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.

A LETTER FROM OUR NEW MEMBER EDUCATOR

"Welcome Potential New Members! We are already counting down the days here at Kappa Kappa Gamma until pledge class 2024 runs home and we are all so excited! All 12 Panhellenic sororities at the University of Arkansas are filled with amazing sisterhood bonds, philanthropy opportunities, and unique ideals and values. I encourage you to go into Recruitment with an open heart and mind and to enjoy the overall experience - Recruitment is such a special and fun week and in the end, it is all worth it!

For those of you who run to Kappa Kappa Gamma on Bid Day, I am so excited to spend our time together with you this Fall! As New Member Experience Director, I am here to help and guide new members, including the transition to college and the Kappa Kappa Gamma experience. From bonding at sisterhood events, and eating lunch together at the house, to supporting our philanthropy and getting initiated into Kappa, there is so much to look forward to! I cannot wait for all of you to experience the authentic love and support that Kappa Kappa Gamma has to offer! Meet you soon!" - L&L,  Jordan McGinley
