Letter From The Chief Executive Officer
Welcome to the Eta Mu chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta at Occidental College! We are a diverse group of college women that values scholarship, service, leadership, and personal excellence and strives to create the widest influence for good in our communities. Our members have a wide variety of interests, majors, and hobbies, and many of them hold leadership positions in a varietyof other organizations both on and off campus.
Membership in Kappa Alpha Theta provides a number of opportunities. Not only does Theta connect us with other intelligent, talented, and ambitious women, but it also gives us a space to grow and learn from each other. We are able to do this through a wide array of programming planned and led by our officers, which ranges from fun sisterhood events like movie nights and trips to the Melrose Trading Post, to service events like trail clean-ups in Malibu and working with homeless women in the LA area, to exciting and classy events like our spring and winter formals. We are also proud to support our national philanthropy, Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), through fundraising events like our annual, campus-wide dodgeball tournament in the spring. Through all of these experiences, we are able to form lasting friendships, create a strong support system for our members, and work to improve the lives and communities in the greater Los Angeles area.
Joining Theta has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. Not only have I met some of my best friends through this organization, but I have also been able to grow personally and professionally through Theta’s leadership opportunities and extraordinary support system. I have been welcomed into a community that stretches all across the nation, and I am especially grateful to be connected with each and every one of the incredible members of my chapter. I welcome anyone who is interested in joining our sisterhood and participating in our wonderful
traditions to contact me with any questions regarding our chapter or our recruitment process.
Theta Love and Mine,
Mia Smutny
