New Member Program

The whirlwind of going through Recruitment, being extended a bid and then joining Kappa for life can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time. Kappa gives our new sisters a warm welcome by extending friendship and mutual support through our new member program.

The new member period is a time to learn about the Fraternity and educate women on the expectations and requirements of being a Kappa. Each new member is given a Big Sister to guide her through this new stage of her life. New members also attend a retreat to foster and develop the new friendships and connections within the chapter.

 

After Recruitment, women who have been extended a bid to Kappa will go through a 9-week long new member period. This consists of a retreat, receiving a Big Sister, weekly chapter meetings, new member meetings and Inspiration Period.

We use this time to help each new member adapt to sorority life and understand what it means to be a Kappa at the University of Oklahoma. We want our new members to feel ready for the commitment they are making before Initiation.

Hazing Policy

Hazing is counter to the ideals, values, and principles of Kappa Kappa Gamma and will not be tolerated in any form. The University of Oklahoma has a zero-tolerance policy on hazing and continually educates all members of the Greek community about how hazing is inherently antithetical to sisterhood.
