Our chapter has accomplished many different things over this past year. In the spring semester, we achieved our goal of going from fifth in grades back to placing second in grades with a GPA of 3.560. Continuing our streak of achievement in Lambda Chi Alpha's philanthropy, Watermelon Bust, in the fall, we tied for first place. During homecoming week, our chapter took 4th place in Pant the Chant and 2nd in Paint the Ville. Our partners for Homecoming were Sigma Phi Epsilon and Acacia. We created a float to support the overall theme of Little Apple, Big Entertainment. Our float resembled "Coachella" to go along with our theme of Beyonce. We all had an incredible time supporting our chapter, with the help of our new members, we were very excited for the week.

Date parties, a semi-formal and a formal were held that brought our chapter together for nights filled with dancing, good music and a way to build friendships and sisterhood. In the spring, we had a date party with a theme of "Kappa Time Machine", where people dressed like different people or groups of people of the past, present or future. Our formal was "Monmouth Formal" with Pi Beta Phi, which was held at Flint Hills Discovery Center. In the fall, we had "Blues and Bowling " at the Kansas State Bowling Alley, decked out in jean outfits and following in November, we had our semi-formal with a theme of "Maskeyrade" at the Wareham in Manhattan.

Our chapter had a Valentine's event, a Halloween party and a Christmas party. We also had two big philanthropy events that included a Trunk or Treat at the Manhattan Public Library and Kappa KDntinental, that we hosted with Kappa Delta with a breakfast bar. Our members enjoy spending time watching movies in the informal, hanging out on the side porch of our house and making cookie bake or Sonic runs. Our support system at the house consists of our house mom, Jules, and our cook Liz. They continually pour out their love and genuine care for all of us by listening to us and giving us advice. Our chapter is so thankful for the both of them. [[File:GA mom daughter.png|thumb|We love our alumni!]]
Kansas State University has continued to grow as a campus and school over many years. There are new organizations and resources popping up for students to utilize. The Union has been renovated and we gained a few new restaurants and food options to choose from. Our biggest loss on campus was a fire that broke out at Hale Library, a primary study spot for all of our students. Fortunately, our campus has opened up a few buildings and provided resources to make up for the loss of our library. Our chapter, specifically, remains to be held in high regard on campus, still being referred to as the "Kappa Kappa Grandmas". We take pride in our influential members on campus, involvement in the community, our strong relationships with alumni and the heritage that still continues throughout the walls of our home.

==Highlights of 2019== Our chapter supports Reading is Fundamental through local support. We chose this organization because we wanted to support this organization that we enjoy being apart of each year. We always love working with young children learning how to read and seeing our donations of books in the elementary in Manhattan being put to good use. We also wanted to give our semester donation to nationals with the money collected for our philanthropy in the fall.
