4 GIVING BACK Our spring philanthropy event, So You Think You Can Lip Sync, came back this year in full force! Our director of philanthropy, Natalia Pineda '23, and the VP of events and programming, Kaley Tran '23, made sure every detail of this event was perfect. We hosted 15 fraternities that participated in the competition this year, and we were joined by guest judges House Mom Landis Gallman, Chef Dave, CAB Jennifer Gavira Edwards '06, and CHS Representatives Jayme Werner and Elizabeth Kelly '97. We loved the local alumnae who came out to support and experience the show live, and raised over $67,000, doubling last year's total. Congratulations to the winners of the 2025 So You Think You Can Lip Sync competition, Beta Theta Pi! GIRL SCOUT COOKIE SEASON Cookie season is upon us! We now have three wonderful Girl Scout troops that have been selling cookies outside of Kappa Alpha for the local community and FSU students. We are excited to host confidence workshops with them to earn more badges throughout the end of the semester. CAMPUS INVOLVEMENT Our sisters go above and beyond with campus involvement. From co-director of FSU Line Dance to head captains of Dance Marathon to leadership on Student Seminole Boosters, Relay for Life, Student Government Association and more, we are proud to represent Kappa Delta in all aspects of FSU. We also had some fun and unexpected snow this winter! Our sisters loved being able to spend a whole week soaking up the season and having fun. EVENTS VP of Events and Programming Kaley Tran '23 has been hard at work planning our fun socials alongside our fabulous social chairmen, Kate Bulloch '23 and Izzie Kiesel '23. We started the semester off strong with "MASKED," a masquerade-themed date function at Vice Society. We also hosted our annual iconic date function, Flock. We are planning a mixer with a fraternity on campus, formal, and Kastaway to end the year well and honor our favorite seniors! ACADEMICS AND AWARDS Congratulations to the following members for earning honors and awards this year! We are also proud to announce Kappa Alpha earned a GPA of 3.52 for the fall 2024 semester.
