Our campus has been an increasingly positive force in social justice issues. Students at Emory are passionate about providing equality across campus and Kappas are at the forefront of these efforts. From supporting the rights of undocumented students to leading campus-wide silent protests, Epsilon Epsilon sisters are catalysts for change. We couldn't be prouder of our progress this year and can't wait to see what 2017 has in store.
'''Philanthropy'''
Epsilon Epsilon celebrated an exciting philanthropy milestone in 2016 - in the Fall we hosted our 25th Chill and Grill philanthropy event in collaboration with other Greek organizations. The event is one of the highlights of our year and lasts several days with the proceeds of the event benefitting Reading is Fundamental. Our chapter has long been associated with Emory’s Hope Lodge - a free housing facility for families of cancer patients. Because of the timing of volunteer events, our chapter chose to adopt a new local philanthropy. The philanthropy chairman presented a variety of options to the chapter and Our House was decided upon. Our House is a local shelter that provides for homeless families and newborns. The vulnerable populations the shelter serves and the opportunity for hands-on involvement made it attractive for our chapter. EE members take weekly service trips to the shelter and have had a wonderful experience thus far.
==Highlights of 2017==
Our chapter has had an amazing 2017 year! We welcomed a wonderful New Member class in January and had a great time getting to know them during the spring semester. We had multiple date parties and a formal that were planned by our wonderful social chair! Graduation was a bitter sweet time as we lost our beautiful senior girls, but we were so happy to see them go on to medical schools, law schools, jobs, Peace Corps, graduate schools, Teach For America, etc. We began the 2017-2018 school year with acquainting the girls who were abroad last semester with our phenomenal new girls. Homecoming went off without a hitch, thanks for our Public Relations Chair, and we came in second place in the parade. Most recently, our social chair perfectly planned out Semi-Formal dance, and it was a great way to end the semester!
