Scholarships

Many people have stated that one reason they did not join Greek life is because of costs, but many people are unaware of the amount of scholarships available to help pay for these costs. Most of the scholarships given out can be accessed through BeGreek.org. Every Monday night, the opportunity to get a…

Diversity in Kappa Alpha Theta

This weeks lesson was about diversity and what it is like to be a minority in this world. Some say that being around many people of another race or culture can be uncomfortable or intimidating. I am proud to say that this is not true in Kappa Alpha Theta. Theta is a very…

Dinners and Lunch at the house

When you look at the price of being in a sorority as a whole, it may seem like a lot, but when you look at the number of things you are paying for, it makes a lot more sense. One thing that you are paying for when paying the Kappa Alpha Theta bill is lunch and dinners. In…

I am from freshly caught fish and freshly hunted deer. I am from grilled steak and…

I think that it will be really good for people to see that sororities are actually beneficial to your education and not harmful.
