Halloween Meeting! Retreat Information!

Hello Kappa Phis and baby Kappa Phis!

This past Monday we spent time paying up merchandise, Halloween shirt, and retreat fees and discussing Retreat, which is this coming weekend! Thanks to everyone who showed up for the Decades Dance, it was a lot of fun and we raised over 500 cans of food!

Retreat is always such a special time for Kappa Phi. There's a lot of fun and bonding that goes on in just one night, and pledges finally become actives. We have a lot of fun planned for this fall's! It will be held at the Vines' family lake house near Lake Conroe (about an hour's drive.)

Most vehicles will leave College Station around 4:00, but there is a late car leaving at 7:00 pm if you cannot leave until then. We will return from retreat at around noon Saturday, but there is an early car leaving at about 7:00 Saturday morning as well. Retreat is less than 24 hours long, so everyone should be able to come. Remember that this is a mandatory event, so message an executive officer immediately if you don't think you will be able to come. If you have not signed up for a car to ride in, go to the Kappa Phi Club facebook page and comment on the sign up sheet. Here are the riding assignments so far:

If you are a confident driver and would like to volunteer, contact Anne and discuss that possibility! (gas money for the driver will be worked out amongst your car)

Don't forget to pay your $10 retreat fee to Christy, this pays for food and activities of the weekend! Bring sleepover stuff and your Bible, and coordinate a car snack with your car so that y'all have a snack and drink to munch on!

This weekend is going to be so much fun, ladies! You will get to know sisters you are not close with yet, and will make so many fun memories!  

Be a Barnabas!

Hello lovely ladies!


This is just a reminder that this past meeting was a Bible study by our lovely chaplain about Paul's conversion in Acts 9. This week you are challenged to be an encourager! Reach out to your sisters and offer them some prayer or praise to brighten their day! Be the person who lifts spirits and brings a smile. 

10/10 Meeting

Good afternoon KPs!

Bring your money (approximately $11) next week so you can pick up your adorable new Decades Dance Party t-shirt. They are super cute, t-shirt chair Shannon did a great job! Help make the date party a blast by coming in costume! Start shopping at Goodwill, Plato's Closet or Halloween stores now for a costume of a character, icon or style from a decade. Don't forget that the party is also a canned food drive, and every 5 cans gets you a service hour.

If you still don't have a program book, contact vice president Becca, and she can get one to you. We also have a silver necklace that was found earlier this semester, so if you lost one, let us know and we can reunite you with it!

Plan ahead, Aggie Replant is Saturday, October 22nd!! Plant a tree with Kappa Phi! It's only one hour of work worth 2 hours of service with your favorite sisters!

The committees met and brainstormed last week. If you haven't joined one and want to get more involved, contact Lizzi and she'll get you signed up!

Everyone enjoy the rest of their weeks, BTHO Baylor & midterms!

10/3 Meeting

Happy Friday Kappa Phi!

So, this week we are still collecting stalker card info (name, number, t-shirt size, birthday) so post that on Wiggio or send it to Lizzi's email if you haven't already! 

Look on the facebook group to check out where actives are going to church! Feel free to contact any of them if you need a ride or want to tag along.

The tailgate has been changed from the Baylor game weekend due to the game time being moved up to 11:00 am. Instead the tailgate will be November 19th for the game against Kansas State!

Contact Stephanie Roberts if you are for sure going to the Halloween Decade Dance and if you are bringing a date or friend!

This week we collected orders for KP merchandise. Tanks, sunglasses, hats....we have some exciting stuff coming our way!

Support inactive Kappa Phi Ashley Tolles by visiting her business Bows for Bill. Her hair bows are adorable, and all proceeds go to help pay her dad's medical bills. 

Kappa Phi active Summer Anderson has started creating decals and cute Aggie products, so stop by her facebook page to check out her photos and see if you want a Kappa Phi bumper sticker made!

Last but not least, don't forget to bring money next Monday for Halloween party shirts! They're purple, long-sleeved t-shirts and super cute!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Some of the amazing binders our pledges have been making!

 

9/26/11 Meeting

Hello Kappa Phi beauties!

This week's meeting started out with some interesting facts about our members. We will continue the game next week!

Some reminders! Join Kappa Phi on facebook, join the Wiggio group, email (not text or facebook) me if you are going to be absent at eberry1614@neo.tamu.edu! Excused absences are not mere studying, but rather sick days, SIs, test reviews, tests, classes, work, etc. Attendance has been pretty darn good...great job ladies!

We collected everyone's email, tshirt size, birthday and phone number, so if you missed the meeting, go ahead and email that information to Meredith. It's for a handy dandy "stalker" card you'll get with everyone's numbers that you can keep in your wallet for rides, questions, and other needs, and we need y'all's tshirt sizes for all the great shirts coming up!

The halloween party is close at hand! Think about what decade style you'll dress up as; the party is on October 28 at 7:00 at the Conference Center. Find a date or grab a friend,  it's going to be so much fun!

We took a poll to see if y'all were interested in some KP merchandise! We discussed sweatpants, tanks, sunglasses and hats.

The Kappa Phi annual tailgate will be at the Baylor game this year. Let Valerie know if you have any good equipment to contribute and make sure to plan to stop by for some tasty food and sisterhood spirit!

Sadly, the Cupcakes and Cartwheels event is cancelled this Friday, so don't worry about attending that. Instead we will see you Monday at the next meeting.

Everyone have a happy weekend!

First Kappa Phi Meeting of the Year!

Hello Kappa Phis & precious pledges!

This is Lizzi, your secretary. I will be posting overviews of what happens at Monday meetings every week so everyone can stay updated!

First meeting was quite productive! Everyone got comfortable with each other through a name game, and the new pledges were exposed to Kappa Phi opening ceremonies.

~Everyone who missed should grab a commitment form next meeting (goes over compliance with Kappa Phi behavior), and also pay dues. It's $85 for actives, and $100 for pledges.

~If anyone cannot come to meetings (ever) or knows they're going to miss one, email me at eberry1614@neo.tamu.edu so I can excuse you! Only 3 unexcused absences are allowed.

~If you haven't already, sign up for wiggio! It's the website we use to reach all of you with events and reminders. Go to wiggio.com and look for the Join a Group link. Our group is Kappa Phi and the password is kppanda. It might take a couple tries! Use an email you check often.


~Bible studies start this week! Remember that it is required to attend one every week, and that this is the thing that will bring you closest to your Kappa Phi sisters!

~President Anne announced a service opportunity that will take place October 1 from 8-12. It takes place at the Farmer's Market....remember you need at least 10 service hours this semester so it's always a good idea to make a head start!

~Kappa Phi voted on the theme for our Halloween Party, and Decades Dance Party was selected! Visit thrift stores or dig through your closet for a fun costume!

~Everyone signed up for committees (social, service, fundraising). If you haven't go ahead and sign up, there are still spots open in service and fundraising!

Pledge Coordinator Meredith discussed possible pledge meeting times. I'm sure she'll announce the consensus soon! Chaplain Chelsea offered us some words of wisdom for our week and reminded us to be compassionate.

One last note, if any of you pledges are wondering how you'll know what's going on all semester, next week you will receive your program book! This not only holds all the Kappa Phi information, but includes a calendar for the year. Eventually you'll make cute binders together to keep them in!

Well ladies, that's the summary of our busy meeting! Everyone have a wonderful week and weekend!

Love, Lizzi

New Sisters!

Today was the Degree of the Pine, which means that rush has ended and pledging has begun! Kappa Phi is so excited to welcome 44 future sisters! 

Here's a look back on Rush Fall 2011. We will see all your pretty faces at 6:00 on Monday for the first meeting of the semester!
