Chapter Officers
Hannah Helmke
President
From the moment I stepped into this chapter, I felt an immediate sense of peace and belonging like I had finally found where I was meant to be. Kappa has been more than just an organization to me; it has been a constant source of strength, joy, and purpose throughout the most formative years of my life. Over the past three years, this chapter has gifted me unforgettable memories, friendships that have turned into family, and a sisterhood that continues to inspire me every single day. The bonds I’ve built within these walls are stronger than words can express rooted in love, trust, and a shared commitment to something bigger than ourselves. Serving as Chapter President is one of the greatest honors I’ve ever had. It’s my chance to give back to the organization that has shaped me in such meaningful ways. My hope is that every member whether they joined years ago, just received their bid, or will one day call Kappa home feels the same warmth, support, and sense of purpose that I did the day I walked in. This chapter is filled with brilliant, compassionate, and driven women who uplift each other and lead with heart. I am endlessly proud to represent this sisterhood and even more excited to continue helping it grow. Together, we are creating something truly special and the best is still to come.

VP Standards
Kappa to me is: genuine, honest, supportive, loving, and most of all home. The sisterhood of kappa kappa gamma is truly something that is so special. Walking into the lodge freshman year during recruitment I knew that this sisterhood would be something that would shape my college years! This sisterhood is something that is so sweet and each of the girls never fail to make me smile and I am truly so blessed to be able to have such an amazing group of girls that I know will be there for me anytime! I am forever grateful for Delta Psi Kappa for giving me lifelong friendships and a place I can call home ! I chose to run for VP Standards to ensure the members of our chapters know they are genuinely cared for and that I want the best of them when it comes to the bylaws of Kappa.
