We wrapped up our first semester in December with some great events. Our first Executive Board Leadership Day was on the 2nd where some of the key activities included some team building, review and covering of material, and some time to write sweet encouraging notes to our other sisters. We had our first semiformal at Mad Art Gallery in St. Louis where we danced the night away on the 3rd. We also had “Grabba Grabba Donut” which was a little morale booster for our fellow students where we set out a table of donuts to pass out for free. In our final week of school we had one last sisterhood event before we all said goodbye for the holiday where we painted ornaments and enjoyed some Christmas music.

Members of Kappa Kappa Gamma were able to attend the induction for the new members of Delta Tau Delta. Our chapter is busy crew, but enjoy supporting other Greek organizations. Theta Alpha is also encouraging its members to strive for academic excellence in order to bring up our overall GPA. This chapter supports Reading is Fundamental, Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation, and Kelsie’s Hope. The chapter supports these organizations because they give back to those that are truly in need and we want to help provide a positive future for those organizations through funding. Theta Alpha celebrated Founders Day at a beautiful venue in Edwardsville called Crystal Gardens. We had lunch together and talked about what Kappa means to us. We also held the FoundersDay ceremony. The Minnie Stewart van visited our SIUE campus in November to get us excited about the 150th anniversary of KKG. We are planning to host a celebration for our members and extending invitations to chapter alumnae and the St. Louis Alumnae Association. This first semester was a huge period of growth for us as a chapter as we established ourselves within the chapter and in leadership roles. Through the highs and lows we really started to mature with our sisters and enjoy some laughs along the way. We cannot wait to see what 2019 2020 holds as a newly established chapter, and look forward to our future dear Kappa days.
