LEAVE YOUR MARK! Donors have the opportunity to name a room in the new house after themselves or another individual. Also consider joining in a donation with sisters to name a room as a group! The rooms available to claim are listed below. Notes from MIZ KΔ KAPPA DELTA | UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI | FALL 2023 Renovations continue at 606 Rollins. We can't wait to welcome our sisters home in 2024! T hank you, alumnae and donors, for the unwavering support you've shown for Inspiring Tradition: The Campaign for Epsilon Iota. When we embarked on this journey, we asked for $1 million to transform our chapter house into a safe and enjoyable environment for our sisters. Loyalty and dedication of our alumnae has helped us to reach that goal already, and we are immensely grateful for every contribution. This generosity has propelled us toward making our dreams for the chapter house a reality and ensuring a bright future for all the young women who will call it home. As we celebrate this amazing achievement, we encourage you to remember that if we continue working together through the bonds of sisterhood, we can surpass all expectations and make an even greater impact! Please join us in helping reach our new goal of $1.125 million. We're over halfway there already with more than $65,000 contributed. WHY HAVE A NEW GOAL? This extra support will go toward the care of our youngest sisters as we navigate the current transitional period. The chapter is temporarily renting the Tri Sigma house to keep our members together so they can continue to enjoy sorority living. While we're grateful to Tri Sigma for the use of their facilities while their own chapter is unhoused, it's important to note this arrangement comes with certain unavoidable expenses, including a rent cost that we did not have at 606 Rollins. The additional funds we are asking for will help us pay rent and maintenance fees while we eagerly anticipate Epsilon Iota house's reopening. HOW ARE RENOVATIONS GOING? So far, smoothly! We expect this project to be completed by 2024 and will continue to send out updates about our progress. HOW CAN I HELP? Right now, we have 348 alumnae donors who have generously contributed to the Inspiring Tradition campaign. Our goal is to increase that number to 375 by the end of 2023. Your donation, no matter the size, can have a significant impact. By contributing to the campaign for the first time or again, you are not only supporting the well-being and aspirations of current sisters but also strengthening the bonds of sisterhood and representing the ideals Kappa Delta stands for. If you've already given all you can at this time or are looking for another way to support the sisterhood, please reach out to a sister who has yet to contribute (visit mizkappadelta.causevox.com to see an up-to-date list of contributors) and tell her why you were inspired to give. Remember, you are the only one who can speak about your special connection to our sisterhood and remind your sisters of their own ties to Epsilon Iota! Together, we can make a difference and provide for future generations of Epsilon Iota members while honoring the sisterhood of which we are all a proud part. Let us stand united in our commitment to Kappa Delta and the young women who proudly call our house their home.
