President's Welcome

Hi all! My name is Margo Kapp, and I am beyond honored to represent Eta Rho’s chapter serving as president through 2023. I am a fourth-year business major with a minor in event planning and management. Prior to my position as president, I was Kappa's new member chairman. This position allowed me to further develop my passion for Kappa, and largely influenced my decision to continue my leadership role within the sorority the following year. 

I never could've imagined the impact that joining Kappa has had on my college experience and life. When I signed up for recruitment my freshman year in the middle of a global pandemic, surrounded by constant uncertainty, the thought of leaving home to attend a university I had never even toured provoked fear of the unknown. I found myself scared of making the wrong choices, and questioning every day if this was the right place for me. However, I never anticipated the relief I would experience upon finding my second home, within the world of Kappa Kappa Gamma. The split decision to participate in online recruitment during my freshman year changed the course of my college path. The powerful, positive, and passionate women I met throughout recruitment washed away my heightened fears as a result of the pandemic. 

My sophomore year, in an effort to gain more involvement within Kappa as pandemic restrictions slowly lifted, I decided to live in the sorority house. This led me to bond with other members and create long-lasting friendships over shared dinners, farmers market trips, and 7-11 runs on California Blvd. Thus Kappa’s role as my second home continued to expand, as I made 22 lifelong friends within the blue walls of the Kappa house. As my love for the sorority, with all it had provided for me, only continued to grow, I challenged myself by applying for Executive Board. My position as New Member Chairman allowed me to interact with and guide young members, who found themselves in a similar situation to mine at the start of college. This inspired a new sense of purpose and passion, confirming my love for leadership and my home away from home, KKG. 

As I transitioned to my role as president, I experienced a family emergency that altered my priorities, mental health, and life perspective. Through these difficult times, it led to a deeper appreciation of Kappa and what it represented for me. Kappa became an oasis, a sanctuary of love and support for my family and the struggles we endured.

My love for Kappa has only continued to grow and flourish as my friends show me what it truly means to be part of a sisterhood. I am touched to be part of such an empowering group of women who care for each other and truly define what it means to be a sorority. As my appreciation for Kappa only continues to develop over time, I am reminded of the gratitude I hold for this organization and how it has changed with me over the past four years. One thing remains certain: the special place Kappa holds in my heart. I am beyond excited for what this year will hold for the Eta Rho chapter and the lucky women who get to call KKG their second home!
