OF KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA \ (\~\ WINTER, i:912- ~on~ern ... ~aring ... ~ontntitnteiit What could bring more fulfillment to a woman's life than knowing in her heart that she is committing herself to a truly worthwhile endeavor? It seems to me that one of the most virtuous and worthy activities in life is to show concern for others by giving of oneself to help those less fortunate. Imagine yourself a helpless retarded child. What an encouraging feeling it is to know someone actually cares about your happiness and well-being- not with dollars alone-but with hours of time, genuine compassion and understanding. The value of money for research and care of patients cannot be underestimated. Yet, human warmth and love-a personal touch- is needed for the underprivileged to feel the deep concern others have for them. There will always be some who have purely selfish motives for supporting and be­ friending the disadvantaged, thinking only of the praise they will receive for their efforts-patting themselves on the back. But that shows an insincere and hollow desire to abet. Sorority women throughout the nation have been dedicating themselves to a variety of philanthropic projects for years. They have been unjustly accused on college cam­ puses of merely forming social cliques and being interested only in trivial matters. It would prove nothing for sororities to boast about their philanthropic contributions. Yet, greater emphasis is now being placed on philanthropy in the Greek organizations-not only to show those unaffiliated that they have been wrong in their accusations, but to teach sorority members themselves to have empathy as well as sympathy. Kappa has always encouraged its members to become involved with philanthropy. Tutoring the retarded, giving holiday parties for handicapped children, assisting in community projects, and donating blood are only a few of the vast number of projects in which Kappas participate. Joining in philanthropic activities helps a member to become a richer human being, because she gains awareness of the challenges which face the less fortunate. Kappa's contributions may seem small considering millions of troubled persons exist in the world, but members know within themselves that they are doing their share to make the world a better place for all. The Kappa philanthropic spirit needs to be kept alive! If projects become stagnant­ causing lack of enthusiasm among members- then it's time to think of new, creative ideas, And remember . .. if fidelity is from the heart, it's real . it's Kappa.
