Changes

The easiest way to describe the overall nature of the Beta Nu chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma is to say that we are a group of extremely diverse women who compliment eachother each other in the best of ways. Throughout my time as a Kappa in undergrad, I have been pushed, encouraged, and supported by my sisters in Kappa Kappa Gamma in ways I could have never imagined. They have forced me to become a more well rounded person and to appreciate our individual differences. Beta Nu creates women out of girls, sisters out of friends, and confidants out of strangers. ==Highlights of 2018==The past calendar year has been very exciting for the Beta Nu chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma. In late January, recruitment for new members began. Through information sessions, coffee dates, and interviews, the new members of Beta Nu were selected and celebrated Bid Day in February.Once recruitment was over, we began to build our sisterhood. We had sisterhood and philanthropy events to help build strong relationships among the new members. We also participated in events with other Greek organizations, such as Greek Week. As the semester came to an end, we elected our first chapter council and initiated the new members.  As a new school year approached, we began to prepare to move into our beautiful house. About 70 members had the opportunity to live in the house with their sisters. Through the fall semester, we have continued to grow as a chapter. We have continued to work to grow our sisterhood, presence on campus, and become a more unified chapter. In the past year, Beta Nu has become a diverse, supportive, and exciting chapter. We continue to grow as we prepare to participate in our first formal requirement in January.  In our community, our chapter works with Mental Health America of Franklin County. Our chapter chose to support Mental Health America of Franklin County because mental health is an issue that everyone faces in their lifetime, whether it be their own mental health or the mental health of someone they know. Ohio State is a campus that is constantly changing. In the spring, construction began on The Oval and finished in November. Construction on Mirror Lake was completed, and it was opened at the start of the school year.  The past year has been transformative for Beta Nu. We have grown so much as individuals and as a chapter as a whole. We have overcome many obstacles and have significantly grown our sisterhood. Beta Nu is currently a chapter full of growth and change as we prepare to welcome new members in the spring.
