WE ARE FAMILY!<\/p>\n<p>The chapter began this renovation thanks to the early donations from alumni and parents who cherish the Kappa experience at UVA. We still need $500,000 to fund our construction costs and ensure the chapter\u2019s long term financial health.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/aig.uvaalumni.org\/kkg\/support\/\">Support Kappa Kappa Gamma\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In January, when the members return for recruitment, the house will be open and furnished.
