f ighty-six girls ran to the Kappa Delta House ' after receiving their formal bids from Gamma Chis at Fulton Chapel on October 30. Bid Day is such a special day because it not only celebrates the new girls who just decided to make a life-long pledge to Kappa Delta, but it also is rewarding for the older chapter members who worked so hard to recruit such amazing girls, Elizabeth Walker, vice presi- dent of member education, said. After a frenzy of gift giving, camera flashes and endless hugs, the Kappa Delta pledges joined their new sorority sisters to celebrate the end of Recruitment and Bid Day at a pool party at the house of Ms. Pat Lamar, an Alpha Mu alumna of Kappa Delta. Active KDs greeted the new pledges with claps and cheers in the driveway of Lamar ' s house, located near William Faulkner ' s estate, Rowan Oak. Tables with pink and green cloths and candy cen- terpieces lined the patio and pool area of the house; the area was also decorated with bright balloons and decora- tive lollipops to match the Bid Day theme, How Sweet It Is to Be a KD. A large K and D made of white mums from Oxford Floral floated in the pool. After lounging poolside and socializing, KDs enjoyed an elegant dinner catered by Provisions of Oxford. Our Bid Day Party was so pretty and so much fun. I was happy to finally be a KD, and I felt so wel- comed by all the girls, Maggie Coakley, new KD pledge, said. Everybody was smiling and happy to finally be done with the nerve-racking part of Rush and know that they got KD. Our bid day party this year was so great, Char- lotte Mintz, senior Kappa Delta member, said. I ' ve never seen such a nice pool party, and I think it really showed the new members just how excited we were to have them with us. 318 -Kappa Delta

r r his year, the ladies of Kappa Kappa Gamma hosted the second annual Bar-B-Q for Books at Ole Miss. This primary philanthropy benefits the national philanthropy for the sorority, Reading is Fundamental. The event took place at the Kappa Kappa Gamma house in October, and junior accounting major Katie Clore of Ft. Payne, Ala., estimates the total funds raised were $12,000. For weeks prior to the event, girls sold $5 tickets at different venues all over campus. The event was catered by Handy Andy ' s barbecue with live music downstairs. Patrons could come anytime from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. to either eat and visit or just grab a to-go plate. The girls of Kappa Kappa Gamma worked very hard in promoting this important fundraiser. The girls placed a banner outside their house and an ad in the Daily Mississippian, and all of the girls wore promotional T-shirts the day of the event. Without all of the campus ' support, Bar-B-Q for Books wouldn ' t have been as much of a success, Amanda Stone, Kappa Kappa Gamma member, said. Everyone that attended knew that their money was going to a great cause. We are so grateful for everyone ' s enthusiasm to help raise money for Reading is Fundamental. Beyond the scope of Bar-B-Q for Books, the ladies of Kappa Kappa Gamma are always seeking ways to give their time and energy to Reading is Fundamental. There are many other ways we help out right here in the Oxford community, Kristen Dugar, Kappa member, s aid. Many of us volunteer at the Boys and Girls Club and Leap Frog and focus on reading to the children. We also donate books directly to Reading is Fundamental. The sorority is developing a new philanthropy to replace the powder puff football game philanthropy the usually host in the spring. 320 • Kappa Kappa Gamma
