Changes

The year of 2021 began with virtual recruitment workshops, meeting many girls online, and finally a virtual bid day. While it may not seem exciting, we still planned lots of zoom events to get the new MC 21 involved in Kappa right away. On March 6, the class was officially initiated into our chapter, and we quickly began the COB process to include even more people in Kappa Kappa Gamma at Emory. On April 29, we hosted our first big philanthropy event of the year called Chips, Cheese, and KKGs where we raised money to support a local charity called Women on the Rise. We finished the term strong, as our chapter had the highest GPA out of all the Greek organizations on Emory’s campus. Our chapter goals going into the next school year shifted to boosting involvement and the amount of sisterhood events in our chapter. Recently we introduced a points system as an incentive for the members of the chapter to get more involved. We have had many opportunities for the girls to bond. We participated in the annual Homecoming parade, hosted weekly Tea Time Tuesdays, set up bachelorette viewings, made bracelets together, and even had a viewing party to watch the girls on our soccer team compete in the Women’s Soccer NCAA tournament. On November 13, we had both members hosting and members participating in the Emory Miracle Color Run which raised money for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. We also had a successful election where we had the opportunity to officially slate our first Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Chair, Vivian Wen. Overall, we had a great year slowly transitioning back to safe in-person events.
