know our new members and show them the love
we have for Delta Gamma.
Address Service Requested
Thank you so much for all of your support this
past year. We were excited to see the good luck
article put in the UDK for Rock Chalk Revue. It
was very generous of you to send a "Welcome
Back" sign when we moved back into the house
after summer break. We are grateful to have such
a supportive alumnae organization.
ITB,
Krista Lind '10, Chapter President

Leave Your Mark at Beta Kappa
n 1929, Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity built a beautiful
colonial home on Emery Drive, which now serves as a
home to Delta Gamma's Beta Kappa Chapter. During
WWII, many members of Sigma Phi Epsilon enlisted in
the war, resulting in a decline in membership and, ulti‑
mately, the loss of their home. On April 26, 1941, Beta
Kappa was the 10th National Panhellenic Conference
group to colonize at the University of Kansas. Lack‑
ing adequate housing, the new Chapter experienced an
exciting moment during their installation banquet when
they received word that the stately home on Emery
Drive was theirs! Since then, the grand sorority house
has welcomed hundreds of new members, had major ad‑
ditions to its structure, and undergone significant recent
renovations.

Kelly Ann Murphy Harshbarger '80 recently
started her own business, Leave it to Kelly, that
involves helping the elderly and animals.
Sonya Likins Jury '85 is currently the presi‑
dent of AIA KC.
Due to much-needed repairs, the House Corpora‑
tion is currently improving the gravel walkways
surrounding the home. The new concrete walkways
will incorporate commemorative bricks honoring
Beta Kappa's many years of history on the KU cam‑
pus. Purchasing engraved bricks is a wonderful way
to honor Delta Gamma moms, daughters, sisters,
advisors, new member classes, or others who have
supported Beta Kappa throughout its history.
Lauren Abernathy Cody '00 welcomed the
birth of her first daughter, Victoria, in February.
