Chapter Philanthropy
The Eta Rho Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma strives to give back to the community through our involvement with local organizations in need.
The Eta Rho chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma supports many different charities and organizations including Active Minds, the Central Coast Autism Center, and the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation.
Kappa Kickball
Kappa Kickball raises money for the Central Coast Autism Spectrum Center, our chapter's local philanthropy. We all feel that we know someone who is affected by autism in some capacity, and believe it is a positive way that we can directly impact our community. The center provides money for families affected by autism to help pay for various expenses such as doctor's appointments, as well as providing a community for families and giving them a safe space to feel love and support. We couldn’t be more proud to help support such an awesome organization that helps benefit members of our community here in SLO.
Kappa Kapture the Flag
Kappa Kapture the Flag is a Capture the Flag tournament hosted on-campus in the lower sports fields. It is a great way for many on-campus organizations to work together and build upon our Cal Poly community.
This event is held in support of Active Minds, a nonprofit our chapter chooses to support in line with our national philanthropy, Mental Health and Well-being. Here, through donations from friends and family, we are able to raise thousands of dollars to put toward the important cause of raising awareness and providing resources for teens and young adults facing mental health crises in our county.
In the years that we have been at Cal Poly, our chapter has been able to give back and make a difference in the SLO community and we cannot wait to see what the future has in store for us and our philanthropy events!
