Kappa Beta Gamma

Hey everyone my name is McKinley Harris, I am the Merits and Service hours as well as the tailgate chair holder. If you would have told me about 2 years ago that I would be in a sorority I probably would have laughed in your face. I was not the sorority girl and I really never believed I would be. I went to a COB dinner and I have never felt more welcomed in a new environment in my life! I genuinely found sister within this sorority and I know no matter what happens will always love and support me. We do have our rough moments; but at the end of the day I will do anything for these amazing people I have met along the way.

I came to know Kappa Beta Gamma at prep, and I first I put it to the back of mind since I really did not think sorority life was for me but when I did a one on one session with one of the girls, this is where I wanted to be. Kappa Beta Gamma brought me out of my shell and supported me throughout all the things I do. I can’t wait to see where I go in this sorority.

I’m Alexis Whitehead and I joined KBG my second semester on campus. I was seriously lonely and only had my roommate from high school, so finding a group of girls that were so open and caring was an amazing surprise. Originally I was against joining a sorority, but an active sister spoke to me after a shared class and invited me to eat with her and some other actives. Ever since then I have never felt out of place, and always loved my fellow KBG girls. I’ve really gotten out of my shell and thanks to my sisters I feel like I finally belong somewhere.

Hey there, I’m Janea, a sophomore pursuing social work. Initially, navigating the NMC process was daunting as the sole black girl, yet I’ve forged strong connections and discovered a true sense of belonging. Becoming a part of KBG stands as one of my most joyous moments, an invaluable experience that I cherish. I’m elated to have found a nurturing environment to develop and enhance myself.

Coming out of high school, I was not sure if I wanted to go Greek. I felt like I was not sorority material. Going to prep, I saw an old friend of mine at the KBG table. She told me all about KBG and I knew this was where I wanted to be. I will forever be thankful to that sister for introducing me to the family I didn't know I needed.

 My first semester at ULM was hard. I felt lost and alone. I struggled to make true connections with people on campus. I knew something had to change; I just wasn’t sure what. I was invited to a COB event, and I was certain I was going to leave disappointed. I was heavily influenced by the stigma held around Greek life across the nation. I attended the event, and, to my surprise, I fell in love with Kappa Beta Gamma. In just the short time I spent at the event, I felt seen, heard, cared for, and important. From that day on, I knew I belonged with these girls. They keep me going when I am down, and I know no matter what life may throw at me, they will always have my back. I went Greek, and I found my people, my self-confidence, my motivation, and my passion. I now have the greatest people to look up to and the best people looking up to me.

Hello, I'm Anna Barnette and I'm the current secretary of the Alpha Zeta Chapter. Coming to college, I had very few friends and was having a lot of trouble making new ones. I was a very shy person and tried to join other organizations, but they just weren't a good fit for me. In my spring semester, I had thought about joining a sorority but didn't know if it was right for me. I soon learned that KBG was the perfect fit and gave me so many opportunities beyond my expectations. I have finally gotten out of my shell and even stepped into big leadership roles. I have gained so much confidence that I wouldn't have had without these ladies'' constant support. I am forever thankful that I chose to be a Beta!!

I had wanted to join a sorority since my freshman year because my mom was in one in college, but it was never in the plans. I remember watching my friend Song go through Big/Little Week, and it seemed like so much fun! Then Song invited me to COB dinner, and I remember thinking that I wouldn’t be able to actually go through the initiation process. When I got there, everyone was so welcoming and kind, and I never felt left out of the conversation. I left there, and I immediately called my parents to talk to them and tell them that I knew that I wanted to be in Kappa Beta Gamma, and I’m so glad I did. I have felt nothing but love and inclusion from everyone since I got in the room for the COB dinner.
