TRANSCRIPT
ime for a round of applause — we made it through 2020! Together we have overcome so much in the past year due to the pandemic. And
despite being socially distant, you found creative ways to stay connected with your sisters and to support Kappa Delta in ways that prove the bond of our sisterhood is powerful and unending. You made an incredible di�erence because you chose to invest in your sisterhood through the foundation.
As our sisterhood continues to grow, your support is vital to Kappa Delta’s success. Your generosity supports our mission and allows us to continue o�ering opportunities that inspire each woman to be the best version of herself. We hope you will take the time to read the stories in this report and see the impact you are making on KD sisters and communities everywhere. It is because of you that Kappa Delta is the leading women’s organization it is today.
We are encouraged and inspired by you. Thank you for your faithfulness to our sisterhood.
In our Kappa Delta,

“COVID-19 drastically a�ected my parent’s business and took away my paid summer internship,” Kayla says. As a result, she was unsure whether she would return to school for the fall semester. As the recipient of a Kappa Delta Foundation Emergency Hardship Scholarship, Kayla received �nancial support that ensured her return to K-State. “This scholarship is incredibly important because it is going to help relieve �nancial stress my family and I have felt since the pandemic began,” she says. “It will help me focus on my classes and the topics I’m learning about, rather than how I will pay for the classes themselves. It has granted me peace of mind.”
This scholarship is incredibly important because it is going to help relieve �nancial stress my family and I have felt since the pandemic began.”
hen asked how COVID-19 has impacted her college experience, Kayla Craigmile, Sigma Gamma-Kansas State, says the pandemic has
made her feel isolated, lonely and at times hopeless. Not only was she separated from her close friends and her routine abruptly changed, but she also found it di�cult to stay motivated once classes moved entirely online. This is a sentiment shared by many collegiate women, and our hope is that during trying times, Kappa Delta can serve as a beacon of hope. “Kappa Delta has played a large role in keeping me going and encouraging a positive mindset,” she says. “My KD sisters kept my spirits up by sending letters of encouragement and positivity during this trying time.”

ayleana Green, Alpha Kappa-Oregon State, credits Kappa Delta for providing her support when she needed it most. “The �rst day I walked
into the KD house during recruitment, I made a connection I hadn’t found anywhere else on campus,” she says. “Although I had just met her, a Kappa Delta sister made me feel comfortable enough to share about one of the hardest experiences I have ever gone through: my sister becoming a person with quadriplegia at only 20 years old.”
Since her sister’s accident, Kayleana’s parents have cared for her sister and paid for her medical bills. As a result, Kayleana supports herself �nancially and pays for her own tuition. “I take pride in taking the pressure o� of my parents by paying for my college,” she says. Receiving the Wesley H. and Marybel R. Flint Butler Alpha Kappa Scholarship meant Kayleana could work fewer hours during the school year. “This scholarship has given me an amazing opportunity to live o� of my summer wages and focus on my studies,” she says. “I believe this scholarship proves how dedicated Kappa Delta is to empowering women.”

Tuition and expenses are my ownresponsibility. I am also required to earn a
master’s degree a�er I graduate to practice inmy �eld. This scholarship is extremely
important and has relieved my stress. I am lucky to have sisters who encourage me to keep
reaching for the stars.”
amed for former National President Corre Anding Stegall, award recipients are chosen based on high academic performance and
exemplary leadership within the chapter, on campus and in their communities. This award is the highest individual honor Kappa Delta gives to undergraduate members. Each award recipient receives a $3,000 college scholarship to be applied to her tuition.
The recipients are:
Allison Priest, Gamma Sigma-East CarolinaAmanda Meyer, Eta Beta-BradleyAmberlynn Foote, Eta Iota-PaceAndrea Alderman, Beta Pi-FloridaBrooklynn Moore, Gamma Xi-Kentucky WesleyanCaroline Neck, Epsilon-Louisiana StateDahvi Cohen, Sigma Mu-George WashingtonDeepika Kamineni, Sigma Iota-WashingtonEmma Lawson, Alpha Xi-Louisville
mberlynn Foote, Eta Iota-Pace, aspires to become a plastic surgeon specializing in breast cancer reconstruction because of her own
mother’s battle with breast cancer. “With my mother’s complicated medical history, my family has experienced severe �nancial di�culty,” she says. “I have �ve jobs at school and two jobs back in my hometown that help provide �nancial support.” Yet, Amberlynn also is an active member of her chapter, volunteers at the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and runs her own nonpro�t.
In recognition of her leadership, Amberlynn earned a Corre Anding Stegall Collegiate Leadership Award, which includes a scholarship from the Kappa Delta Foundation. “This award has opened my eyes to an entire new realm of possibilities that exist for my future. It has empowered me to never give up regardless of what obstacles are presented before me,” she says. “This scholarship has truly provided a light in a very dark time in my life.”

s a woman passionate about cultivating and maintaining relationships, Alexis Lazarus, Sigma Mu-George Washington, thrived at
building connections while on the road as a Leadership Development Consultant. “I have developed my professional and leadership skills as an LDC,” she explained. “I’ve visited so many schools and parts of the country I never would have visited otherwise. The LDC program has challenged me and pushed me out of my comfort zone. Without Kappa Delta I would not be the person I am today in terms of my leadership, con�dence, ability to take on challenges and problem-solving skills.”
