January 2010 Newsletter
January Eta Sigma Colony Events
Eta Sigma will have a busy month with 3 separate CDC visits, Second Degree, and Initiation this month. Check your calendars to see if you can help out on any of the following days:
• January 14th at 6:00 PM– New Member Exam. Eta Sigma is in need of non-CAB proctors for this event in
the UALR Donaghey Center, Room D. CAB will be meeting with the CDC national officer in town at that
time, and so we are in need of some KDs to help out for that night. Contact Jessica Holcomb at kdjesi570@hotmail.com or 479-979-8300.
• January 18th at 5:00 PM – Second Degree. Because of CDC and colony scheduling, 2nd Degree has been
planned for a time when no national officer, or assisting chapter, can help with the Eta Sigma 2nd Degree
ceremony. The Eta Sigma CAB has been placed in charge of preparing and presenting the 2nd degree ceremony to the Eta Sigma New Members. This event is much more meaningful if we have Kappa Delta sisters attend and start the first step to welcoming the sisters into our sisterhood. We will have a review at 5 pm in the UALR Donaghey Center, Room D; with the ceremony starting at 6 pm. Contact Rachel Lipsey at
rachel.lipsey@sbcglobal.net or 501-413-0954 if you can help us out.
• January 23rd at 2:00 PM – Initiation. Zeta Omega (Memphis) chapter will prepare and present Initiation for
Eta Sigma at UALR Donaghey Center, Room D. You are invited to come and participate, as well as help
prepare and serve at in the Initiation Reception following. While there is no real need to practice (as Zeta
Omega collegians will take the lead in this ceremony), we can offer a review if members would like. Contact
Rachel Lipsey at rachel.lipsey@sbcglobal.net or 501-413-0954 if you plan to participate.

CAKD Magazine Sales 2009-2010
National Kappa Delta asks each member to support the Chapter Housing Fund by participating in magazine sales each year. In the past, our alumnae chapter has not been active in magazine sales, but we did want to let our alumnae know about the magazines available for those “hard to buy” friends and family as we prepare for the Holiday gift giving season. Also, if you or
your family has a business that subscribes to magazines for your waiting room; there is also a special emphasis on renewals this year. Our chapter’s e-fundraising site is here: http://www.magfundraising.com/GroupPage.aspx?e=1156217. Please considering helping out the Kappa Delta’s chapter housing fund!
