Fall term is in full swing, and the brotherhood is as active as ever. The '19s have returned to campus and a (mostly) intact house, and we are beyond excited to be able to bond with our '20s and welcome some new '21s now that the suspension period is over. The term got off to a good start with our Y2Kappa throwback dance party on the first weekend, which was a great success.

Brothers have also been taking advantage of the beautiful early-fall weather and surroundings that only Hanover has to offer. We have been going on several day trips in the area, including to the Trues Ledges area, which has a beautiful creek and waterfalls, which provide a refreshing break from campus on a hot day. Several brothers are also planning more ambitious hiking trips to Mt. Washington in the coming weeks before the weather changes.
Despite the allure of the beautiful weather, the brotherhood remains very focused on philanthropy and academics. Brothers have orchestrated efforts to assist Students Fighting Hunger and the upcoming CHaD Hero race, which benefits the Children's Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. Additionally, academic talks with professors are in the works, and hopefully we will start the planning process for an academic mixer soon.
Our programming chairs have also been active, as we have held a series of brotherhood barbecues. Nothing is nicer than watching the sun set across campus while enjoying burgers on the front lawn.

On the rush front, our rush chairs have been very hard at work re-establishing our presence on campus following the suspension. In the past few weeks, the rush chairs and the brotherhood as a whole have been holding multiple events to better get to know the potential rushees. The culmination of our pre-rush efforts was a brothers-rushees paintball event at AG Paintball this past Sunday. Thanks to generous donations from several alums, we were able to take over twenty brothers and rushees to have a truly unforgettable day.

Leading up to rush, the house will be in full swing making sure that our next generation of Kappa men lives up to the incredible standard of generations past. Alumni who are in the Hanover area this weekend (9/28 and 9/29) are encouraged to come to IFC Rush from 7-9pm at the Kappa Lodge each night. We look forward to seeing some of you up here for rush and/or Homecoming in the coming weeks.
YiK,

2018-2019 Vice President
