Haiti Earthquake

A Message below from Nationals

Kappa Delta has long been known for its commitment to helping those less fortunate, so on the heels of the devastating earthquake in Haiti, it comes as no surprise that members are asking, “What can I do to help?” At this time, Kappa Delta encourages members to support those immediate-relief organizations that are currently operating in Haiti to provide medical care, food, water and housing. The online Network for Good, www.networkforgood.org, offers links for individuals to make donations to a variety of charitable organizations, including the American Red Cross, CARE, Doctors Without Borders, Partners in Health, UNICEF and more.
After other recent natural disasters, KDs have rallied to support the KiDs Need to be Kids effort to provide toys, books and games for the youngest victims of these disasters. While the sorority believes strongly in this program, we also recognize the more urgent needs faced by Haiti’s citizens. The sorority will consider the need for the KiDs Need to be Kids campaign once health care and living conditions improve in Haiti; until then, Kappa Deltas are encouraged to support the relief efforts of their choice.

The First Alumni Event of 2010!

We would like to invite everyone to U.S. Pizza (basement) on Disckson St. on Thursday February 11 from 6-8 p.m. As we continue to get things settled, updated, and organized we wanted to go ahead and plan a get together for anyone interested! So if you are available, come and join us for some pizza, and socializing! *We will also be taking canned good donations for the Bread of Life Food Pantry in Springdale, so please bring a canned good item.*
We are brainstorming other event ideas and will hopefully have a variety in different locations around the NWA area, as well as some daytime and evening events. We thought pizza would be a nice casual way to kick off the new year!
We have received feedback from many and really appreciate everyone's input, keep it coming if you have any other ideas. Also some of our contact information is a little out of date for some alums. If you know any alums that do not receive these emails and would be interested in coming pass along the invite! As mentioned before we will hopefully have a mailing sent out in the very near future, so keep your eyes open for that.
We are excited to get things going and look forward to seeing everyone soon!
Deidre Leonard and Ashley Lamb
