The Chapter was able to indulge in some of our favorite events including the Kappa Krush dance, Semi-Formal dance, and Barn Dances. For this first time, our chapter created a family tree event. This sisterhood event invited all pledge-families to create a scrapbook showcasing their whole family. Hopefully future classes will keep the tradition going and continue to add to their family tree book. We held a glass painting event for Mom's weekend and a tailgate cookout for the fathers on dad's weekend. We had a wonderful recruitment and bid day with a Kappa Kamouflage / army theme.

Chapter Philanthropy
Our chapter supports Habitat for Humanity, because Beta Lambda chapter believes that Habitat for Humanity does incredible charity work by providing for families in need. We hosted our annual volleyball tournament, Kappatat, to raise money for the organization.
For Founders Day, our chapter did the Founders Day ceremony at chapter that talks about each of the founders. We also ordered a huge cake at dinner to celebrate.
Our chapter got to see the Minnie Stewart van to kick off the celebrations of our 150th anniversary. In addition, we plan to send members to convention next year.
