The Early Years
Gamma Nu Chapter officially began on April 9, 1925, when 15 eager young women were initiated by Georgia Hayden Lloyd-Jones, Eta—Wisconsin, then Director of Provinces. Installation in Fayetteville, in the heart of the Ozark Mountains, was unique in that apple blossoms were used instead of more formal flowers.
Gamma Nu was the outgrowth of a local sorority founded April 14, 1916, for the purpose of developing friendships among girls of similar aims and ideals.
An installation processional honoring the chapter was composed by its good friend Dr. Henry Tovey, head of the fine arts department on campus. This gave an ever-to-be-remembered distinction to the occasion. The music was played by Dr. Tovey from an advantageous but secluded spot at both the Installation and Initiation ceremonies.
Rush in the fall of 1925 was a busy and exciting experience with Kappas eagerly meeting every train to escort “rushees” to the nearby campus. Highlights that year included winning first place in scholarship. The Kappa float also received the top award in the Homecoming parade.
Housing
The chapter house has had five different locations. In 1930, when the present site was purchased, remodeling began, converting a nondescript 10-room house into a structure with Colonial façade and housing 18 girls. By 1940, as the need for more space was felt, the house was enlarged to accommodate 40 members. A large three-story wing, which included a new kitchen, dining room and bedroom-bath area, was added to the original structure in 1956. This house, which had been painted gray and was fondly referred to as “Old Gray,” accommodated 75 girls, and was always filled to overflowing. Finally, it was admitted that “Old Gray” had outlived its usefulness. In 1964, the house was torn down, except for the 1956 wing. This provided space for the beautiful white colonial mansion that graces the grounds today. This three-story, traditional white brick building, trimmed with charcoal grey shutters, houses 75 members comfortably.
WWII Years
During World War II, Gamma Nu initiated the first supportive movement on campus by investing money in defense stamps rather than house decorations. Each girl chipped in to buy a bond, and the entire chapter was signed up to roll Red Cross bandages. Gamma Nu raised $7,800 in the 1944–45 War Loan Drive, three times the quota set for the whole campus.
Scholarship
Kappa’s scholarship record has long been excellent. In spring 1951, Gamma Nu made the highest GPA ever achieved by an organized house. Scholarship rivalry usually centered around Kappa and Chi Omega, whose mother chapter is at this university. In 1962, Gamma Nu again brought home the scholarship trophy, which had been in Chi Omega territory for 13 consecutive semesters. The spring scholarship banquet, at which dinners descend from steak, chicken, hamburger, to beans for the lowest grade point, was an annual tradition.
Traditions and Honors
Since 1956, there has been a “Granny” Gamma Nu legend. Granny is a rather portly old gal who appears twice a year at the strangest times to announce the Initiation date to new members. Her presence is always a complete surprise to everyone, new members and actives alike. Granny is really an active dressed in some outlandish garb, which, when not in use, is hidden away in a dark, mysterious closet of the chapter room.
Gamma Nu has received the Gracious Living award several times at Fraternity Conventions. Credit was due to the much-loved Ms. Jennings, House Director from 1947–62. Her pleasing personality and gracious manner were drawing cards to friends, dates, the girls and to everyone she met. Gamma Nus have continued to live up to the high standards set by earlier members. All told, the chapter has produced (prior to 1975) 25 members in Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities, 32 in Mortar Board, and six in Phi Beta Kappa. Kappa scholars from this chapter were on the General Electric TV College Bowl team and the A and M College Bowl team. There have been many Homecoming Maids and at least one queen. There have been four Miss University of Arkansas winners and one Miss Arkansas. The Kappas have claimed two out of three Miss Sorority Pledge Queens. Gamma Nus have been active as cheerleaders, Associated Women Students officers, Panhellenic officers, majorettes, and student body senators and officers.
Deferred rush, meaning that girls do not pledge until they are at least sophomores, started in 1950 and was re-evaluated in the 1970s. Kappa, Pi Beta Phi, Tri Delta and Chi Omega largely dominated the campus activities. With the help of the outstanding girls who continue to be pledged, Gamma Nu, with its ideals and traditions, will continue to prosper.

Highlights of the 1980s
The house did not have air conditioning, making Rush (now Recruitment) terribly HOT. Gamma Nu alumnae say they remember everyone gathered at the house in front of the TV waiting to see the release of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” music video, doing Jane Fonda workouts in the formal living room, and watching General Hospital. There were formal lunches on Sundays where everyone brought friends and/or boyfriends to eat at the house after church. During these days, the freshman pledge class would chase “Granny” to find out the day and time of Initiation. Bill Clinton was elected Governor of Arkansas and he beat Governor White, whose daughter was a Kappa at the time.
Gamma Nu was removed from a “period of concern” and the chapter was thriving in many areas. The chapter hosted Province Meeting in February and took home the Most-Improved Chapter Award. When members returned to school in the fall, the house had been redecorated and 30 new members were pledged. The chapter was ranked 5th in grades and worked closely with Chapter Consultant Rene Hedges to improve in all areas of chapter life. The chapter philanthropy was Run for Your Lungs to benefit the Oregon Lung Association. Plans were in the works for a new philanthropy, Balloon Derby, to increase interaction and visibility on the campus. Other philanthropic involvement included an Easter egg hunt for The Children’s House, a local nonprofit agency.

Quota was 47 and chapter total was 135. Gamma Nu finally achieved first in GPA.
Chapter members collected canned goods and donated clothing for the needy and planned an Easter egg hunt for children.
Fall Recruitment resulted in 44 new members. The fall term was full of pep-rallies, brunches, a Founders Day banquet and Halloween activities followed by the traditional Christmas formal before everyone buckled down to study for finals. After the three-week holiday break, a sisterhood event was held at Showbiz Pizza followed by spring formal in February. Before long, “Granny” came to the house to announce that new members would be initiated on February 18. Many alumnae from surrounding areas attended Initiation, making it even more special. Other spring plans included Monmouth Duo, Senior Weekend and the annual scholarship banquet.
The chapter fell from first place in scholarship to third, so a goal was set to increase study hours to regain their top ranking. Thirteen members attended the Province Meeting in Stillwater, taking home the Jean Berry Award for Outstanding Panhellenic Involvement and the Outstanding Membership Award. Members to continue to be leaders on campus, representing Kappa in numerous activities from Razorback pom squad and cheerleading to Greek Week committee and Judicial Board, as well as countless honor societies and clubs.

The annual “Lock and Key” date party was enjoyed and shortly after, Monmouth Duo as well. The spring GPA was 3.08. Philanthropy events included the annual Easter egg hunt with Head Start and donating money to multiple sclerosis research and the Arkansas Children’s Hospital. The chapter also adopted a section of a highway near campus to clean three times per year. On February 23, five chapter members traveled to Oklahoma University for Xi Province Meeting.

Winter formal and “Granny’s” announcement of Initiation were highlights of 1993 when 39 new members were initiated. The annual date party with Pi Beta Phi and winning the Sigma Nu Relays were events to remember as well. Actives received many honors including a recipient of the Razorback Classic award for leadership and campus involvement, and one member of the homecoming court. Several actives were on the cheerleading squad and two were majorettes.
Forty new members were pledged and a new event called Boot Scootin’ Barn Bash was enjoyed with Kappa Delta sorority. High scholarship and increased attendance and participation in chapter and campus activities continued to be priorities. Chapter members participated in Make a Difference Day where nearly 400 University of Arkansas students spread out through the community to volunteer for different nonprofit agencies as well as homes of elderly residents. One elderly home owner said that seeing the Kappas clean her yard helped restore her faith in future generations. Trick-or-Treat on Sorority Row was again a popular event as was the Founders Day banquet and new member Christmas program. The Gamma Nu Pickers performed at a nursing home and some fraternity houses.

A New Millennium - Highlights of 2000-2010
The Gamma Nus had a successful Recruitment with 74 new members receiving invitations to join the Kappa family. With such a large pledge class, it was crucial for Chapter Council to find ways to help build unity within the new member class and the chapter. In order to achieve this, the New Member Chairman asked Kore groups to participate in three activities with their families: university, philanthropic and Kappa-related. This helped the Kappas to bond not only with their key sis but also with other sisters from each pledge class.
After coming in 2nd place for grade point average by 0.02 points for the spring 2005, Gamma Nu set a goal to once again reign as the top academic chapter. After keeping a close eye on study hall hours and using informative programs in chapter, the Gamma Nus achieved their goal by ranking 1st place in grade point average for fall 2005.
During Homecoming, Kappas were busy preparing for the Alpha Kappa Alpha Unity step show. Their performance was a great representation of Kappa Kappa Gamma. Their devotion and excitement with the blood drive, talent show, fan, float and yard competitions during Homecoming Week helped them earn 3rd place among other sororities and fraternities. The Gamma Nu delegate for the annual Pledge Queen competition represented Kappa with grace and poise winning 2nd-Runner-Up. Sigma Chi Derby Days, in which sororities compete in food and blood drives and field events, was won by the Kappas. In addition, the prestigious Order of Omega organization awards the distinguished Award of Excellence annually. Once again, the Gamma Nu chapter was an excited recipient.
Gamma Nu upholds its honored reputation for academic excellence, school-wide involvement, and high standards. The respected reputation of Gamma Nu earn can be attributed to its members’ involvement in more than 40 university-wide student organizations.
Gamma Nu members excelled in many areas of campus and Greek life, receiving 2nd place in Homecoming activities, which included making a float for the city-wide parade, a lawn decoration competion between all the Greek chapters on campus, and a campus-wide blood drive. Gamma Nu also took 3rd place in the Alpha Kappa Alpha Annual Unity Step Show. The girls who participated in Step Show spent countless hours each day preparing for their performance. In the annual Lambda Chi Alpha Pledge Queen Pageant, Gamma Nu’s representative proudly took 1st place. Gamma Nu continued to hold the coveted position of the sorority with the highest GPA for the year, 3.257. Gamma Nu’s Chapter Council set these goals for the school year: Improvement in ritual songs, communication throughout all pledge classes, campus involvement as a unified body, philanthropy, attendance at chapter and campus events, new member understanding of standards, respect for officers, Kappa tradition and history, enthusiasm, bonding between pledge classes, house appearance/cleanliness, new member program and committees. To work on these improvements throughout the year, Gamma Nu held workshops and ritual review was done multiple times. Members were encouraged to meet in large groups at the house before attending a campus-wide activity so that there would be a higher number of attendance and the members would be able to spend more time getting to know one another.
During the 2007 Homecoming activities, Kappas placed 1st in the cook-off, 2nd in the banner competition, and 1st in lawn, float, rowdy fan, and pep rally competitions. Kappas received 1st place in the overall competition against other sororities and fraternities. The Lambda Chi fraternity hosts the Pumpkin Bust in which sororities compete in food drives and field events. Kappas donated 20,000 cans to the food drive and placed in every field event, winning 1st place in the overall competition.
Within Gamma Nu chapter, the term “Kappa Lady” is frequently referenced. With high levels of respect for fellow members and themselves, Kappas uphold the values and goals that the Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity has established. Members are well aware of what is expected by such committees as Standards and Scholarship because of workshops and continued referencing. Gamma Nu gained 74 new members. The entire chapter participated with them in pep rallies and other events to show the new members that Gamma Nu is a close-knit family. Another sisterhood event is the new-member retreat when the freshman new member class goes camping.
Once again, Gamma Nu was an excited recipient of the highest grade point average for spring 2008. Gamma Nu was also involved in the Kappa Sigma relay races to help support Mothers Against Drinking and Driving. We placed first, knowing that our contributions went to a great cause. We also participated in two Phi Gamma Delta events, where we both placed first. The first event was a three-on-three basketball tournament and the second was the Carol of the Greeks competition where the money raised went to their philanthropy. We also participated and placed second in the Greek Sing competition. We participated in Greek Summit, a workshop for all of Greek Life, and Gamma Nu was well represented.
During 2008, Gamma Nus made our involvement well known on campus, placing second in the University of Arkansas Homecoming Week and regaining the first-place title at the Lambda Chi Alpha Watermelon Bust. We participated in the Miss University of Arkansas pageant, and our two-time participant was awarded Miss Congeniality and Highest G.P.A. During Sigma Chi Derby Days, Kappas raised money and participated in field events. After a week of competition, we placed second.
Gamma Nu had a successful Recruitment resulting in 82 new members. We participated in monthly activities with our families. The new members not only participated in their families, but also in groups within their pledge class.
Gamma Nu was honored and excited to host Xi Province Meeting. Kappa Kappa Gamma active members and alumnae from the Province stayed at the Embassy Suites in Rogers, Ark., and were bussed to the Kappa House on the University of Arkansas campus to learn more about Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity, the Gamma Nu chapter, and to engage with other Kappa sisters with whom they shared an immediate bond. The Gamma Nus gave a tour of the house, provided lunch, shared Recruitment videos, and exchanged ideas about ways to better Kappa Kappa Gamma members. The Northwest Alumnae Association was crucial in the planning and execution of this privileged event.
The ladies of Gamma Nu have a distinguished reputation for their academic excellence, campus involvement, and high moral standards. Members of Kappa Kappa Gamma participate in numerous registered student organizations, while still excelling academically. This was proven by having the highest GPA in the 2009 fall semester.
The Kappas won the Panhellenic Council Fall 2009 Academic Excellence Award as well as the Panhellenic Council Outstanding Community Service Award. Also our President won Most Outstanding Panhellenic President out of the eight sororities.
During the 2009 homecoming, Kappas were active throughout the week. Preparing for the Alpha Kappa Alpha Unity Step Show kept Gamma Nu members very busy as did collecting cans for Lambda Chi Alpha’s philanthropy. The hard work payed off as the The Gamma Nus placed first for the third year in a row in Watermelon Bust! Gamma Nu’s 2009 pledge queen showed remarkable poise and talent while capturing the first place spot and the hearts of the audience!
Three Gamma Nu members participated in the Miss University of Arkansas pageant and one of our sisters won Miss Congeniality. In addition, the Gamma Nus were awarded the prestigious the Award of Excellence by Order of Omega. The Gamma Nu chapter was an excited recipient of the highest grade point average for the Fall 2009. Gamma Nu was also involved in the Kappa Sigma relay races to help support the Mothers Against Drinking and Driving. We placed second, knowing that our contributions went to a very great cause. The members of the Gamma Nu were thrilled to win the Pep Rally award for the second consecutive year and they were excited to place first in the first-ever “Pi Challenge” hosted Alpha Omicron Pi and Sigma Pi, which raised money for their philanthropies. The hard work preparing for Greek sing was rewarded by a first place trophy. Recruitment resulted in 84 new members, the largest pledge class to date on the University of Arkansas campus. The newly pledged Kappas were divided into groups and asked to spend time getting to know their sisters through various outings. The upperclass Kappas were encouraged to spend quality time with their key sisters.
The Gamma Nu House Board joined the actives for Founders Day dinner. To accommodate all of the actives (as well as the 104 new members!) it was held in the Town Center banquet hall on The Square, and our own Chef Jon prepared the meal. All of the girls wore their blue dresses. “The girls had everything planned perfectly. … These young ladies never cease to amaze me with their knowledge, skills, professionalism and enthusiasm,” says one House Board member.
This was the first year without the Alpha Kappa Alpha Unity step show. Kappa still had great devotion and excitement for the blood drive, float and lawn decorations. Kappa participated in the Greek sing and Nelly was the theme. All of the practicing paid off as we won first place! Kappa also took first place in the talent show. At the Miss University of Arkansas pageant, a Gamma Nu won Miss Congeniality. At the annual homecoming pep-rally, Gamma Nus rejoiced at the announcement that one of our own was the 2010 Homecoming Queen.
Kappa collected 20,000 canned goods for Lambda Chi Alpha’s philanthropy. All of the hard work of collecting and transporting cans paid off as the Gamma Nus won first place in cans for the fifth year in a row! Our Philanthropy Chairman started a new fundraiser called Kappa Klassic, a golf tournament that raised around $4,000. With a successful Recruitment, Kappa made history with the initiation of 104 new Gamma Nu members.
In the spring, “Reading Railroad” was put on in a local elementary school for kindergarteners. All 80 students received a passport to get stamped at each stop along the Reading Railroad. The first stop was a jungle theme and Where the Wild Things Are was read aloud. Afterward, the students made scary monster masks. The next stop was an ocean theme where The Rainbow Fish was read and the students designed rainbow fish. At the next station, There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly was read aloud by an active dressed as an old lady, wig and all! After the book was read, the students played musical chairs to the songs corresponding to the book. The winner of the game won a book lamp to take home with his/her books.
The last station, and the most important, was “Seussville.” The Cat in the Hat greeted the students and they each had their picture taken with him. After the Cat in the Hat was read, students got to pick three books to take home. Many of the students had parents who did not speak English so we were able to provide bilingual books for those students. The looks on the children’s faces when they found out that would be given three books was something that will always be imprinted on our hearts.
This school year, we started “Kappa Acts of Kindness.” A few members would volunteer to pass out lemonade during the summer, hot chocolate in the cold weather and Halloween candy for the season. Another Panhellenic activity, held with Alpha Delta Phi, was called March McMaddness. The event raised money for our philanthropy by selling hamburgers and hotdogs. Anyone could attend for $5 and we set up tents with tables and chairs for attendees to watch basketball games on a big screen TV on the Kappa lawn.
The main goal this year was to keep Gamma Nu traditions going for the 104 new members. While there is great excitement with every new member, the growing membership has made unity and living space a challenge. Formal chapter meetings at the house are cramped, so the House Board has decided to remodel our house as soon as they raise enough money.
To make sure that there were activities to reach out to each girl during initiation week, the New Member Chairman and Marshal created a theme with a different pledge class each night. Also the girls got to spend time with their key sis. Chapter Council decided to start having non-formal chapter meetings on campus in an auditorium classroom. This made chapter meetings more comfortable and efficient.
