Kappas in the NEWS

Kappas are certainly on a roll this semester! Two schools have recently been featured on their campus newspapers for their hard work and achievements in carrying out our three pillars of sisterhood, service and cultural diversity. Read more about their hosted events, below:

Sigma Chapter at University of Connecticut -

Asian Stereotypes: Past, Present and Future

The event was conducted in efforts to identify Asian stereotypes and discuss how it can affect Asians in everyday life.

The event went as followed:

• First part: Showing of a MADtv clip that highlighted typical stereotypes about Asian Americans
• Second part: Guests and sisters split into groups to come up with skits on stereotypes and act it out
• Third part: A discussion took place, so students could freely talk about situations where they've been subjected to a stereotype and how they reacted.
• Conclusion: Another discussion on what can we do in order to stop the spread of harmful stereotypes.

To learn more about the event, be sure to check out the article.
