Chapter Overview: Kappa Delta

Over the next few weeks, we will be featuring each sorority that participates in formal recruitment at the University of Alabama. This will help inform potential new members about each chapter.

Nickname: KD

National Founding: Longwood University in 1897

UA Founding: First sorority on campus in 1904

Chapter Name: Zeta

Chapter Website: ua.kappadelta.org

Kappa Delta's chapter president, Carlton Middlekauff, said a few words about the University of Alabama chapter.

“KD is a great way for potential new members to immediately get involved on campus and in the community. We promote success in all areas of our member’s lives including academics, campus and community involvement, sisterhood and so much more," Middlekauff said.

"Everyone always told me 'if you invest in KD, it will invest so much more in you.' I can speak from personal experience when I say this could not be truer. This chapter continuously impacts its member’s lives in a positive way, including my own," Middlekauff said. "I am so blessed to be apart of something so amazing.”

Kappa Delta's recruitment chair, Virginia Bullock, also said a few words about the upcoming recruitment week.

“It’s going to be a long, hot week, so drink plenty of water! The best thing you can do is be yourself during each party you go to during recruitment week," Bullock said. "On Bid Day, it’ll be all worth it!”

The 2014 pledge class also said a few words about why they decided to pledge KD.

“I pledged KD because everyone was genuine throughout recruitment. The philanthropies we support are incredible causes, and everyone in our chapter truly cares about helping each other out whether it’s with schoolwork, campus involvement, or as a new freshman on campus.

"I met two of my very best friends on Bid Day, so I knew from the beginning I made the right choice!” – Everette Dawkins, PC’14

“When I went through recruitment, I could tell how well the KDs got along, how they interacted with each other, and from that moment I knew I really wanted the friendship and joy that they had when it came to choosing a sorority.

"I immediately knew on Bid Day that I had made the best decision of my life by choosing KD! I have made so many great new friends and memories that I know will last a lifetime!” – Francie Kenan, PC’14

“I fell in love with KD the first day I went into their house during recruitment. There was so much energy, love, and happiness that filled the whole house. All of the girls were so down to earth and easy to relate to.

"KD has made me feel welcomed and has made me truly feel like a sister. I can’t imagine myself being at any other house any other group of girls!” Anna Mixon, PC’14

“I decided to go KD because I felt most comfortable when I walked in the house during recruitment. The girls were very down to earth, genuine, and this made it easy for me to be myself.

"Also, I love that KD promotes confidence in all women. I’ve made so many great new friends, memories, and KD has given me lots of awesome opportunities!” Grace Morrissette, PC’14

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
