==Highlights from 2014==
This past year, our house partnered with the Panhellenic Council to expand the scholarships that we as a house can offer. So far this year, we have not won any awards as all of the awards depend on how our chapter scores on the AXiS report, however, we will have those by the end of the spring. In the meantime, we plan on nominating a few of our women for the GLOS Awards, which will also awarded at the end of the term. At the first Chapter Council meeting of spring term, the Chapter Council discussed their vision for the house and brainstormed goals for leadership. We hope to foster sisterhood through organic, supportive relationships among members through things such as family lineages, Women of KKG Panel (now termly), weekly sisterhood dinners, sisterhood breakfast, Sister of the Week, tributes, and regular sisterhood outings and events.
In addition, we hope to improve accountability by ensuring that each member contributes equally to KKG’s operations and maintenance and by holding each member responsible for adhering to the fraternity’s standards for behavior . Our final goal is to increase freshman outreach and community engagement. We hope to bridge the gap between underclassmen and upperclassmen women at Dartmouth, with the hope of expanding our network and exerting a positive influence on these women. By appointing a Freshman Outreach Chair responsible for organizing events geared towards freshmen we hope to extend our connection to other women on campus. We also hope to open our space for educational programming in order to foster stronger relationships with others on campus.
From the summer of 2014 through the winter of 2015 our chapter has completed 1,613 hours of philanthropy. These hours were accumulated through Kappa Philanthropy projects such as the Prouty Fundraiser for the Norris Cotton Cancer Center where we raised about $10,000, the Children's Hospital at Dartmouth 5k/Half Marathon where 38 sisters participated and we raised $3,480, and the 5k fundraiser for the Selamta non-profit. Many sisters also contributed to the Epsilon Chi chapter's philanthropy through many of their own initiatives such as participating in the Big Brother Big Sister program or the Summer Enrichment at Dartmouth program.
Recently, our campus has been having many debates on the nature of the Greek system at Dartmouth. Our newly-appointed president, Phil Hanlon, has been trying to take measures to cut down on destructive behavior, especially concerning alcohol abuse and sexual assault. For instance, starting this spring quarter, President Hanlon has banned all hard alcohol consumption on campus and at Dartmouth sponsored events.
Within our chapter, this has played out in a number of ways. We are taking a number of measures to cut down on the destructive behavior that President Hanlon is trying to reduce. Our goal is to keep all of our sisters safe and following college policy.
We hold meetings in the KKG house, which is owned by Dartmouth. We have a house that is university owned. We have always lived here. 19 sisters can live there.
