our chapter feels just as good about our efforts in furthering our women’s empowerment initiatives as well. This is at the center of Kappa’s core values, and we pride ourselves on being a group of capable, passionate, and confident women. We aim to make a positive impact in the world, maintaining a constant focus on women’s empowerment. We do this through various initiatives internally, such as recognition programs at chapter meetings. Our chapter implemented programs such as KKGenius and Support a Sister to reward our members for their excellence inside and outside of the classroom. During the week, members are encouraged to nominate fellow sisters for their accomplishments, be it academic, athletic, or simply for being a strong and supportive sister. Members who are nominated are acknowledged and awarded during chapter meetings that week. Our chapter aims to create a cohesive and friendly environment within Kappa that allows all of our sisters to feel comfortable, and hopefully build on one another’s strengths, inspiring individual achievements in all areas of our members’ lives. Additionally, as a chapter we have tried to focus more of our philanthropic endeavors to help support our goal of empowering women in the broader community, we have seen our chapter used as an incredible platform for our members to accomplish positive change and have their voices heard in the community on campus. Our fraternity has tried to bring together our national philanthropy, Reading is Key, and our passion for addressing women’s issues and bringing awareness to sexual assault. This year, we have been intentional in bridging these two important causes. We planned an annual Reading is Key event, where we read and gave books to children of a local women’s shelter, in addition to brining toiletry kits to the women at the shelter. Our chapter is dedicated to both the fraternity’s national philanthropy and Beta Eta’s chosen philanthropy, Joyful Heart Foundation. At the 2018 National Convention, our chapter was recognized and awarded with the Signature Philanthropy Award (for the second year in a row)!
'''Convention AwardsChanges on campus and the chapter’s overall nature:'''
As part of the broader conversations currently being raised on campus, as discussed above, our chapter focused on thoroughly engaging with our D & I chair and committee over the course of the year. We want to make sure that our chapter reflects the community we are surrounded by on campus here at Stanford. This has changed the nature of the chapter for the better, as we have held several educational events about diversity and inclusion, especially before Recruitment. We have really worked to make our chapter of Kappa as accessible as possible to women in the Stanford community, especially regarding finances.
Our chapter is one of the most accessible in this respect for all members of the Stanford community, something we are very proud of.
