This year Kappa has striven to commit to sisterhood and participation. We have worked on making chapter meetings more fun and informative by starting history blurbs and study tips along with our usual supportive sister award and snaps to acknowledge those who have been a blessing throughout the week. This year we were also delighted to receive the Kappa Heritage award. This year Eta Alpha has continued to work on sisterhood and communal participation. Academic excellence has also been a focus with more study halls and a presentation on helpful study techniques. Due to changes in the recruitment process, our sisters have worked hard to prepare a meaningful and fun experience for our new members. Overall we are continuing to strive to support each other and our community. We are excited to see what the next year brings!
==Highlights of 2017==
The 2017 year has been filled with many success for our sisterhood. In the spring, we had a successful rush and welcomed 19 beautiful new members. We raised our cumulative GPA so that we now have the 4th highest our of all of the sororities. Eight sisters earned 4.0 for the semester. Our true accomplishment of the year was winning homecoming with our partners Kappa Delta and Beta Theta Pi. The overall theme was “A Land before Furman” and our theme was Pirates. Our sisterhood came together and worked hard in each event. Our hard work and dedication was rewarded, as we came in first in skits and first overall. This boosted moral, encouraged sisterhood unity, and showed what we can achieve if we work together a whole. The Event Committee put on four dances this past year: Kappa Constellation Crush, Formal, Rave, and Kappa Kingsmen Semi. We also held successful study halls including an all day study hall with Chick Fil A and pizza during finals week in the sprig and in the fall. However, sisterhood reached beyond the boundaries of Furman’s campus, and sisters went apple picking at Sky Top orchard in North Carolina. One interesting factoid: our incoming President Jessica Greene has two twin sisters, and they have both joined Kappa this year - one at Oklahoma University and the other at the University of Georgia!
