With the addition of 58 womenthe Chi class the chapter grew to approximately 130 active members. Following recruitment the sisters engaged in a number of social activities including sisterhood bonding events for the new members, matching quotathree date parties, and send off luncheon for the soon to be graduating seniors. The luncheon provided the perfect time for the sisters to reflect on the many ways being a Kappa had enriched their university experience. In addition the sisters continued their academic and philanthropic pursuits. The chapter’s combined GPA for the spring semester was a 3.41. Spring philanthropy included continued work at Barclay elementary school as well as Kappa participation in events such a Dance Marathon and Relay for Life.

In the past year it has not just been the Greek organizations on campus that have experienced growth. The university accepted the largest freshman class in history last spring. In addition a number of new construction projects have been completed to handle the university'''Philanthropy:''' s expansion. However, the heart of campus remains the same as do the attitudes of the students. Greek life is still a close knit community of four panhellenic sororities though there has been discussion of inviting a fifth sorority to campus in the next few years. Our chapter has expanded greatly in the last year and has really succeeded in establishing itself around campus as an involved and proactive organization as seen by our strong turn out for Greek week and our high level of involvement in other on campus organizations. We are still a tightly knit group despite our rapid growth and the sister remain focused on academics and philanthropy: Relay for Life, volunteering at the Barclay School for RIF, American Cancer Society, Maryland Food Bank, Maryland SPCA. '''Chapter Convention Awards:'''
