Everyone looked forward to their return to Butler (and to Kappa) in the Fall of 2012. Spirits were high, making it a great atmosphere to head up our biggest philanthropy event, Kappa Kickoff. We raised a record amount of money for Coburn place, one of our local philanthropies, and had a fantastic turnout. We had fraternities participate in our lip syncs, and they were a huge success. The boys held nothing back as they sang and danced for the judges, with Delta Tau Delta winning the first place title. Homecoming 2012 was a fun event for Kappa. We were paired with Delta Tau Delta and had Mouse Trap as our theme. We had a great time working with the fraternity and being creative as we made a lifesize game board of Mouse Trap in our front yard. Overall, 2012 was a wonderful year for Kappa Kappa Gamma's Mu Chapter, and it will be one that we all remember. As for challenges, Mu Chapter did encounter some challenges. Among these was the issue of knowing Kappa ritual. We have worked on that by going over ritual at formal chapters and it has helped the issue significantly.
'''Campus: ''' Butler University was founded in 1855 and continues to serve as a wonderful liberal arts institution. Butler offers more than 65 majors. Over the past five years, Butler's graduates have had an average 96 percent job placement rate, with 100 percent in education and pharmacy. The campus is home to approximately 4,771 students, many of whom are working towards completing an undergraduate degree. The majority of Butler students are white Caucasian. Butler represents 49 countries and 45 states. With over 150 organizations, many of Butler's students are involved on campus. Roughly 33% of the students are affiliated with a Greek organization, which includes 7 sororities and 6 fraternities.
'''Chapter: ''' Mu Chapter welcomed 40 new members in February, and is now thriving with 163 members. Although many women call Indiana their home state, there are a variety of other states represented: Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, and Illinois. The diversity of the house is represented through our fields of studies and passions, ranging from pharmacy to dance. Along with these respective majors, many Mu Kappas are involved in a variety of other activities outside of Greek life, such as Butler University Dance Marathon, Relay for Life, Academic and Business Fraternities, and Student Government. Mu members also participate in a number of athletic programs, including swimming, soccer, lacrosse, dance team and cheerleading. We are well represented throughout campus and are proud of the many achievements of our members.
