Mu chapter has grown and changed over the past year, just like Butler. The University’s 2020 plan is still in progress, and a new building has opened. Irvington House welcomed its first tenants in August, right across the street from Kappa. Mu has been preparing for primary recruitment, during which time 8 of our sisters will be recruitment counselors and one will serve as Vice President of Conduct on the Panhellenic Executive Board to help Butler women find their forever homes on Greek Row. Our newly elected Chapter Council is excited to help Mu grow even more. 2018 has been a great year of growth and sisterhood, and we can’t wait to see what 2019 holds!

The 2018-2019 academic year kept the women of Kappa Kappa Gamma very busy and excited. This year, the women of Kappa planned their annual “Kappa Kickoff” event to raise money for Coburn Place, moved back into the sorority house that was remodeled, and won multiple awards during the Greek Excellence Awards! Kappa Kickoff is a week-long philanthropy event where the women raise money for Coburn place through various events. They had a chipotle giveback, found many companies and families to sponsor their event, and hosted a kickball tournament for all of the sororities and fraternities to participate in. This past year, they raised over $15,000 for our local philanthropy, the Coburn Place, which is an organization that provides housing options and support services for women and children that have suffered from domestic violence. Also, to help raise money for Coburn Place we hosted Kappacino and Fall Festival.
While the members were away for the summer, the Kappa Kappa Gamma house was renovated. We hosted a joint philanthropy event with Alpha Chi Omega raising money to split to each of our chapter's philanthropies. The Greek Excellence Awards that we won this past year include Philanthropy and Service and Campus Leadership and Involvement. Along with our own chapter philanthropy events, we participated in other chapter's events including Sigma Chi's Derby Days, Delta Tau Delta Trike, and Delta Gamma Anchorsplash. We are so proud of what our sisters have accomplished and cannot wait to see what this chapter does in the years to come!
Our campus received a new panhel director this year. Our chapter has always had a good relationship with the panhel director and we will continue that with the new one. One of our active members is the president of Panhel
Coburn Place - empower victims of interpersonal abuse - including domestic violence - to live as survivors
As a strong, all women organization we stand together to help raise awareness, advocate & fundraise for a nearby program who provides housing for survivors of interpersonal abuse. We feel the responsibility to give back to a program that does so much for the Indianapolis community.
Our chapter hosted a dessert celebration with alumni for Founders Day. We played a slideshow during the dinner of Mu Chapter photos from the 1800s to today to reflect the 150 years. We had multiple guest speakers including past MU Kappas.
Our chapter hosted the Kappa van that went around to a ton of college campuses. This was a great opportunity for all of us to see how far Kappa Kappa Gamma has come and to realize how important our chapter is. To celebrate Kappa's 150th anniversary our chapter is participating in 150 random acts of kindness between now and next October.
