10.75" KAPPA ALPHA THETA P.O. BOX 30166 COLUMBIA, MO 65205 Address Service Requested THE THETA UPDATE Help Us Shine a Light on Our Theta Sisters S E N D I N Y O U R S T O R I E S ! A lpha Mu wants your help identifying sisters to feature in future issues of The Theta Update. Do you know a Theta sister with an interesting story to tell? Are you one of them? We want to hear from you! In our newsletters, we love to share alumnae stories of class reunions, family and friend connections, volunteer missions, career paths, unique hobbies, life accomplishments, and anything in between! If you have a suggestion, please contact our communications coordinator, Amanda, at alehr@penningtonco.com with "Theta Mizzou Spotlight" in the subject line. Thank you for staying connected with Alpha Mu. We are excited for your input on who we should feature next! Membership improves the learning gains students make in the classroom, and members are more academically engaged than their peers. Members are more involved in campus activities than other students, and Greek organizations promote both personal development during and satisfaction in their college experience. Fraternities and sororities seek to enhance inclusivity, and our members actually report higher levels of interaction with people different from themselves compared to unaffiliated students. These benefits are even greater for first-year students as they join fraternities and sororities and find community and belonging. This leads to stronger retention and higher graduation rates among Greek students than their peers. As many college students experience stress, loneliness and depression, fraternities and sororities offer critical connection and a sense of community, and members report higher levels of positive mental health than their unaffiliated peers because of it. Recent research on fraternities and sororities demonstrates how positive the impact of the Greek experience—and the ΚΑΘ experience—is for undergraduates today. Both inside and outside the classroom, we are providing tangible value at the most important time of growth in their lives. Research Proves the Kappa Alpha Theta Experience Is More Relevant to Today's College Students than Ever Before
