We are thankful for our close friends with Kappa Delta sisters, for the leadership development that helped us become successful community members and for the numerous opportunities gained through Kappa Delta membership. We still remember, as we're sure you do, the great times we had together at the Chapter House and the memories we created. With the increasing growth at The University of Alabama, sorority recruitment numbers continue to be the highest in the nation. It is projected that new member class sizes will be 90-120 for the next 10 years. While KD continues to attract some of the top women, we know there's a need to offer better facilities to our members, and a place that all members can gather for meetings and meals. Given these immediate needs, the House Corporation is proud to announce the First Sorority, First Circle…Continuing the Tradition campaign to secure our continued success at The University of Alabama. This campaign will allow Kappa Delta to rebuild our Chapter House at our historical location on First Circle, meet the needs of today's students, and remain competitive on campus among other sororities who are completing renovations and rebuilds. Kappa Delta alumnae are proud of the location of our home and we're excited to create new memories at the new KD house. Early commitments from 191 generous alumnae, undergraduates, and friends total more than $1,905,886. This is a great start, but we need your help to reach or exceed our campaign goal of $2.5 million. This is the time to remember your KD experience. Remember what impact Kappa Delta had on you, and think about how your life has been affected by your membership and your sisters. It is only through the lifelong bonds of Kappa Delta sisterhood that future generations may share the same experience. We need you now more than ever! In the new Kappa Delta house, we will provide our members with a modernized facility that will help our Chapter maintain a competitive edge on campus while creating a safe home away from home for our Chapter Kappa Delta Announces $2.5 Million Campaign Plans to Rebuild House on First Circle Underway, More Than $1.9 Million Committed (Continued on page 2) First Sorority, First Circle...
