Changes

''Traditions have sprung up, changed, evolved, and endured at Convention. Kappas come together in terms of both generations and geography. Widely varied in terms of location, it is at Convention that members can discover the true scope of the Fraternity and first realize how'' big ''the organization is. Upon arrival, that immediate impression relates to the groups' size. Today's events draw an average of more than 1,000 members. Quickly, though, one sees that "big" also encompasses other attributes of Kappa Kappa Gamma. Past Grand President Helen Snyder Andres, Steiner, Washington, once said that at Convention one discovers "a big, big organization -- big in heart, big in spirit, big in values."'' ~History 2000, Kappa Kappa Gamma Through the Years
