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
