August 22 saw the newest residences of the Theta house have their cars unloaded and rooms filled by 31 ecstatic fellow sisters and friends. After 4 long months apart filled with work spanning all across the world, from Maine to San Francisco to Mumbai, we were eager to return to our new home-away-from-home. Although it was […]
This past summer, fellow KAT, Emma Taylor (3rd year), and I interned for the startup, Ayzh, in Chennai, India for two months. Ayzh is a social venture that designs appropriate technology for women in resource poor areas. Their signature product, JANMA, is a clean birth kit comprised of components advised by the World Health Organization […]
I spent this past summer interning for Hearst Magazines in New York, NY. Other than small internships here and there in high school, I had never really worked a day in my life. However, I assimilated to the Hearst lifestyle quite quickly. While at Hearst, I interned for the Public Relations Department as the personal […]
I’ve always pictured that my years as a Theta sister would end when I walked the lawn at graduation in 2018, but recently I’ve come to realize that Theta service can extend far beyond our time at UVA. There is no better example of a sister’s lifelong commitment to service than in our Delta Chi […]

The past ten years have seen work every summer: air conditioning in the entire house (before 2005, there was no AC in the house including the bedrooms!), repairing and upgrading the bathrooms, painting the entire house inside and out, refinishing […]
When I think back on my four years at UVA, I can’t help but wonder where the time went. It seems like just yesterday that my parents were dropping me off at my first year dorm. But then again, upon reflection, that version of myself seems quite distant. That’s the thing about time—it moves slowly […]
Last May, my brother entered treatment for alcoholism and addiction, and my family received a crash course in addiction. We were amazed by how little we knew about the disease, and how prevalent it was in our own community (and all communities). We found ourselves wishing we had known how to help my brother and […]
On April 21, 2015, the graduating fourth years gathered at the Kappa Alpha Theta House for the Senior Service. The service was to honor their commitment to Delta Chi through readings and ritual. Younger members of the chapter read different “I am Theta” quotes describing what it means to be a Theta; it’s about the […]
