Founding Month filled with Service Activities
Members Reaffirm Commitment to Philanthropy While Celebrating 5 Years of Achievement

October proved to be a banner month for Kappa Alpha Lambda Sorority this year.  While celebrating the Sorority’s fifth year of service, members across the nation gave back through a variety of partner and organizationally sponsored programs.

Colonies and chapters planned a host of events marking several of the Sorority’s national commitments.  In addition to recent Halloween festivities, there were Members’ Only retreats and National Coming Out Day festivities.  Long standing partners of both the AIDSwalk and Susan G. Komen Foundations, more than 75% of the Sorority’s colonies and chapters participated in Breast Cancer Awareness events and AIDSWalk fundraising efforts.

“Kappa Alpha Lambda has always been dedicated to our philanthropic partnerships,” National President Elaine Banks stated.  “The Fall calendar is always full of activities, but the members make it happen because we value our commitment to the community.”

Other Sorority members would agree.  The members of Los Angeles Colony planned and completed eight separate events during the month. “It was certainly a lot to pull off,” one member said.  “But, it’s our duty.  Service comes first.  We’ve accomplished a lot in five years because of that focus.”

Dear Sorors, Friends, and Supporters,

Change has been a recurring theme in our country over the past few months.  In every sector from the housing market to the political arena, the world as we know it has become one of rapid, sweeping change.  In less than 120 days, our government will change in reflection of an historic event:

It is my sincere pleasure to, on behalf of Kappa Alpha Lambda Sorority, Incorporated, congratulate President-elect Obama on his historic achievement.  The leadership that he and Vice-President elect Joe Biden will provide will prove critical to the progressive movement of our country in a positive direction.

President-elect Obama’s policies reflect a mantra of hope, insight into the needs of our diverse American community, and inclusion.  With the help of the members of Congress, and the post appointments he will make shortly after Inauguration, our nation stands poised to impact the lives of theAmerican family and the global community.

We stand at the precipice of an opportunity never before seen in history, which may not be matched in our lifetime!  This is an exciting day, and members of Kappa Alpha Lambda remain committed to efforts in the political and philanthropic arenas.

In a continued show of support for the spirit of hope and change in America, Kappa Alpha Lambda is proud to announce our newly approved status as a certifying organization for the Presidential Volunteer Service Awards.  Kappa, in Her efforts to promote philanthropy in the LGBT community, encourages continual community-oriented involvement.  We are pleased to have been approved as the first  LGBT-oriented Greek lettered organization to hold this distinction.

To Continued Success,
