Chapter Philanthropy

Eta Beta takes part in the Kappa Kares program, where we annually vote to support a third organization, in addition to the Jed Foundation & the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation. 

At the beginning of the year, members are given the opportunity to present to the chapter philanthropies and non-profits that they wish to support for our main Spring philanthropy Event – Kappa Kappa Gameday.  This allows us the opportunity to provide aid for pressing and current causes and to help our sisters make a difference in partnership with non-profits close to their hearts. 

After much consideration, Eta Beta voted to support Made in the Streets for Kappa Kappa Gameday 2025. Based in Nairobi, Kenya, Made in the Streets raises awareness for and holistically serves street-connected children and works to reintegrate them into nurturing and safe environments.

As Philanthropy Chairman for the Eta Beta Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma, I could not be prouder to be part of an organization that supports great causes.

Contributing to philanthropic causes is a key part of the membership experience at Eta Beta, and I am extremely thankful to be surrounded by a group of women so dedicated to service for three programs within Kappa: The Jed Foundation, the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation, and Made in the Streets. 

Our main event this past fall, Kappa Kappa Gameday, supported Made in the Streets and The Jed Foundation. Kappa Kappa Gameday is a football themed sport competition, and this year we raised over $8,000!

Working together with the members of Kappa to spread awareness toward Made in the Streets was the highlight of my junior year, and I was consistently thankful to have my sister's support as we put on an amazing event for an even more amazing organization. 

Throughout this past academic year, as our chapter worked toward supporting our three main causes, we were constantly reminded that Eta Beta Kappa’s participate in philanthropy to help better the lives of others and make positive change.

Loyally,
