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.”
