Membership Recruitment Basics

-By SUSIE EYNATTEN HUGHES, Missouri, Kappa Kappa Gamma Di rector of Membership

An article in an early issue ofThe Key reminded me that Kappa Kappa Gamma is not fundamentally different today than many years ago. To quote the article, ((Our avowed aim is to make ourselves stronger, better, nobler women." Our first step to become stronger, better, nobler women is to pledge women who reflect Kappa's core qualities of leadership, scholarship and friendship. To achieve this goal we turn to recruitment basics.

Kappa Kappa Gamma Values All Legacies

legacy is a sister, daughter, granddaughter or great-granddaughter of an initiated Kappa. Legacies have an appreciation for Kappa because it is a part of their heritage. They have a built-in loyalty to the Fraternity and an understanding of Greek life. Because of this strong connection, the Fraternity asks A chapters to grant thoughtful consideration to our legacies for membership. Fraternity policy requires each chapter to establish a legacy rule that will allow all members an opportunity to meet and consider legacies for membership. Alumnae and collegians can assist chapters by sending the Legacy Notification Form and the Membership Reference Form well in advance of the beginning of Recruitment. However, it is important to understand and accept the chapter's decision, because the final responsibility for membership selection rests with the chapter. Every year a growing number of legacies participate in Recruitment, resulting in the number of legacies often outnumbering the available spaces in a new member class. Chapters cannot guarantee a place for every legacy any more than they can guarantee that every legacy will choose Kappa. Promote Greek life and educate relatives and legacies about Kappa Kappa Gamma's legacy policies to help ensure a positive recruitment experience. ------..

www.kappa.org · Spring 2008 • The Key • 15 Leadership Academy Changes Lives

-By SARAH (APPUZZELLO BOHMAN Kappa Kappa Gamma Associate Director of Education and Training

"There truly is no other experience like Leadership Academy," says a 2007 Kappa Leadership Academy participant. An intensive, fun-filled, four-day weekend of leadership challenges, personal reflection and finding your leadership identity-Leadership Academy provides all this and so much more. In fact, for 79 percent of Leadership Academy attendees, it has been a jumpstart to new leadership roles, a rekindling of old friendships, a career and networking opportunity and a re-ignition of a passion for Kappa Kappa Gamma.

The following vignettes tell the story of Leadership Academy and how it changes lives.

Who Was Rose McGill? The History of Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity, 1870-1930, describes " ... a frail wisp of sunny youth, courageous though wracked with pain, smiling always even in the face of discourage­ ment, Rose fought with determination to regain the health that the doctors had long since despaired of." Said to have a carefree manner and given to making witty remarks, "Rose was very pretty, with lovely coloring, and though she never looked very strong she had an unlimited amount of energy-energy she should have conserved." A 1934 issue of The Key carried a detailed story about Rose. "The youngest of three children, Rose was about 13 when her mother died, followed two years later by her father. She was sent to boarding school and during her last year there her brother, the only remaining family member she could depend on, died suddenly. Rose entered Toronto University in the fall of 1919 with the class of 1923. Initiated into BETA Psi CHAPTER in the summer of 1920, her college life was cut short when a bad cold developed into pleurisy." She was hospitalized, then moved to a private sanitarium near Gravenhurst, some distance north of Toronto. Her medical condition did not improve and her financial condition worsened.

"I always refer to her as my 'famous' friend." Madelyn was one of the writers of I Love Lucy and has written about her early years as a writer and her long association with Lucille Ball in a recent book, Laughing With Lucy. Betty Jo says that even though Madelyn has met many famous people and won many awards, including Los Angeles Woman of the Year, a Golden Globe, two Emmy nominations and membership in the Television Academy Hall of Fame, "our friendship has never changed." "Although she lives in California and I in Indiana;' says Betty Jo, "We keep in touch ... we call each other at least once a month." Madelyn, who once served as President of Delta Chapter, feels that one of the great things about joining a sorority is the many instant friends you make whom you can keep in contact with Madelyn and Dick Davis enjoy her soth college reunion in 1992. for years. In 1941, Betty Jo and Madelyn and three of their sorority sisters, JANE ALEXANDER, ANNIE LuNG and MARGE LITTLE, borrowed Marge's mother's car and took a three-week road trip from Indiana to California, driving to Los Angeles, up to San Francisco and back to Bloomington. They each had only $100 to spend for the three weeks on the road but they found $8 motel rooms and gas for 20 cents a gallon. The money lasted through the end of their adventure and the return to college. Madelyn, a journalism student, would later return to Los Angeles after a brief apprenticeship at an Indianapolis radio station. She found work writing radio shows and when television came along submitted an idea for a script. This would lead to a 50-year col­ laboration with Bob Carroll, Jr., writing I Love Lucy, The Lucy Show and The Lucy-Desi Show. In addition to the scripts for Lucille Ball, the pair developed 400 television shows and 500 radio shows, including story ideas for Doris Day, Dinah Shore and The Debbie Reynolds Show. Madelyn says that many times she and Bob used things in scripts that had actually happened to them. When writing the episode for I Love Lucy where the Ricardos and Mertzes drove to Hollywood, she Dick and Betty Jo Lloyd remembered her college trip and a crummy motel where they stayed next to a railroad track. When the train went

"Once, when we wrote a script ''I'm glad Madelyn and I were Delta Chapter Kappas where Lucy and Ethel bought a dress shop, we named it in Bloomington," wrote Betty Jo in her essay. "She is a "Mrs. Hanson's Dress Shop." Betty Jo said her mother friend indeed." loved having a shop named after her. "Another time we did a script about Lucy going back for her school reunion, and one of her problems was remembering all her old school pals' names," says Madelyn. "She ran into her friend Betty Jo and blanked on her name, but managed to get a look at Betty Jo's name tag just in time." Betty Jo remembers when Madelyn was honored at the 1960 Kappa Kappa Gamma Biennial Convention with an Alumna Achievement Award. "I was there with my husband and four sons applauding her," she says. "Lucille Ball was there, too, and showed her film with the classic stomping grapes episode.
