Texas State Day 2018
Is this event only for alumnae?
TIA |
I've never heard of non-KDs attending. It's not ritual or anything but basically just for KDs.
Oh, do you mean collegiates? They could attend, sure. |
It's out bi-annual get together here in Texas. It's put on by a Texas Alumnae chapter and because the state is so big we generally change locations between North Texas area, Houston, Austin and San Antonio. This year it is sponsored by our Richardson/Plano Alumnae Chapter. Some years there are lots of collegians in attendance but for the past 8 years it's been mostly alumnae. Anyone is welcome so if you want to come with your KD daughters you are more than welcome to attend. We have breakout sessions and this year we are focusing on women in business. We have three talented KD women who founded their own companies including Patricia Miller co-founder of Vera Bradley who will be a part of that. Also, the Director of Girl Scouts in North Texas will be speaking.

Thank you! Yes, I was asking about my collegian daughter. Wasn’t sure she knows about it, but I’ll tell her about it if she’s allowed.

I know at least four TAMU - College Station Collegians are coming,
maybe more. That's the only chapter I know about. I also know that the Richardson/Plano Alumnae Chapter posted on the Dallas Mom's Club facebook page so I'm assuming moms are invited. PM me for more info if you would like. |
That’s great to hear! Sent you a PM

APHi2KD,
Hello! I am on the organizing committee, and collegiate members are most definitely invited! We have tried to communicate that message through letters to the chapters (I think), information via advisors, and on the collegiate chapter Facebook pages. Our speakers include Pat Miller, who is a Kappa Delta alumna and one of the co-founders of Vera Bradley Designs, our NVP-Alumnae, Tove Thomas, NVP-Membership, Karen Fesmire, and the CEO of Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas. I think that their messages would be of interest to woman of any generation. I hope that your daughter decides to attend! |
Hi, KD4Me—
Thank you!! She registered last night and is trying to find other chapter sisters to join her. She hadn’t heard about it, but is really excited. I know she’d love to meet collegians from other TX schools and has met very few alumnae, so this is right up her alley. Thanks so much for the info! |
My daughter had a WONDERFUL time and is SO glad she went! It was daunting to go as only a rising sophomore and not knowing a soul, but she was made to feel very welcome! She’s exhausted, but very inspired by you all and the continuing and genuine sisterhood she witnessed.
Thanks to everyone who reached out and especially to Just Interested for seeking her out in the crowd and introducing her around!! ❤️ |
I'm thrilled she had such a good time. She is lovely and it makes me proud that she's a KD. Also, excited she is living in the house next year and was able to visit with her CAB and HCB chairmen. We had a lot of fun visiting. It's always a good time.
