'''1,703 759 initiates (as of June 20172018)'''
Our chapter chose these organizations due to their prevalence in the Dartmouth Community. These events are campus wide and have garnered support from our chapter for several years. Additionally, one of our sisters, Summer Hammond, was a consistent participant in Relay for Life events and encouraged many of our sisters to participate with her this past year.
==Highlights of from 2017==
Our Chapter Council has discussed how we hope to foster sisterhood through organic, supportive relationships among members through things such as family lineages, Women of KKG Panel (now termly), sisterhood breakfast, Sister of the Week, tributes, FaculTEA and regular sisterhood outings and events. We have worked to improve our family lineage procedures in order to bolster bonding between upperclasswomen and new memebrs. From last year, we have continued to increase freshman outreach and community engagement. We also hope to eventually open our space for educational programming in order to foster stronger relationships with others on campus. We also are looking to increase the diversity of our sisterhood, and have had open discussions about diversity both on within our sisterhood and with the larger campus in the hopes of making Kappa an even more inclusive and safe environment, both for our current sisters and the campus populace at large.
We meet in the chapter room of our sorority house, the largest room in the house. It is a completely open space with furniture that we can either place in a formal manner, or push to the sides of the room for sisterhood bonding activities.
==Highlights from 2018==
During Chapter Council, we have agreed that loyalty and trust in our sisterhood are two of our most important goals we will continue to foster. Another important challenge and goal we continue to work on is increasing the diversity in our chapter. We are proud that we represent sisters from countries all over the world, different states throughout the United States and who are involved in many different places on the Dartmouth campus.
We also would like to keep many of our traditions that have been alive in our chapter to continue and grow, such as Sister of the Week, FaculTEA, Women of KKG Panel, and sisterhood outings and events among many things. In FaculTEA we invite our Dartmouth professors to come to the KKG house to get to know us better over tea and coffee as well as homemade snacks. One sister even reported that after the event, a professor immediatley let her off the waitlist for an over-enrolled class the following term!
Our philanthropic involvement is described in the following paragraphs. Giving back to the greater Dartmouth community as well as to national organizations is extremely important to our chapter, and we therefore support many philanthropic organizations. Many of our sisters were also actively involved in the recent midterm elections in November in New Hampshire, with a few helping campaign for local candidates.
Since 2015, the Moving Dartmouth Forward Initiative has been in effect. The goal of MDF is to make Dartmouth a safer and more inclusive environment. In the spring of 2015 a strict hard alcohol ban was placed on our campus to encourage students to act more responsibly when drinking alcohol. Statistics have shown that now in 2019, there have been far less drinking related accidents at Dartmouth. To support the no hard alcohol policy on campus, KKG has hosted panels on safe alcohol consumption and sexual assault prevention with Movement Against Violence administrators (many of whom are KKG sisters).
