Kappa Alpha Chapter

T
he Kappa Alpha Chapter had an incredible
spring semester of instilling confidence
in our women, benefiting our Tallahassee
community, and encouraging the betterment of
academics, service, and sisterhood. We had a
full calendar of philanthropy, social, and Chapter
events that created wonderful memories and
accomplishments for our sisters.
ACADeMiCS
Our GPA for the 2015 fall semester was 3.27,
placing us third out of 17 Panhellenic chapters.
This semester, we have been encouraging women
to send in good grades to gain "money" for the
academic auction at the end of each semester.
We also created a list of majors and minors so
women can contact each other with questions. In
the fall of 2016, we will begin using a study app
to reward women for time spent at the library.
We will also be organizing a "Movin' On Up"
dinner congratulating women on improving their
GPA or achieving the Dean's List.
PHiLANTHRoPy
We held our fourth annual Color Me KD on
February 21. The event supported Prevent Child
Abuse America, and over 700 members from the
Greek community and Tallahassee participated
in the event. We donated over $20,000 to PCAA.
We also held our annual Girl Scout event where
our members helped two troops sell Girl Scout
cookies on campus for four hours.
"Color Me KD was our best and most successful
color run yet! I am so grateful to have such a strong
sisterhood behind me in running these philanthropy
events. I couldn't have done it without them!" said
Noell Powell '13, philanthropy chairman.
CHAPTeR ACTiviTieS
This semester, we participated in FSU Dance
Marathon and paired with the fraternities Phi Psi
and Beta. Almost 70 Kappa Deltas danced and
five members were morale captains, which is a
huge honor. Kappa Delta alone raised $24,000,
and Dance Marathon raised over $1.4 million for
the Children's Miracle Network. We plan to pair
with Pike for FSU Homecoming in the fall, and
we paired with ATO for Relay for Life on April
15. Our sister sorority is Pi Beta Phi, and we will
plan an event with them in the fall! We were also
invited to attend the Governor's Mansion to be
recognized by the first lady of Florida, Ann Scott,
and the PCAA organization on live television for
our accomplishment of raising over $40,000 for
Prevent Child Abuse America.

We hosted our K∆ Dad's Weekend in April and
it was a huge success! We took them to the FSU
Circus and had a Father-Daughter Dance and
a Sunday brunch. It was a chance to show our
fathers what the Kappa Delta life is all about!
The Kappa Alpha Chapter would like to show
our appreciation for the continuous support from
our alumnae. We are very proud of our activities
and accomplishments this semester. We invite
