Gamma Kappa/George Washington

The Gamma Kappa Chapter at The George Washington University was originally installed in 1946 and was on campus through 1975. Last weekend, Kappa Alpha Theta reinstalled the chapter, welcoming Gamma Kappa home. Thank you to the installation team members who volunteered their time to make this weekend so special for our 91 newest Thetas!

Social Media Snapshot

Advisor Appreciation Month: April is NPC’s Advisor Appreciation Month! We will provide resources—including templates for social media shout-outs—to help college chapters show their advisors how much their work is valued. We will also feature Snapchat takeovers from several college chapters that excel in advisor appreciation!

Sexual Assault Awareness Month: April is also Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and Theta will support this important initiative with educational resources on social media. Mark your calendar for Denim Day on April 26, when people all over the world will wear denim to send the message that there is never an excuse for rape and sexual assault.

Magazine Survey

Last week, all Theta alumnae received a survey about the Theta magazine. If you haven’t already completed it (total time: less than five minutes!), we hope you’ll do so this week. We value your input, which will help guide future content and design updates.
