Honoring the Legacy of
Kim Lewis Yates '90
DELTA XI ALUMNAE DEDICATE ROOM
IN MEMORY OF BELOVED SISTER
T
ri Delta strives to develop women who are
brave, bold, and kind—three values that
complement our core foundation of truth,
self-sacrifice, and friendship. No one exemplifies
these principles more than Kim Lewis Yates '90,
who served as president of Delta Xi from 1992-
93. Kim passed away in April 2021 following
complications from a stroke. She was 49.
In April 2022, members of Delta Xi's pledge
classes from the late '80s through the mid-
'90s gathered in Columbia to honor Kim's
memory and legacy. The women traveled from
California, Tennessee, and across Missouri to
reunite and remember their friend and sister.
These alumnae dedicated a room in the Chapter
House in Kim's memory. The room named for
Kim is a TV lounge on the first-floor wing and
is one of the chapter members' favorite places
to relax and study.. Kim's daughter, Megan,
attended the ceremony and spoke eloquently
about her mom and the impact that Tri Delta
had on her mother's life. She said she was
honored to be in the house where her mom lived
and to meet her friends.
Kim was a natural leader and, following her
leadership roles at MU, she went on to serve in
high-level positions in marketing for Proctor
and Gamble, Lee Jeans, and Russell Stover.
She was inducted into the Park Hill School
District Hall of Fame in January 2022 and is
remembered for her influence as class president
as a high school senior.
Kim's husband, Chris, recently moved their
twins to their respective colleges. Zachary is
a freshman at Mizzou and is pledging Beta.
Megan recently pledged Chi O at TCU.

901 capital campaign in Kim's memory, please visit

Alumnae gather in the room dedicated in Kim's memory.
I
went to San Diego for LEADDD and the
60th Tri Delta Biennial Convention this past
June. While there, I was able to network with
alumnae and executive office members and
listen to keynote speakers talk about leadership
and professional development.
Additionally, I served as our Delta Xi voting
delegate representative and voted on the
national bylaws for the next two years for the
fraternity! I learned beneficial leadership skills
that I can't wait to bring back to the chapter to
help lead some amazing women.
