Despite graduating and continuing on in their journey, our alumnae are still very much part of the sisterhood. Whether it be using the skills they've gained through their past positions, continuing to give back to their communities, or keeping in touch with sisters and their lineage, alumnae continue to represent the pillars and values of Kappa Phi Lambda. Being a part of Kappas means a lifetime of friendship, and our alumnae are the greatest example of that!
As the history and legacy of Psi Chapter, the active house wants to thank each and every sister that contributed to the growth of our chapter and the bonds that have created this sisterhood.

How has joining Kappas impacted you and your career?

My experience being in Kappa Phi lambda has pushed me to explore my boundaries, challenged me to take charge, gave me an opportunity to be a leader (previous chapter president, publicity chair, recruitment chair, fundraising, etc.) Additionally, being in Kappas has given me lifelong friendships, networking opportunities, and taught me how to interact and work with a diverse group of people.
