Service & Personal Excellence

Three Theta women attend EOS mission trip to Guatemala
EOS, Earthwide Outreach by Students, promotes local, regional, and international service learning. This club is offered by Hanover College and gets students involved in the betterment of the surrounding community as well as foreign communities. This year Theta had three sisters attend the mission trip to Guatemala. While there, these women helped build a playground for children. Volunteering more than twenty hours of their time each, these Theta ladies worked to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate. We are truly lucky to have such dedicated sisters!

Theta to Watch!
Lauren Harrison, a Freshman Theta, is shaking up Hanover College. Upon coming to Hanover in the fall, Lauren knew that she wanted to make a difference in the community. In order to do this she single handedly started a new club, Adopt-A-Grandparent. Thornton Terrace is a nearby nursing home with quite a few residents. Inspiring her into action, Lauren decided to start a buddy system to help integrate Hanover students into this home. Adopt-A-Grandparent was so successful in its first year that it was awarded the Outstanding Contribution to the Community award at the 2013 Student Involvement Recognition Soiree. The principals and responsibilities of are an inspiration for me to continue my lifelong pursuit of success. As a Theta, I strive to be a supportive sister, good student, and wish to gain leadership experience within the house, as well as through being an asset in assisting with philanthropic events, Lauren Harrison.

our song chair, Sarah Gouker, is Panhellenics Programming Director. All three of these women are very dedicated and hard working. Kappa Alpha Theta truly does breed strong leaders and her members are constantly proving that as they strive to become active members in the Hanover community.

Until the Violence Stops

Every year Hanover College hosts an event called the Vagina Monologues, each monologue deals with an aspect of the feminine experience. Eight of our sisters directly participated in this event, helping raise money and awareness for the Until the Violence Stops campaign. Careen Turner, a Junior Theta helped host the event and states, seeing so many Thetas in leadership roles across campus really encouraged me to want to do the same. This years V-day event was an amazing experience and it was so nice to have so many sisters involved.
