B E T A C H I C H A P T E R O F K A P P A K A P P A G A M M A Pride in Our Past, Foundation for the Future The New 238 E. Maxwell Beta Chi Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma P.O. Box 34004 Lexington, KY 40588 Address Service Requested O ur Beta Chi undergraduate sisters have lived in our beautiful new house on 238 E. Maxwell for an entire year, and we feel at home. This year challenged us to utilize a brand-new space in order to strengthen our sisterhood, and I am amazed by how much we have accomplished. Undergraduates Making Strides at Leadership To start off the semester, five officers, including me, had the privilege of attending the Kappa Leadership Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. In three days, we experienced position-specific training and leadership development seminars, all while making new friends and memories with chapters across the country. We brought back innovative ideas and motivation to make a difference in our fraternity. Reading is Key for Kappas Philanthropy is one of our strongest values, and we once again have proven this true. We hosted a Dr. Seuss-themed Reading is Key event at Tates Creek Elementary School. Our members helped students with their literacy skills, such as fluency and comprehension, and all 650 students received a free new book! We also paired with Kappa Alpha Order to host our annual Kappa Bowl fundraising event for Reading is Fundamental. Instead of holding the event outside, this year we decided to change things up and host it at the Kentucky Indoor Lexington soccer fields. Kappa Bowl was a hit on campus and a huge success, raising over $3,000! Celebrations with Kappa Moms In April, we invited our families to our Kappa home for the annual Mother- Daughter Tea. That weekend we also held the Senior Banquet to say goodbye and good luck to the Fall 2015 member class and to those who are graduating. Both celebrations are important as they signify the end of a chapter and the start of a new beginning. Whether the first year of college or the last, neither are possible without family support. Thank you to all who were able to be there, as it truly means so much to our members. Beta Chi has a long tradition of being special, and this tradition is based on the idea that we will always remember our dear Kappa days. I want to personally thank our alumnae for their ongoing support, as our chapter would not be what it is today without you. Our 2019 semester had a great start, and I am ecstatic to see where this momentum will take us in the fall. If you ever find yourself in Lexington, make sure you stop by the chapter house to experience and relive the history and sisterhood of Kappa Kappa Gamma!
