The Update | September 25, 2018
News from the Industry
Sororities from George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, are receiving negative news coverage after AnnCatherine Heigl, a cheerleader with Down syndrome was denied a bid from every sorority on campus. Lillie Heigl, AnnCatherine’s older sister told The Mighty, a digital health community publication, that “she’s not sure she can fault the university’s Panhellenic association as a whole because decisions to cut potential new members come from individual chapters.”
Two members of Kappa Sigma Fraternity from Texas Christian University were arrested and are facing hazing charges for an incident on Sept. 3, in which a new member was found unconscious with a blood alcohol content of 0.4, which can be deadly. The new member was transported to the hospital and treated for alcohol poisoning, the Daily Mail reported.

Memorial Service
Kappa Alpha Theta has provided a memorial service for use during the funeral or memorial service of a member who has passed. This service is available to the families of deceased members of Kappa Alpha Theta. Should the family so desire, it can be incorporated by an officiant of the funeral or memorial service. A family member of the deceased or a Theta sister can also lead it. The Memorial Service can be found on the About Theta page on the Theta website. Please share this information with Thetas and their families as the need arises, to help remember our departed sisters who will never be forgotten.
