Three Collegiate Chapters Will Colonize This Month

As you may have heard by now, Kappa Delta is growing again! The sorority has accepted invitations to colonize new chapters on the following campuses for fall 2010:

Florida Gulf Coast University in Ft. Myers, Fla. - September 17-19, 2010
North Carolina State University in Raleigh, N.C. - September 24-26, 2010
Boston University in Boston, Mass. - September 27-30, 2010

It is a very exciting time, but we need your help! It is our goal to spread the word of KD’s colonizations and to solicit your recommendations for membership. If you know any qualified young women who are currently or will be attending any of these schools in the fall, we ask that you complete a reference and let us know about her!

The reference form can be found at: www.kappadelta.org/referenceforms. Once it has been completed, it can be submitted electronically to Louise Geib at chapterservices@kappadelta.org or by mail:

Kappa Delta Sorority
3205 Players Lane
Memphis, TN 38125

Whether it is a new chapter or an existing one, references really do help us to make good decisions about members. We appreciate so much your assistance in this area. – Betty Mulkey, National Vice President
