The chapter hosted “RedPrint: Building Your Professional Blueprint,” a business and career fair connecting students with sorors and local professionals. Through “Feeding with Fortitude,” members raised funds and collected food donations for the local soup kitchen, where they also volunteered. During “1913 Seeds for Success,” members promoted personal growth through seed planting and reflection. Almighty Kappa Gamma also partnered with the Greenwood Alumnae Chapter to host a voter registration drive, empowering students and community members to make their voices heard.
