Philanthropy: Mental Health Matters

The Eta Chi Chapter found its home on NC State’s campus in October 2016, and since then has grown into a family of 175 amazing women. Kappa Kappa Gamma is an organization of women that thrives on friendship, academics, leadership, and tradition. It is a place where you are encouraged to grow, take on new opportunities, and become the best version of yourself, while always having a strong support system behind you! From meaningful philanthropy work to fun sisterhood events, Kappa makes college a place where you can truly enjoy every moment, while getting the most out of your experience. 
Mental health is at the heart of everything we do, which is why we support 6 different mental health organizations: Active Minds, the Jed Foundation, NEDA, Jack.org (http://jack.org/), NAMI, and Mental Health America. We also prioritize supporting one another and making sure every sister feels cared for, with every member having free access to Talkspace, a 24/7 virtual counseling platform. Locally, we support the philanthropy Feed the Pack, a campus food pantry dedicated to helping members of the NC State community. 
In support of mental health, Eta Chi hosts Miles for Mental Health every spring, a one-mile walk that brings the community together. In addition, we host an annual Mac and Keys event, where we raise money for one of the six organizations we support, and bring everyone together over mac and cheese! We also host our annual Shining a Light on Mental Health gala, raising funds for our philanthropy through raffle tickets and strong community support, all while continuing to spread awareness for mental health. We also love participating in other Panhellenic philanthropy events hosted by our panhellenic sisters!
While Mental health is our core philanthropy, sisters are also involved in several other campus fundraising events. We participate in Shack-A-Thon by building a shack to support Habitat for Humanity, and Dance Marathon, a 12 hour event that raises money for Duke Children’s Hospital. Additionally, we also take part in Service Raleigh, where we give back to our community through local service projects. Nationally, we support the Rose McGill fund, which provides grants for financial assistance for Kappas facing socioeconomic or physical hardships.   
Kappa is more than just an amazing organization. We are a fun-loving, diverse group of talented young women. Our sisters are involved on campus, participating in various clubs, academic fraternities, and beyond. Eta Chi offers opportunities for professional development, personal growth, and networking, providing resources for effective communication, organizational skills, and emotional health. From backing the pack at football games, holiday parties, work-out classes, traveling, movie nights, lip sync battles, and more, our sisters are always finding ways to spend time together and make the most of every moment.
We are family and we are sisters. This is a place where you are encouraged and challenged to become the best version of yourself, with support that extends far beyond graduation. We cannot wait to meet you and welcome you to NC State! Go Pack!
