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.

Meet our New Member Experience Director, Rachel Simms:

"Welcome to Kappa Kappa Gamma! My name is Rachel Simms, and I am a Sociology major with an emphasis on Law and Society and a minor in Human Rights Studies. My job is to educate new members on Kappa's history, values, and traditions. As the first point of contact in Kappa, my job is to ensure new members always feel welcomed, supported, and loved.
