“Walking into the house on a fried Friday to laugh and regale a table of friends over a plate of fried macaroni bites is a time I look forward to each week," Kappa Kappa Gamma's president, Margaret Shatzmen said. "These are the girls I was thrown together on a bus with on Bid Day clad in blue Kappa jerseys, full of naïve excitement, all unaware that over the next four years, we would become each other’s best friends, share unforgettable memories, and encounter countless laughter-filled Fried Fridays."
"Kappa has given me a place to call home, friends to keep me on my feet, and the ambition to reach my full potential," Shatzmen said. "As we approach another year, I hope to give back to new members the same experience Kappa has given me over these three incredible years.”
The 2014 pledge class also said a few words about why they decided to pledge Kappa.
“Kappa felt right at home instantly, but skit day definitely won me over, seeing everyone laughing and having so much fun while doing the skit made the decision very clear to me that I wanted nothing else but Kappa.” Amelia Kohl, PC '14.
“I could tell the first time I walked into the Kappa house it was the bomb. The atmosphere of the house was just so relaxed and fun, the choice was obvious to go Kappa.” Beth Galaid, PC '14.
“I had heard great things about Kappa, and during rush they seemed like a group of awesome girls. Kappa’s it!” Kimberlin Roger, PC '14.
