Kappa Delta Chi is proud to announce the addition of four newly inducted chapters to our national sisterhood. These groups have worked tirelessly to prove to their campuses and surrounding communities that they truly uphold the values of unity, honesty, integrity and leadership. We are so proud to have them aboard to make even more impact in the communities we serve.
This fall, four additional chapters will return to their respective campuses to represent Kappa Delta Chi Sorority around the nation. At this summer's KDChi National Leadership Conference held in Austin, Texas June 10-12, Our KDChi family officially inducted Beta Lambda chapter at the University of California, Merced, Beta Mu chapter at Portland State University, Beta Nu chapter at Emporia State University, and Beta Xi Chapter at the University of South Carolina.
KDChi, Sigma Chapter Alumna Andrea Flores worked closely with the groups to bring them through the process. "Each group was persistent in bringing KDChi to their respective universities. If an obstacle arose preventing them from moving
forward, they'd brainstorm ways in which to keep the members motivated and engaged. I hold each chapter in high regard andhave no doubt that they will have successful futures on campus and in the community," Flores shared.
KDChi’s National Conference served as a celebration for the newly inducted chapters and an opportunity for these women to connect with other sisters and feel the energy of such a powerful network of women leaders. KDChi National President, Melanie Rodriguez was among the first to congratulate and hug the newly
inducted chapter members. “We are so excited to have these groups of women become official chapters of Kappa Delta Chi chapters has been inspiring,” she excitedly said.
As these new chapters return to their respective campuses this month, none will feel alone. They will know they have sisters to reach out to not only for advice but for anything they need.
And after attending this summer's National Leadership Conference, each one will have made friendships to last a lifetime.

Beta Beta Sister Makes Discovery During Internship
Thanks to Clarkson University junior Lindsay Cannistra's expertise in science, a major corporation and its customers can save time, money, and a valuable element called indium.
While studying chemical engineering, Cannistra interned at the Indium Corporation this summer
and tackled a problem that stumped the company’s researchers. She found a way to extract indium metal from what previously was a waste product. This was as exciting because indium -- which is used to manufacture popular products such as flat-panel displays -- is an excellent material for re-use. The Indium Corporation is committed to the development of ways to recover or recycle it.
“She did a very good job,” says Todd Ellenor, who directs research and development at Indium Corporation. We'd
say she was phenomenal! Way to break the mold sister!
