==Highlights of 2011==
The year 2011 proved to be successful for Gamma Rho. The chapter started off the year by pledging 19 new sisters in formal recruitment. The pledge class completed its pledge period and was initiated. Soon after recruitment, our chapter participated in SAMS (Students Against Multiple Sclerosis) and won the award for most money raised out of all of the organizations on campus who participated.
In February, Gamma Rho held its Valentine's Day fundraiser called Kappa Kisses. The sisters sold Hershey kisses and spiced up the sale by also selling "songs." Any member of the Allegheny community could purchase a song for a friend, and the sisters of Kappa would publicly serenade them. For St. Patrick's Day, Gamma Rho sold bags of Skittles, which went very well. In an effort to revitalize the Reading Is Key event, the sisters of Gamma Rho brainstormed and decided to launch a campus-wide talent show. Both Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Kappa hosted the show, raising money for Reading is Fundamental and showcasing some excellent talent in the Greek and college communities. In addition, the sisters of Gamma Rho will continue to work with Head Start, an integral part of Meadville's elementary school, and will host the Active Aging service mixer with Kappa Alpha Theta. Phi Kappa Psi and the Gamma Rho members will again team up for a sports fundraising event in the late fall. Gamma Rho hopes to continue to develop the passion and dedication to both Reading is Fundamental and the Rose McGill Fund. The upcoming semester will be especially important in advancing Kappa’s education and efforts toward philanthropy.
==Highlights of 2012==
The Gamma Rho chapter at Allegheny College proved to have an eventful and very much beneficial year in 2012. We started off the Spring semester by gaining seventeen wonderful new sisters. Our new members participated in SAMS (Students Against Multiple Sclerosis) by performing a dance/lip-singing competition and we raised the most money again! As Valentines Day rolled around we launched our annual Kappa Kisses were we sell candy packages and songgrams to the students and faculty of our campus, all profits were contributed to the Rose McGill Fund.
We then had our annual Saphire Ball in which everyone had an enjoyable time to keep us going through the semester. Then along came our big philanthropy event of the semester: the "Do It For the Kids" Talent Show hosted by KKG and SAE. We received many acts of all sorts that attracted a wide variety of the campus to support our two philanthropies, while enjoying a night of quality talent. When we came back for the Fall semester we gained four new sisters that made great contributions to our chapter. To kick off the semester we held our first RIF event of the semester on a Saturday where we stuffed the envelopes that were being sent out in the Pittsburgh area raising awareness and gaining support for Reading is Fundamental.
We held a Fall Formal around Halloween that allowed all of the sisters to enjoy a nice evening together. Finally, when the semester began to wind down we held an event with Alpha Chi Omega, called "Alpha Chais and Kappacinos" where we provided free coffee and donuts to our peers while studying hard for all of their finals. We established fun and unique sisterhood events each month sometimes including other sororities on campus some of which included movie nights, cupcake decorating, and philanthropy work. In addition, our Chapter Council has implemented a round robin letter describing what our chapter's plans are each month that is sent to our advisors. Our goals are focused on forming better connections with advisors and utilizing their skills to further the strength of Gamma Rho.
This year Phi Gamma Delta was brought back to Allegheny's campus where we helped in the process of nominating their founding fathers and then all headed out for "A Night With the FIJIs" to welcome them to Greek life. Our chapter has seen a very beneficial improvement in the running of chapter council and the organization of our chapter overall. We wrapped up the Fall semester having successfully elected our new chapter council and preaping for the transition. As a chapter, we set some goals to follow the bilaws more effectively and have made some changes to things that have since completely improved. With the new year ahead we see ourselves opening up new doors and pushing Gamma Rho to reach it's full potential.
==Highlights of 2013==
The Gamma Rho chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma began their 2013 spring semester by welcoming twenty beautiful new members into their home. Shortly after, the new member pledge class participated in a campus-wide philanthropic event, SAMS (Students Against Multiple Sclerosis), a lip-synching competition that raises money and awareness for those suffering with Multiple Sclerosis. Gamma Rho successfully raised the most money for this noteworthy cause.
In addition to SAMS, Gamma Rho’s members worked to raise money for the Rose McGill Fund through their annual Kappa Kisses and Song-grams event. Students had the opportunity to purchase either a delicious Valentine’s Day treat or an entertaining song-gram for another lucky individual. Along with this holiday event, the Gamma Rho chapter made great strides with their local philanthropy, Head Start of Meadville, PA. Every week, sisters volunteered at Head Start in order to read to children, clean toys, and tag books, along with many other tasks. Through much hard work and endless effort, Kappa was able to raise enough money to bring back a Book of the Month club at Head Start. Every month, each child at Head start received a book in order to encourage their interest in reading. Having the opportunity to implement a literacy program at Head Start has meant so much to us, considering the parallel that it has with our national philanthropy, Reading is Fundamental. In April, along with the Phi Delta Theta fraternity, Kappa worked arduously to promote our main philanthropic event: ‘Do it For the Kids’ talent show! After a night filled with great performances, Kappa and its co-sponsor raised over $1300 for their respective philanthropies. Kappa also joined with another sorority on campus, Alpha Chi Omega, to provide students with light refreshments during finals. Our mini-event, Alpha Chai’s and Kappachinos, put a smile on many faces while finals week drudged on.
In addition to our many philanthropic endeavors, the sisters of Kappa worked endlessly to promote academic excellence within our chapter. Every month, sisters were constantly encouraged to log their study hours and gather for group study sessions to maintain productivity and time management. Worksheets were created to help implement stronger organizational skills in order to aid with procrastination and other unfavorable study habits. After a semester of tough academic schedules, three members of Gamma Rho achieved a 4.0 grade point average. We couldn’t be more proud of their accomplishments! Furthermore, the chapter’s suite on the fourth floor of Brooks underwent major renovations over the previous year. Painted a lovely pale blue, filled with new furniture and an owl figurine, the newly renovated suite projects an air of optimism and happiness throughout every chapter meeting and sisterhood event.
Our alumni-relations grew much stronger over the past few months. In an effort to reestablish correspondence between alumnae and active members, a pen-pal program was created. Through this program, active members were able to connect and create lasting relationships with past sisters of Gamma Rho. Along with the pen-pal program, our Alumni Chair challenged each member to trace her respective key family back through time. Through this investigation, the sisters of Gamma Rho were able to successfully identify members of their key-family from over a decade ago! The largest alumni-relations event of the year, however, was Gamma Rho Chapter’s 125th anniversary celebration. On October 19th, 2013, the active members of Gamma Rho invited dozens of alumnae back to Allegheny’s Campus to celebrate 125 years of sisterhood. Much preparation was done in order to pull off this spectacular event. Each sister wrote letters to alumni informing them of the event and of their excitement and eagerness to welcome them back onto campus. Centerpieces were crafted to create a warm and peaceful atmosphere during the luncheon. An entertaining skit was composed to remind alumnae of traditional Gamma Rho stories and events. A ritual review session was conducted for all of the alumnae and active members. And lastly, the alumnae were treated to a special rendition of “O, Pat!” in an effort to recreate their very own run-out day. The celebration was a giant success, and everyone, both active members and alumnae, left with a renewal of their Kappa pride and spirit.
The Gamma Rho chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma constantly strives to support the philanthropic efforts of other fraternities, sororities, and campus-wide organizations. It seeks to exude a positive image of Greek Life every single day, and it always yearns to search for new ways to promote a Panhellenic atmosphere on campus. Lately, Greek life at Allegheny has been confronted with the issue of inclusivity. As a result, the fraternities and sororities at Allegheny have been taking the necessary strides to learn about the concerns presented by students on campus in order to create a more inclusive Greek life community. The Gamma Rho chapter has gone through much advancement over the past year, and I am so proud to have had the opportunity to witness these positive changes. Although Gamma Rho has already improved many aspects of its foundational elements, the active members continue to explore their opportunities to strengthen their chapter even further. I cannot wait to see where we end up next year.
==Highlights of 2014==
We are Kappa’s, and now more than ever we are involved! No matter what activity, club or class you find yourself in on campus there is a high possibility that you will see one of our sisters there too. Our chapter morale has reached a record high throughout this year. Together as a chapter many of us see the importance of working together and being proud of the group of girls that are in Kappa with us. Our friendship and support for one another is clearly evident to people on our campus.
One way that we help each other out as sisters is through academic support. Because we are busy and Allegheny academics can be challenging we try to support and congratulate our sisters when they achieve something great. Each week during chapter we nominate a “wise owl”. A wise owl is a member in the chapter that should be recognized for achieving something great academically. We also have study hours in our library several times a week. Many of our sisters spend time together studying for exams. We also hold each other accountable for going to class too! Academic support is important to us, we love to see our sisters succeed.
An accomplishment that we are proud of this year were our two awards that we won during Greek Week. Greek Week is a friendly competition between Greek life that lasts throughout the course of a week. Every day there is a new competition that takes place. Throughout the week the organizations earn points for winning the challenges. Our sister’s preformed a circus themed Greek Sing with songs from Britney Spears, Katy Perry and other artists. We were delighted when we were awarded first place in Greek Sing. We also won the title as over-all Greek Week Sorority Champions. During the Greek Awards this year we were nominated and won “Breakout Chapter of the Year”.
This year was filled with many philanthropy events. We continued to host our usual events and even managed to throw in a few new ones. In the spring we started our philanthropic year by selling Kappa Kisses and Song Grams for the Rose McGill Fund. In March we won the award of most money raised for the annual SAMS (Students against Multiple Sclerosis) competition. A few weeks after SAMS, Kappa Alpha Theta asked us to co-host an open mic night with them in Grounds for Change. Together we raised money for the Panhellenic Emergency Grant. Many of our sisters also participate in Up Till Dawn. This is a special night that happens once a year where members of Allegheny Community individually raise $100 each to benefit St. Jude. The night is full of games, and snacks. Because some of our sisters are especially great at baking cookies and treats we decided to hold our own bake sale in the Campus Center. The money that we had raised from the bake sell was put towards our national philanthropy RIF. When the weather started to warm up Kappa participated in Relay for Life. All along the stretch of Brooks-Walk many organizations set up tables with games and activities for the members of the Meadville community to play. The money received from Relay for Life helps fund Cancer research.
Instead of just pairing exclusively with other Greek organizations, this year we reached out to other groups on campus to help us host events. Together with GAP we hosted a car smash. A large van was donated to us and students paid to hit and smash the van. The money raised from this event went towards the Children’s Miracle Network. In the future we anticipate co-hosting events with the clubs and groups that we have on our campus.
We started out our fall semester by hosted a kickball tournament with Phi Kappa Psi. It was frigidly cold outside at Robinson Field but the turnout was fantastic and we raised a significant amount of money for the Crawford County Humane Society.
Our local philanthropy is still Headstart. Every week our sisters make visits to see the children. We play, read, and learn with them. This year we hosted the very first Holiday Party with Headstart. We invited the children and their families to come to Allegheny’s Campus and celebrate the Winter Holidays with us. There was even a special appearance from Santa and his favorite reindeer Rudolph. Each child was given a toy to take home with them. It was such a great experience for everyone.
This year we have continued working hard to improve our communication with our Gamma Rho alumni and our advisors. Many of our active sisters are still pen-pals with alumni. This year we celebrated our 126th anniversary on this campus. It’s important that we keep in contact with the sisters that have been here before us. We have such valuable networking through our alumni. We want them to know that we care about keeping them informed and included in our chapter still today. Along with improving alumni connections we want to increase our knowledge about the history of our chapter. Every week we share fun things that we find in our archives and pass them around for the sisters to read during chapter. There are many pictures and notes that show the loyalty and sisterhood that has been on our campus for so long.
Over the past year our chapter grew together very close. It is awesome to watch us improve as individuals and together as sisters. This upcoming year I anticipate to see many great things from the Gamma Rho chapter.
Our campus has really been striving to be more diverse. We support this too!
We hold meetings in our suite. It is on the fourth floor of a dorm building (Brooks Hall). We have been holding meetings in the suite for many years. It was just re-done last year. None of our sisters are able to live in the suite. But several of our sisters live on the fourth floor of Brooks, which is reserved specifically for women of greek life.
==Highlights of 2015==
The Gamma Rho chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma began their 2015 spring semester by welcoming fifteen new members into their sisterhood. Following Bid Day 2015, the new pledge class participated in a campus-wide philanthropic event, SAMS (Student Against Multiple Sclerosis), a lip-syncing competition that raises money and awareness for those suffering with Multiple Sclerosis. Gamma Rho’s newest members received an award for the most money raised.
During Valentine’s Day, sisters participated in an event that raised money for the Rose McGill Fund. This annual event, Kappa Kisses and Song-grams, is an event where students purchase a treat or a song-gram for another individual. The treats are then delivered to the individuals campus mailbox and sisters publicly perform song-grams for the intended recipients.
Throughout the semester, we held many events to support our national philanthropy, Reading is Fundamental (RIF). In the spring, Kappa joined another sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta, to hold an open mic night. During the event, we collected donations to give to our respective philanthropies. A special guest singer from The Voice, Chris Jamison, made an appearance.
Gamma Rho also held a Prince and Princess Party to support RIF where children could dress up as either princes or princesses. Sisters dressed up as Disney princesses so the children could take pictures.
During the fall semester 2015, Kappa held a Trend Tribe jewelry party. It allowed ladies from across the campus to enjoy an evening of shopping and treats. A portion of the proceeds were donated to RIF. Also during the fall, Kappa partnered with a fraternity, Phi Kappa Psi, to hold our third annual kickball tournament. The event was very successful and a portion of the proceeds was donated to our respective philanthropies.
Throughout the Fall semester, sisters volunteered monthly at the local Head Start in Meadville, PA. It is a wonderful opportunity to promote literacy in our local community. In December, the sisters hosted a holiday party for the children at Head Start. The afternoon included sisters dressed up as holiday characters and an enjoyable afternoon of reading, games, and laughter.
In addition to hosting various philanthropic events throughout the semester, our chapter strives to achieve academic excellence. Every month, sisters are encouraged to log their study hours and meet with their study buddies. As an incentive to maintain good study habits and grades, sisters are rewarded with fun stickers and decals. All study hours are logged on an Excel spreadsheet to keep an organized record. During the semester, sisters gathered for a stress-free night of fitness. The fitness class provided sisters with a time of energy boosting and relaxation before getting back to their studies.
It was very important to our chapter that we maintain a relationship with our alumnae. Each sister was given a pen-pal to contact and keep in-touch with throughout the semester.
In 2015, Allegheny College celebrated its Bicentennial. For this celebration, alumnae were invited back in May to see the college and the sorority suite. The alumnae were given the opportunity to look through scrapbooks full of memories, and reunite with some of their sisters.
Gamma Rho constantly strives to support the philanthropic efforts of other fraternities, sororities, and campus-wide organizations. After Kappa Kappa Gamma paired with the White House “It’s On Us” campaign, the Gamma Rho chapter decided to partner with other sororities on campus to promote awareness of the Red Zone. During this event, Kappa and other sororities raised awareness for the Red Zone by informing students that the first six weeks of the semester is the time when sexual assault most likely occurs. In relation to the Red Zone, Gamma Rho wanted to educate its members even further on sexual assault and sexual violence. The chapter invited a speaker from Women’s Services to present on the dynamics of abuse and interpersonal violence with an emphasis on personal safety.
In addition to the Red Zone, sisters participated in National Hazing Prevention campaign. Many sisters took pledges by writing why hazing should not occur. Overall, Gamma Rho strives to ‘kick hazing to the fleur’ because we love our sisterhood; we will always ensure that the strong support system of our chapter stays intact.
==Highlights of 2016==
The Gamma Rho chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma began their 2016 year by welcoming 14 wonderful new members into their sisterhood in late January. KKG loves to spread positivity and sisterhood throughout campus and the community. At the end of October, Kappa handed out Kappa Koko to students as they were heading to class in the morning as a bright way to start their day. Kappa also celebrated with their role models and loved ones at their Special Persons Brunch in our Alumni Center. At the brunch, sisters shared the achievements of the chapter. Kappa had a blast participating in Allegheny’s annual Greek Week this past fall, placing second overall for the whole week. The highlight, though, was being crowned Greek Sing champions with the unique theme, zombie apocalypse. In November, KKG honored some of their favorite professors at a coffee hour. For every professor that attended, one of the sisters wrote a little blurb about that professor for them to read. It was a fantastic way for the chapter to honor some of their favorite professors. Additionally, KKG strives to support the philanthropies of the other sororities, fraternities, and campus-wide organizations as much as possible. You can always find a group of sisters at almost every fundraiser on campus.
Gamma Rho also has a strong focus on academics, and strives to better itself each year. This past year, Kappa’s average GPA was once again higher than the all-college GPA, something the chapter prides itself on. Sisters have numerous ways they stay on top of academics, such as studying with each other, and taking a snapchat to send to a member of the education committee. As an incentive to get and maintain good grades, girls can submit good grades to the VPAE and receive fun stickers and decals. Finally, before tackling finals, sisters participated in a programming event about stress-relief.
Throughout 2016, the sisters of Kappa Kappa Gamma have been extremely busy with various philanthropic and sisterhood events. Through these events, the chapter has not only become an even more friendly face on Allegheny’s campus, but has also strengthened its sisterhood.
'''Chapter Philanthropy:'''
One of the chapter’s favorite new memeber traditions is participating in a lip-syncing competition with other sororities and fraternities on campus entitled SAMS (Students Against Multiple Sclerosis). At the beginning of February, sisters sold Kappa Kisses, a bag of Hershey Kisses, and song grams to students on campus for Valentine’s Day. Allegheny students could buy either of these for their friends, and sisters either delivered the Hershey kisses to their mailbox, or sang a song to the person who received the song gram. All the money raised went toward our national philanthropy, Reading is Fundamental (RIF). In the spring, KKG partnered with Kappa Alpha Theta to host an open mic night on campus. During this event, girls from both sororities, as well as students from all over campus, showed off their musical talents on stage. The money donated was split between Kappa and Theta, and donated to each of our respective philanthropies.
Our sisters went to a retreat center for combat veterans and their families, and absolutely loved it. Almost all of the sisters that went commented on how they really felt the difference they made, and hoped to be able to go back soon. In October, more sisters participated in Make A Difference Day (MADD), another event similar to Service Saturday. For MADD, over a dozen Kappas worked alongside the mayor of Meadville in one of the local parks. Girls cleared an entire invasive species along French Creek, as well as mulched throughout the park. Kappa also sold Boo Grams on campus, which were lollipops decorated like ghosts. All the money raised from this event went toward the Rose McGill Fund. In November, the chapter tabled for Kappa Kookies, where sisters baked several types of cookies from scratch and sold them to students on campus. The sisters were ecstatic to announce that they sold out of cookies on just their third day of tabling, and all the money went to RIF. Kappa also hosted a jewelry party with jewelry from Chloe and Isabel in the latter part of November. In December, Kappa partnered with Men Of Color Advancement Association (M.O.C.A.A.) for a philanthropy dance party. Donations were accepted at the door, and Kappa and M.O.C.A.A. split the proceeds for each of their philanthropies. Kappas especially love the holidays in December because they get the opportunity to throw a Christmas party for their local Head Start. Children come for food, crafts, dancing, and even a visit from Santa Claus. Sisters love the event because it allows one-on-one time with the kids, and many of the sisters dress up as holiday characters for even more fun. Why did your chapter choose this organization(s) to support? All of these organizations are one of our three tiers of philanthropy, so we tried equally split up our fundraising for each of the three organizations. ==Highlights of 2017== Our sisters in the Gamma Rho Chapter have not only been involved in their local communities this past year, but the global community as a whole. We had sisters rallying for LGBTQ rights/the Me Too Movement, sisters traveling abroad to Morocco, Moldova, Spain and Italy, local philanthropic involvement with Head Start Foundation, and special events with friends, family and community. Within the Chapter, we had sisterhood bonding events like our annual retreat and events put on by our Education Chairman like a self defense class. During the time the new members were learning about the chapter and its members, the Registrar would pose questions regarding the history of gamma rho using old scrapbooks in chapter on Mondays. By doing this, not only did the chapter have the opportunity to receive a small gift if they got the answer correct, they were also able to reflect and look back on memories from previous sisters. A tradition of our chapter is our Special Person’s Brunch, which we held in November in our Alumni Center where sisters invite a close person in their lives to be honored by our members. Gamma Rho also is involved with other sororities on campus and holds events like Alpha Chi’s and Kappachino’s with the Alpha Chi Omega chapter and a pumpkin smashing event in the fall with Kappa Alpha Theta. In a small community such as Allegheny College and Meadville, Pennsylvania, our chapter strives to be actively involved. Describe the recent changes on your campus and describe the overall nature of your chapter. The Gamma Rho chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma began their 2017 year by welcoming 11 wonderful new members into our sisterhood mid-January. KKG loves to spread positivity and sisterhood throughout the campus and the community. Gamma Rho handed out free hot chocolate to the campus community in December as part of Kappa Koko in efforts to brighten student's week day. Our sisters can be seen doing community service outside of our chapter philanthropies, such as Allegheny College's Make a Difference Day. For this event, sisters went out into our Meadville community and helped do physical labor for residents of Meadville. Our sisters are frequently seen in our Campus Center, tabling to raise money for our philanthropies, such as for Valentine's Day with Kappa Kisses. Our sisters can be seen having fun while participating in Greek Semester events such as Greek Games, Greek Sing, and the Greek talent show. In October we initiated two more amazing members to the 2017 Pledge Class. We took a chapter retreat which served as a wonderful bonding experience especially for the newest members. Our chapter, being around 35 girls during the 2017 academic year, is extremely tight knit and close. We have open study hours in our sweet, frequently get meals together, and spend lots of time strengthening our bonds of sisterhood. Chapter Philanthropy:What organization(s) has your chapter historically/traditionally raised money for, or donated hours to, in your community? One of the chapter’s favorite new member traditions is participating in a lip-syncing competition with other sororities and fraternities on campus entitled SAMS (Students Against Multiple Sclerosis). At the beginning of February, sisters sold Kappa Kisses, a bag of Hershey Kisses, and song grams to students on campus for Valentine’s Day. Allegheny students could buy either of these for their friends, and sisters either delivered the Hershey kisses to their mailbox, or sang a song to the person who received the song gram. All the money raised went toward our national philanthropy, Reading is Fundamental (RIF). Also for RIF, in December Gamma Rho co-hosted a philanthropy dance party with The Men of Colored Advancement Association (MOCAA). In the spring, KKG partnered with Kappa Alpha Theta to host an open mic night on campus. During this event, girls from both sororities, as well as students from all over campus, showed off their musical talents on stage. The money donated was split between Kappa and Theta, and donated to each of our respective philanthropies. Gamma Rho chooses to support our local Head Start foundation as part of our philanthropy efforts. We raise money for and donate time to the foundation. In November, we had sisters take time to go to Head Start to assist families in taking Christmas card photos. The sisters played with the children while the parents made preparations and then assisted the photographer in making the children laugh and smile for photos. One of our favorite events with Head Start through the years which takes place in December, is the co-hosted Holiday party with Head Start on Allegheny's campus. Here, the families with their children get to eat food, decorate cookies, do fun crafts and take cute photos. Why did your chapter choose this organization(s) to support? We choose to support Head Start because they are an amazing Federal Government preschool program for low income households in our community. They provide early childhood education in addition to offering other services supporting children's health, growth and development. Since Reading Is Fundamental is so dear to our hearts, we love supporting this local organization, which also promotes early childhood education, and improving literacy rates, which can be connected to higher success rates in adulthood. Chapter Facility:In what kind of a facility does your chapter meet? Please attach a clear photo of where you typically hold chapter meetings – whether in a classroom, chapter house or elsewhere. ==Highlights of 2023== Our sisters of Gamma Rho have welcomed the New Year by preparing for recruitment in February. Nationally, we recently adopted a new positional structure. '''Philanthropy''':
