Our chapter holds meetings in our chapter room which is located in our house on campus, rented from the university. Our chapter’s housing is located in our house in the Greek Quad on Carnegie Mellon’s campus. The house is rented from the university and can house 30 Kappa sisters.
==Highlights In the spring of 2016==, the chapter focused on growing sisterhood by participating and competing in PanHellenic events. This year we partnered with Delta Tau Delta and performed Beauty and the Beast for Greek Sing. The Pasta, Pasta, Sauca event was held to raise money for the Greek Sing philanthropy, Our Clubhouse, a non-profit organization that provides free support to those touched by cancer in western Pennsylvania. We also won first place in Booth with our two-story Mario Kart design. Kappa had two formal events in the spring. We had our crush party at the Shady Grove Restaurant and our annual Sapphire Ball was held at the Pittsburgh Aquarium. We were the first Greek organization to have an event at the aquarium in a long time, and we impressed the workers with our class and sophistication. We ended the spring semester by winning the most improved academic excellence and best academic initiative at the CMU Greek Awards.In the summer, some members remained in the house in order to take classes, do research, do internships, or get a summer job.
