→Highlights of 2013
This past year, Centre College has had its largest enrollment to date. We are hoping to recruit a large pledge class in the spring due to the increased population on campus. Centre College also has a new Director of Greek Life, Alycia Tidrick. She has improved the Greek Review system by adding deadlines throughout the year and making most of the process electronic. With these new deadlines, Ms. Tidrick hopes to prevent the chapters from filling out everything at the last minute.

Centre College continues to increase in size. Our chapter is very involved in many different organizations on campus. One of our greatest strengths is our philanthropy. We have raised over $7,000.00 for the Center for Courageous Kids.
Our chapter meetings are held in the basement of the Kappa Kappa Gamma house on Centre College's campus. Our chapter has had one university owned house for several years. Ten women are able to live in the house each year. Seven of the positions are selected on a first come first serve basis. The house manager, the president, and the president's roommate also live in the house.
