Winter Events

Founders Day Brunch This January, we invited alumnae back to the Theta

house in celebration of Kappa Alpha Theta’s Founders Day. The actives had a great time getting to know the alumnae and celebrating 145 years of

this sisterhood!

Founders Day Cocktail We had a blast celebrating Founders Day with a

cocktail party! We came dressed in our best and danced the night away with our dates.

90’s Date Party We went back to the 90’s this February for our date party! Everyone brought out their chokers, flannels and scrunchies and danced to our old favorite songs.

Fellowship Day At the end of February, we partnered with Sigma Tau

Gamma for a day of service. Our members volunteered at the RISE center, a preschool for

children with and without disabilities. The RISE Center is our local philanthropy and we love to

volunteer and play with the kids!

Happy Spring! We are so proud of everything our chapter has done this semester. We have set goals, celebrated tradition and worked to become the strongest chapter we can be. Spring is right around the corner and we have many fun events planned for the warmer weather. We hope you enjoyed hearing about what we’ve been up to!
