==Highlights of 2018==
The Gamma Nu chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma has had a successful and eventful year as
shown through the level of accomplishments and involvement on campus as well as within
the community. This year at convention, Gamma Nu was honored to receive several awards.
Our Chapter Council members graciously received the Philanthropy Award and Heritage
Award. We also received Honorable Mentions in Risk Management, Academic Excellence, and
Panhellenic. Our chapter was the most proud to be recognized as a Top 5 Finalist for the Most
Outstanding Chapter. Winning these awards at convention was incredible, but being
surrounded by our fellow Kappa chapters and sisters was inspiring, encouraging, and
worthwhile. Gamma Nu was also recognized heavily through Order of Omega in which our
chapter received the Award of Excellence. One of our members, Layne Winn, was recognized
as an Outstanding Executive Board Member for her commitment to Panhellenic Exec. Order of
Omega also recognized Landri McGregor as the Outstanding Chapter President for her
leadership of Gamma Nu. In Spring 2017, KKG received Academic Excellence for the highest
GPA on campus. Grace Wewers was also recognized as Outstanding Junior by Order of Omega.
Kappa was also fortunate to have our very own, Lydia Fielder, serve as the 2018 Homecoming
Queen for the whole university. Gamma Nu holds the Intramural Cup Champs award for our
athletic teams. We also won Derby Days, a dance competition between all sororities. KKG also
placed first in Carol of the Greeks, which is a singing competition between all sororities. SOOIE,
a registered student organization on campus, recognized KKG as the 2018 Student
Involvement Academic Award winner. Overall, Gamma Nu came together to have a very
successful year. Although awards are not the sole reason we set high goals for our members,
their hard work has paid off with these recognitions.
Gamma Nu is very fortunate to have a beautiful house in which members can meet and spend
time. This year, many sororities were in the process of rebuilding their houses. Therefore,
there was not a meeting place for their sorority members during the rebuilding process.
Therefore, Gamma Nu decided to welcome them into our house! We invited Alpha Chi Omega
members to a Chicken Finger Friday meal at our house. It was great to offer them a place to
share a meal and to get to know members from a different sorority in a casual setting! We also
hosted the ladies of Tri Delta to eat a meal at our house, when they were unable to provide
meals for them one week during the finishing reconstruction of their house! Being able to help
our fellow University of Arkansas sororities is something that our chapter loves to do. There is
a special sense of unity and community among Panhellenic members at Arkansas and Gamma
Nu does an especially good job of fostering this!
Gamma Nu took part in philanthropy events helping Washington Elementary and Owl Creek
because they are underprivileged schools in our community. Through Girls Academy and
weekly tutoring in the classroom, our members are able to make a difference in the lives of
these children by helping them learn to read, but more importantly instilling a new sense of
confidence in them. It is unifying for the chapter to come together in support of these
worthwhile organizations!
Our chapter meets in our chapter room which is in the basement of our house. We are able to have enough room for all members as there are around 500 seats available.
Savvy Shields was a Gamma Nu and served as Miss America 2017. She represented our chapter so well
on a national platform. Chelsey Churchill serves as the Chapter Council Advisor and was the president of the chapter when she was an active member. Landri McGregor was the Gamma Nu president last year and currently works for Nestle in Cleveland, OH.
