Our main philanthropies are Habitat for Humanity, Reading is Fundamental, and Circle of Sisterhoo. We support these organizations because our chapter has continuously raised money for them for the past several years. With Habitat for Humanity, we have seen first-hand the impact our efforts make by going on "house-builds" where we actually participate in building homes for people that are struggling to make ends meet in our community. Reading is Fundamental has also been one of the organizations we participate in because when we donate books and read to children here in Champaign- Urbana, we get to see the reactions of the children and understand why our help is so important.
==Highlights of the 2017s2017:==
Throughout the year of 2017, the members of Beta Lambda have continued to improve and strengthen our chapter. Beta Lambda was placed on a Warning of Probation for the year of 2017 by Fraternity Headquarters. During the second year of the Warning of Probation, the new chapter council members carried on the progress made by the last chapter council, while steadily advancing Beta Lambda through major improvements throughout the year. For example, we implemented using the Gin System throughout the whole chapter, began using parliamentary procedure during chapter meetings, and sustained open communication with advisers. We also improved our chapter GPA to 3.453 which is above the all sorority GPA of 3.446.
== Highlights of 2018 ==
2018 was a phenomenal year for the Beta Lambda chapter. The chapter was removed from Warning of Probation, but the Chapter Council committed themselves to uphold the progress the chapter has made thus far and continue to work on improving ritual as was as other aspects of our fraternity. Members were very involved in many philanthropic events. We were proud to raise our all-house GPA to reach a 3.553 in the Spring 2018 semester.
-----------------During the fall semester, we hosted our annual Kappatat Volleyball Tournament and Kappasta dinner where we raised money for our philanthropy, Habitat for Humanity. Along with donating money, members donated their time to our philanthropy. For the first time in years, members helped to actually build a house for a family in need. The chapter collected and donated books to donate to schools in the surrounding areas. Some of the members brought the books to children and read to them. We also participated in IlliniThon Dance Marathon where we raised $4,505 for St. Judes Children's Hospital. These members danced throughout the night to help raise money for the kids. In the spring, we held Kappacino on the quad. This Circle of Sisterhood fundraiser helps to raise money by selling coffee and small pastries to other students on the campuses quad.

We attended study parties at the house, and participated in other sisterhood events ice skating and bachelor watch parties at the chapter house. 2 new members joined our chapter for future generations .

During those last 8 weeks, we were able to initiate our 2 new members during Kappa’s first ever zoom initiation. We returned to school in the fall due to COVID, but our semester looked a little different. We held recruitment over zoom and were able to enjoyinitiate 43 new member over zoom. Bid day looked very different as well but we made sure everyone was staying safe with masks and social distancing!We were not able experience this semester like our others, but we were able to have one sisterhood event outdoors at Curtis Apple Orchard. We chose Habitat For Humanity as a philanthropy this year because we are able support the local chapter of H4H in Champaign. We chose Reading is Fundamental because it gives book to underprivileged kids to help give them resources that they would not have otherwise. We implemented a social media awareness campaign this year to promote diversity, equity and inclusion. We had a virtual Founders Day celebration over zoom during a chapter meeting. We read the Founders Day script and promoted Founders Day on social media as well. [[File:Betalambda.jpg|thumb|sisters]]
