KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA
WE WELCOME NEW SISTERS
On the heart of each sister lies one key that binds us
A conversation that took place when six coeds stood face to face, began what now has come to be the sisterhood of KKG.
As each potential new member spent time meeting your chapter members, who knew there would be so much to share, these conversations have blossomed into lasting friendships.
And now you have the joy of calling each other "sister!"
GARDEN OF BLUE
I unlocked the gate with a golden key
Stepped inside to a garden of blue,
There bloomed a profusion of Fleur de Lis
Ne're fore had I seen such a view
And I knew t'was the end of my wandering
Never more would I wander afar
For I've come to my heaven in Kappa land
T'was unlocked with the key to my heart.
Once Again the Circle Opens
Kappa gladly welcomes newly initiated sisters of Beta District
Gamma Epsilon, Delta Alpha, Delta Phi, Delta Xi,
Zeta Beta, Zeta Iota, Zeta Phi
Your newest members are Kappa's future. Help guide them to learn about our ritual and her history. I encourage you to share 5 favorite facts about your chapter at your meetings.
As much as each chapter is unique unto itself it also has so much that identifies with the ideals of Kappa Kappa Gamma. Friendship, loyalty and trust are held dear by all who wear the golden key.
Kappa provides an opportunity to express oneself and allows the chance to help others and to receive support from friends, Kappa is womanhood, individuality, commitment, lasting friendship and love, Kappa is for a lifetime.

Have a beautiful and blessed holiday season!
MARSHAL
First let me congratulate those Chapters who conducted a successful Initiation this semester. Coordinating everything with the actives and new members is a daunting task. Our Ritual is what binds us together. Every chapter conducts the same ceremony whether in Pittsburgh, Easton, Princeton or State College. Take note of what you think worked best in your workshop and what you can suggest for your successor.
Now is the ideal time to take inventory of initiation equipment, condition of robes & ribbons, batteries, silver bowls, trays, silk vines etc. The Ritual equipment report located under officer reports is an excellent checklist to review now. A few chapters have ordered new runners, banners & gavels. CALA Apparel is our official supplier for initiation needs. You can create a wish list for your House Board to purchase for your chapter. This list can be passed on to your newly elected Marshal this month.
Thank you for your dedication and commitment to ensure your new sisters have experienced our cherished Ritual of Kappa Kappa Gamma.
