Kappa Kappa Gamma - The Ohio State University

BeTa Nu BulleTiN 2 at the library or studying diligently at the house is just one example of our academic incentives. Formal recruitment, led by emily fitz '12, was an unprecedented success. We welcomed 51 incredible new members, including 11 legacies, to the chapter. These women are already leaders in the community, involved in service, and sisterly—we are eager to see the positive impact they will have as Kappas. Their initiation took place mid-March and couldn't have come soon enough! Our busy Fall included winning Homecoming Week with our fraternity partner, Kappa Sigma. Recently, the entire chapter went on a retreat with our new members to further our relationships and understanding of the organization. Hopefully this will become an annual event given its unifying impact it has already had on the chapter. The chapter is also looking forward to Parent's Weekend in April with the opportunity to welcome our loved ones for a fun-filled weekend on campus. We are always so grateful for the unwavering support from Beta Nu alumnae. It is encouraging to see firsthand that membership in Kappa Kappa Gamma can offer a lifetime of friendship and encouragement.
