Currently: not holding any office, but hoping to next year!

About me: I'm from a northwest suburb of Chicago and I just rushed in September of 2003. I've known I wanted to join a sorority since as long as I can remember. My mom was a Pi Phi at Illinois State University and her stories of being in a sorority only made me want to join one more and more. Next year I will be a sophomore at U of I and I can't wait to move into the Kappa house!

Major: Business undecided...probably accounting or finance

I just joined the forum today so this is my first post! But I have been reading the forums since I found them back in January of this year...I'm addicted

home chapter: Zeta Upsilon Chapter, Georgia Southern University
currently serving the Fraternity as: Webmaster

About me: I'm a military brat. Spent 3 years in Massachusetts, 6 in Germany and the rest in various other places, usually for less than a year. Well, up until middle and high school and now I'm currently in Georgia. Now I'm attending Georgia Southern and majoring in computer engineering and dedicating every other spare moment to Kappa.

Ah, finally got this account to get activated...

username: Shima-Mizu
real first name: Catherine, but everyone calls me Cat
initiation date: 02/22/2004
home chapter: Eta Delta Chapter, Valparaiso University
currently serving the Fraternity as: Webmaster
Home chapter claim to fame: We had the smartest new member class for the semester I joined
About me: I'm a Japanese major, math minor. I'm an avid lover of martial arts, been practicing for about 4 years or so now, and I teach on campus... I love anime and hope to translate it one day.

[RiaLucia]

username: RiaLucia
real first name: Maria
initiation date: 11/08/2004 (I had to go get my badge and check...how sad is that?)
home chapter: Eta Delta Chapter, Valparaiso University
currently serving the Fraternity as: New Member Education Chairman
Home chapter claim to fame: One of our women who just graduated and used to post here from time to time said it best "our chapter's just a baby!" We were a local sorority, Phi Beta Chi, until 1998. So we don't have much in the way of a long-standing tradition of being or doing something in particular as Kappas. However, like Cat said, we have an awfully bright new member class this past spring! Best out of 6 sororities!

About me: I, like Kristi, am a military brat, so I've been all over. Born in WA state, lived in Virginia, Germany, Pennsylvania (where I am now), and I've been to school in Ohio and now Indiana. I enjoy singing, dancing, acting, reading, and writing. I'm going into my senior year of college and I'm so very excited for it, as I've been ready to get out ever since I did the Walt Disney World College Program and got a taste of "real" life. So that brings me to my other "about me", which is that I'm a Disney freak and constantly sucking up info about its parks, resorts, movies, etc. I am an English major, but my love lies in my minor, which is communications. I enjoy graphic design and do a little web work, and if Cat wasn't such a fantastic webmaster, I would've stepped in and freshened up our chapter website myself. I hope to graduate on schedule and return to Orlando, Florida and take up a career with Walt Disney World.

You may also recognize me on the Kappa LJ community, as my name on LJ is also RiaLucia. Actually, that's my name pretty much everywhere.
