New Member Program

The whirlwind of going through Recruitment, being extended a bid and then joining Kappa for life can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time. Kappa gives our new sisters a warm welcome by extending friendship and mutual support through our new member program.

The new member period is a time to learn about the Fraternity and educate women on the expectations and requirements of being a Kappa. Each new member is given a Big Sister to guide her through this new stage of her life. New members also attend a retreat to foster and develop the new friendships and connections within the chapter.

Going through the recruitment process can be overwhelming, exciting, and so much more, but everyone has the same goal in mind – to find your forever home. The purpose of our new member program is to make sure our new Kappa sisters feel supported as they enter the warm embrace of our chapter.

Kappa has given me my best friends and some of the most incredible experiences I’ve had in college. This sisterhood gives me a sense of home in a large and overwhelming environment, which I will be forever grateful for. My hope is that each new member finds this for themselves and gets to experience the love and friendship that Kappa has to offer. I look forward to helping guide our new members through this process in the upcoming year, and to create a safe, supportive, and friendly introduction to our amazing chapter.
