On behalf of the 2010–2012 Fraternity Council and the Foundation
Board of Trustees, it is our pleasure to welcome you to the
Fraternity’s 69th Biennial Convention in Jacksonville, Fla. General
Convention is an intergenerational experience that provides unique
opportunities to meet Kappa sisters from across the United States,
Canada and England.
Kay Reid Tennison
Foundation President
This program is your guide during Convention so you won’t miss
any of the fantastic educational sessions, award presentations,
inspirational speakers, the Foundation breakfast, business meetings
and discussion opportunities you want to experience. It also contains
Julie Marine Leshay the Fraternity Biennial Report—information about Kappa to share
Fraternity President
with your members upon your return home.
During the next four days, you will have the opportunity to:
• Elect Fraternity leadership for the next biennium.
• Participate in discussions that will determine the
direction of our Fraternity.
• Experience the ritual that binds us.
• Honor award recipients.
• Support the four program areas of the Foundation
through tribute gifts.
• Share in a service opportunity for the local
community.
• Develop lasting friendships and rekindle old ones.
Kappa Kappa Gamma will empower women to pursue a lifetime of excellence. This new vision statement for the
Fraternity supports a Kappa experience that provides a context for discovery, development and the realization
of what a woman aspires to be. Along with the Foundation’s new vision statement, The Kappa Kappa Gamma
Foundation will be at the forefront of advancing inspired women leaders, we stand on the threshold of a new
long-range planning process. During our Town Hall meetings and educational sessions, we’ll ask you to share your
dreams and expectations for Kappa Kappa Gamma as we prepare for our Sesquicentennial celebration in 2020! By
listening to the membership, we will have a clear understanding of where we should focus our efforts during the
next biennium and beyond.
We express gratitude and admiration for the volunteers and staff who keep Kappa “up and running” so well. Each
member of the Fraternity, Regional and Associate Councils spends hours faithfully performing the duties of her
office. The Fraternity Standing and Special Committees and the chairmen support the important programs of the
Fraternity. The Foundation trustees and committee members tirelessly promote scholarships, Rose McGill aid,
leadership training and historical preservation. Chapter Advisory Board and House Board members give countless
hours of love and support to our chapters and their facilities. Alumnae associations are filled with devoted officers
who are loyal and true. And our collegians remind us of why we joined Kappa in the first place. Supporting all of
these dedicated members is a staff at both the Fraternity Headquarters and the Foundation office that is simply
the best! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
It is with pride and pleasure that we share with you the specifics of our most recent accomplishments made
possible by our members’ inspiration and support through their time and resources.
Loyally,
Julie Marine Leshay, Colorado CollegeKay Reid Tennison, Arizona State

The Fraternity is in its final year of the five-year Strategic Plan. Our
Strategic Plan (2007–2012) has helped us stay relevant to our members,
recognize each other for our commitment to the larger world, and expand
our use of technology.
This progress report outlines the accomplishments of your Fraternity over
the past biennium. We celebrate and build on these accomplishments as we
chart our future.
Membership News:
u
A new chapter, Eta Pi, was established at
New York University. Kappa Psi Delta, a local
chapter, voted to affiliate with Kappa Kappa
Gamma, and a special installation that included
10 alumnae was held in November 2011.
u
Heightened interest in sorority life saw our
number of new members increase by more
than 900 during the biennium.
u
Extension opportunities were numerous,
and each month brought a new bulletin
of campuses expanding their Panhellenic
communities. We redesigned our extension
presentation to incorporate a more storytelling atmosphere, and video auditions were
submitted by Kappas. With a newly trained
team of presenters using a professionally
produced script, Kappa Kappa Gamma has
been invited to open new chapters on the
following campuses:
w California Polytechnic State University,
San Luis Obispo, Calif.— Spring 2013
w Chapman University, Orange, Calif.—
Spring 2013
w North Carolina State University,
Raleigh, N.C.— Fall 2016*
w Mississippi State University, Starkville,
Miss.— Fall 2016*
u
u
A newly designed Membership Data Form
allows better matching of potential new
members with compatible chapter women to
maximize their recruitment efforts.
u
Audience Response Systems (clickers) are
being used effectively, and the Fraternity
continues to research best-price options for
our chapters.
u
Initiation of several adult women who
previously pledged Kappa but were not
initiated took place with great success and
fanfare.
u
Coordinators of Chapter Support volunteers
collaborated with the Province Directors to
recruit and support Advisory Board/House
Board volunteers.
u
Alumna activities remained strong with eight
new alumnae associations chartered during
the biennium.
u
An Alumnae Association/Chapter Match Listserv
was created to add greater potential for
communication, support and collaboration.
Fraternity Council renewed its focus on legacy
education, and, as a result, the number of
pledged legacies increased. Webinars for
mothers of legacies and ongoing articles in
The Key brought awareness of the growing
pool of legacies and the value these women
may bring to our organization.
*N.C. State and Miss. State extensions are contingent upon mutually agreeable recruitment numbers to support a new chapter in 2016.

Education/Training:
u
Webinar training continued for all 18 chapter
officer positions, and alumnae association
Presidents were also provided effective
officer training through multiple webinar
opportunities.
u
Model House Rules were created and
uploaded to the Kappa website for use by
our chapter House Chairmen.
u
Kappa Key Reads, an online book club, was
offered via webinar-style learning.
u
The Chapter Support team utilized webinars
to connect with advisers and House Board
members for training specific to these
volunteer positions.
u
A GIRLS Academy Committee was created to
raise funds and plan, promote and execute
GIRLS Academy. Four GIRLS Academy events
were held during the biennium:
u
A webinar Producer Team was created to
support the increase in webinars.
w Beta Mu, Colorado, and Boulder
u
Volunteers such as Province Directors utilized
the online Kappa Learning Institute to
prepare for their Associate Council Seminar
training in June 2011, and all attendees
were encouraged to view the Pre-Convention
course on KLI.
w Beta Pi, Washington, and Seattle
u
u
Our National Hazing Prevention Week
campaign was enthusiastically embraced by
our chapters through campus promotions and
social media. We promoted the RESPONSE
ABILITY Project, which focuses on the
bystander effect—where we see a problem
but do not intervene. Kappas supported the
Every|Day Hero™ Campaign—an initiative to
empower people to intervene.
National Panhellenic Conference initiatives
were supported through ongoing education
to our membership. Kappas participated
as Something of Value facilitators; trained
specialists provided guidance in use of the
Release Figure Method during membership
recruitment; and support of the NPC
Unanimous Agreements and the NPC Long
Range Plan was emphasized.
u
A Risk Management Focus Group was
conducted to ensure that Kappa stays
relevant in the information that is needed
for planning chapter events.
u
Senior programming for graduating members
was fine-tuned, and the chapter and
alumna teams worked together to ensure a
successful transition to alumna life.
uChapter Leadership Guides and Alumnae
Association Manuals were updated; a Model
New Member Chapter Supplement was created
and uploaded to the Kappa website for use by
our chapter New Member Chairmen.

The “Wearing Your Letters 24/7” workshop
presented at the 2011 Province Meetings
around the country created ongoing
discussions regarding Kappa values. Value
cards were created by our Department of
Education and Training as a new educational
tool to assist with dialogue among Greek
men and women.
u
Two hundred Kappa Trainer visits were
conducted, which included 14 LEAD seminars
for chapters and alumnae associations, and
more than 120 webinars were produced
during the biennium. In 2011–2012, more
than 2,000 individuals participated in at
least one webinar.
u
A Standards Team and additional resources
were created to guide those chapters who
may need extra assistance in educating
our chapter members not only about spirit
and morale for the entire chapter, but also
about appropriate behavior, scholastic focus,
financial responsibilities and kindness to
others.
u
An updated Book of Ritual for alumnae
associations, along with a newly revised
Book of Devotionals and Inspirational
Readings, were printed and are being
distributed here at Convention.
Academic Excellence:
u
Our new Academic Excellence Month
promotion debuted in February 2012 and
included an academic excellence T-shirt
design contest, “Take a Kappa to Work”
week, and photos of campus AE banners
and Minerva cutouts studying with
chapter members, which were posted
to social media to promote academic
excellence. More than 26 academic
resources are now on our website for the
VP-Academic Excellence.
u
An AE Focus Group was conducted via
conference calls to create a plan to assist
chapters who have been below the allsorority-average on their campuses for
three terms or more.
u
We celebrate our most recent chapter
scholastic reports, highlighting a 3.26
combined average GPA with 12 chapters
ranked first in academics on their
campuses!
Kappa Cares:
u
We continue our partnership with Reading
Is Fundamental, an organization that
promotes literacy.
u
Our chapters provided more than 44,000
books during the biennium to RIF and other
literacy-based programs.
u
More than $150,000 was raised to support RIF.
u
During the biennium, our members gave of
their time with more than 277,000 service
hours devoted to campus and community
projects.
u
The KKG Foundation benefited from our
chapters and alumnae associations with
more than $433,000 donated in 2010–2012.
u
In the 2010–2012 Biennium, the Foundation
provided more than $2.3 million in
scholarships, financial aid, educational
programming, and funding for the operation
and outreach programs of Kappa’s two
museums, staying true to its vision
statement: The Kappa Kappa Gamma
Foundation will be at the forefront of
advancing inspired women leaders.**

Star Spangled Banner
O Canada
Oh, say can you see, by the dawn’s early
light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s
last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched, were so
gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs
bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag
was still there;
O say, does that star spangled banner yet
wave,
O’er the land of the free and the home of
the brave?
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
On the Heart of Each Sister
Air: “The Ash Grove”
On the heart of each sister lies one key that
binds us,
The badge that reminds us of fraternity days.
Down deep there’s a friendship that needs
no concealing,
Our hearts it revealing in so many ways.
It is here that we measure each day with
new pleasure,
Our friendships outlasting our collegehood
days.
And in the years after, with tears or with
laughter,
We’ll always remember our dear
Kappa days.
You Raise Me Up
You raise me up, so I can stand on
mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on
mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
Rah! Rah! for Kappa Kappa Gamma
Rah, rah for Kappa Kappa Gamma,
Three cheers for the girls who wear the blue
and blue.
Now you can quote me when I say I am a
Kappa girl from K.K.G. I’m true
The wise old owl who wears the golden key,
Blue ribbon gardens grow the fleur-de-lis,
Oh the Golden Key, the fleur-de-lis, the blue
and blue,
Well, that’s for me. Rah, rah for K.K.G.

Additional Song Lyrics: www.kappa.org/2012Convention
One, Two, Three Words
Hooray for Kappa Gammas
One, two, three words run through the heart
of our song;
One, two, three words carry our love along.
One, two three words locked by the golden
key;
To all who read, it spells our creed:
K.K. and G.
Air: “Give My Regards to
Broadway”
Dream a While of Kappa
Air: “Till We Meet Again”
Dream
Dream
Dream
Dream
a while of Kappa ever true,
of her and she will be with you,
of friendships through the years,
of days, their joys and tears.
Now it’s time that you and I must part,
So take this dream and place it in your
heart,
Keep it dear until the time,
We will meet again.
Hooray for Kappa Gammas,
The gals who wear the blue and blue!
Check out the smiles on all our faces,
For we’re friends forever true.
We love the key of Kappa,
The wise old owl, the fleur-de-lis!
Hooray for dear old Kappa Gam!
Yes, she’s the only one for me!
KKG’s for You and Me
Air: “It’s a Small World”
It’s a world of laughter, a world of tears,
It’s a world of friendship
Throughout the years;
We are sisters true blue,
Unity through and through.
K.K.G.’s for you and me.
K.K.G.’s for one and all,
Sisterhood you’ll hear us call;
Happiness and caring, too.
K.K.G.’s for you and me.
Fleur-de-lis
Pat Song
Air: “Edelweiss”
Fleur-de-lis, fleur-de-lis
Every morning you greet me.
Soft and blue, always true,
Flower of friendship forever.
Blossom of blue may you bloom and grow,
Bloom and grow forever.
Fleur-de-lis, fleur-de-lis
Guard our friendship forever.
Air: “The Irish Washerwoman”
“Pat,” says she,
“What,’’ says he,
“Tell me the truth,” says she.
“What do you think
is the best fraternity?’’
“Oh,’’ says he
“That’s easy, easy to see,” says he,
“Nothing is better than K.K.G.”
O, Kappa, Kappa Kappa Gamma,
I’m so happy that I am a
Kappa, Kappa Kappa Gamma,
Nobody knows how happy I am.
