OF KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA WINTER 1965 Sharing and Caring -Opportunity Unli-ited A philanthropy program is generally thought of as providing opportunity and assistance to others. However, to Kappa Kappa Gamma it provides the opportunity to remain constant to her purpose. Stated in the By-laws there are two "Purposes." (1) "To give financial assistance to deserving and needy students in order to enable them to complete their education"; (2) "To assist members who are in financial need." Kappa's outstanding program of scholarship aid, totaling nearly $760,000 in grants and loans since its inception in 1902, is widely known and respected in cam pus administrative and fraternal circles. Continued growth of this fine program presents the opportunity to further the name of Kappa Kappa Gamma in the edu cational world. The unique Rose McGill Fund, dedicated to serving the needs of members in dire financial circumstances, presents the continuing opportunity of expressing fraternity ideals. The Rehabilitation Services Program, in just over thirteen years, has seen hun dreds of thousands of volunteer hours as well as dollars contributed in many communities to a wid~ variety of rehabilitation agencies. It has afforded oppor tunity for service to community and for the establishment of good will for the entire fraternity system. Loyal and continued support of Kappa's philanthropies gives added meaning and direction to alumnre programs: each group being urged to determine those areas best suited to the needs and interests of its members ... each group being encouraged to accept the responsibility of sharing with Fraternity Funds. Perhaps most important, Kappa Philanthropies present to all members the op portunity to show care and concern for others. Kappas should care deeply that as the membership increases and grows older there will be greater necessity of pro-· viding material comfort to needy members as well as the expression of the Fra ternity's abiding love and interest. Kappa's concern is great in the need for better educated women who are prepared to provide leadership in this complicated age. Kappas are proud to assist in rehabilitating the handicapped. May all Kappas understand and appreciate these opportunities- and in their knowledge eagerly accept them.
