Collene Ellis and Susan Locke were hosts for the Kappa Alpha meeting Monday night. Sixteen members attended.
Roberta Ellis, president, read a letter from the national President, Marilyn Paul, saying a new chapter, Beta Zeta Phi, will be installed in St. Louis.
The sororitys national convention is June 28-30 in Des Moines. Nine local members plan to attend.
The sorority will host area chapters for the March 9 Founders Day celebration at the New Community Building at Riverside Park. The event includes a social at 11 a.m., lunch at noon, and entertainment following.
The Kappa Alphas will be helping the Presbyterian Church with Sunday Soups on Jan. 27. The sorority will make food entrees, as well as help serve the meal. The chapter also voted to bring non-perishable food items to each business meeting to donate to the Iola Community Food Pantry. Both of these projects are keeping with the national platform of Feeding the Hungry.
A social will be Jan. 22 at the Allen Community College. Members will meet around 6:30 p.m. at the newly remodeled cafeteria and have dinner. Barbara Anderson and Patty Latta will host the event.
