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.

Hi, my name is Erin Pisters and I am Gamma Iota's New Member Chairman. As the liaison between the new members and the chapter I have worked to create a welcoming and warm environment for our newest member class this past semester. I worked closely with each of our 53 new members throughout the new member period, starting with planning a very successful Bid Day in January. We met weekly to enrich them with knowledge of the Fraternity and our chapter. It was a pleasure to see them grow individually as members of Kappa Kappa Gamma as well as new sisters. In March, each new member was initiated.

This semester, I facilitated bonding between our newest initiates and the active members abroad to make them an even more cohesive unit in our chapter.
