There are 6 established Panhellenic Sororities, including Kappa, with Alpha Phi chosen to join at the end of 2011. There are 5 Male Fraternities, with Beta Theta Pi joining the community in Fall 2011. Academically, Creighton is the top ranked Jesuit School in the Midwest. A small campus size allows for a close-knit community where all student organizations support each other. '''Chapter:''' Starting from 44 charter members only 6 years ago it is amazing to see that our chapter has grown so much. Involvement in and out of Kappa makes for a rich diversity in our chapter. Many leaders in and out of council lead us on as we are still changing, adapting, and setting traditions for future Kappas. Alumna Involvement: Inviting a different adviser or alumn to attend chapter each week with introductions each week. Inviting alumna to help facilitate and answer questions for programming nights. Campus Image and Involvement: Encouraging girls to tell the chapter about upcoming events on campus during the "new business" portion of chapter each week. Selecting girls to make teams for other greek organization's philanthropy events. Making sure girls wear their letters as much as possible, especially on special weeks like Recruitment and Inspiration week and on Wednesdays. Simply by saying hello to sisters when you see them helps as well. Chapter Unity/Sisterhood: Planning more non-mandatory events, like stay in Saturdays. More of an emphasis on planning non-mandotory events between two different classes, that way girls get to meet and become close to all chapter members. Also, making mandatory events more fun by doing things like going to a movie instead of chapter helps girls to hang out and have fun with one another. ==Highlights of 2012==
