Brunch and Bras

At this brunch, we are going to catch up with each other, and pass out the underwear that our chapter won at convention. We will also have an underwear drive, and give the new undies to Women and Children First, as many families leave home with very little of their personal belongings to leave abusive situations. We hope you can make it out!

Date:

Time:
10:00am - 12:00pm
Location:
Mimi's Cafe

Recent CAKD Events
Central Arkansas Kappa Deltas got together for Dinner at US Pizza in North Little Rock on July 24th,, and also helped prepare 13 care packages for collegiate chapters of our active CAKD members on July 29th with a Mexican Fiesta at the Home of Angela Plymale. Care packages were sent to Zeta Gamma (University of Arkansas), Epsilon Chi (Baylor University), Beta Lambda (Georgetown College), Sigma Sigma (Iowa State University), Delta Omega (Mississippi State University), Nu (Oklahoma State University), Alpha Delta (Rhodes College), Gamma Kappa (University of Louisiana, Lafayette), Delta Zeta (University of Louisiana, Monroe), Alpha Mu (University of Mississippi), Epsilon Alpha (Missouri University of Science and Technology), Eta Epsilon (University of the South), and Zeta Psi (Valparaiso University). We hope our collegiate sisters enjoy their goodies, and we hope to expand our care package send off in the coming years. We’d love to hear your suggestions for chapter support, especially if you are a recent graduate. What do you think the chapters would enjoy getting from our alumnae chapter
