A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Happy Spring from Gamma Mu! We are anxious and excited to start our last quarter b efore summer. This last term we made it a priority to increase our chapter’s overall GPA. W e successfully achieved this goal and increased our GPA to a 3.12 exceeding the OSU all women’s average of a 2.77 GPA. On an individual level we are happy to announce Katie Kohler, a sophomore in Gamma Mu, was recognized at our termly Panhellenic Scholarship Banquet and awarded Panhellenic Scholar of the Term. Aside from being Kappa Geniuses’ this winter, we participated in informal recruitment. We enjoyed participating in informal recruitment and cannot wait to start the spring process. We are planning to initiate all new members from both winter and spring informal before summer. Gamma Mu is ready to show these women how special and meaningful the initiation process is for Kappa Kappa Gamma. We have been busy inside our chapter improving academics and participating informal, b ut also focusing on community involvement. I am always amazed b y how involved each m ember’s desire to give back to the community. This last winter we also planned multiple sisterhoods. One of our sisterhoods was a Derby Days themed brunch and we also attended an Oregon State women’s gymnastics meet. We are continuing to plan and appreciate our sisterhood events as it gives us an opportunity to grow closer to our Gamma Mu sisters. As spring term is here we plan to keep ourselves busy with the perfect balance between academics, community involvement, and sisterhood. Haleigh Shadley
