'''Gamma Alpha, Kansas State University (formerly Kansas State Agricultural College), established in 1863, Manhattan, Kansas'''
We are so thankful for the moments this year brought, the ability to slow down and appreciate the time we have, and the people who helped support our chapter to thrive in such a difficult time. We are so excited for another year of memories at 517 Fairchild Terrace.
Gamma Alpha supports Reading is Fundamental for our philanthropy. We believe in strengthening and empowering the youth to pursure their education and learn a love of reading. Our chapter stands by the belief that you have to learn to read in order to read to learn. We love working with young students while they pursure their education and being there beside the next generation of our society. RIF is a wonderful and powerful organization that gives us so many opportunities to do just that and give back to the community. We are so grateful for the education we all have received and are continuing to receive and love giving back to the next generation of leaders and life long learners.
This year, Gamma Alpha was very active and aware of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. We encouraged respectful and open conversations about DEI. Chapter Council decided to implement a new Diversity, Equity and Inclusion position in the 2021 calendar year when we could have more discussion about what this position would look like and what we would expect of it.
Due to Covid-19 guidelines and the safety of the women living in the Kappa house, our Founder’s Day and 150th anniversary celebration were held over zoom. It was encouraged for women to come to the Kappa house and have cookies and cider and conversations, if one felt comfortable, about Kappa’s history and legacy that was left for us from alumni. A fun “What Kappa Founder Are You” quiz was created to dwell and learn just a little bit about the founding Kappa’s and their personalities. It was a fun way to learn about their lives and how we are all still so connected and alike even 150 years apart.
