For 2017-2018, we're mixing some well-loved classics, like our holiday party and our Art Alive outing, with exciting new events (mini golf, anyone?). KOK members enjoy a supportive community of sisters and valuable networking opportunities. Your membership dues help KOK support two local collegiate chapters--Iota Nu (UCSD) and Kappa Lambda (USD). A portion of your dues also goes to the national organization to keep Alpha Chi Omega strong across the country.

Get Involved with KOK
We're committed to increasing our membership this year, and we need your help! We're seeking a VP Membership, plus two members to work on membership recruitment and retention. If you were a superstar during collegiate recruitment, or if you're looking to give back to KOK, this is a great opportunity. For more details, contact KOK President Maya Botvinick.
Congratulations to Our Scholarship Recipients!
As part of our support for Iota Nu and Kappa Lambda, KOK funds two scholarships for deserving collegians. Get to know this year's recipients.
Amber Lord, Iota Nu
Amber is a senior who just joined Alpha Chi Omega last year. She got involved right away by serving as parent relations chair, where she put out a quarterly newsletter and planned Parents Day, and as team captain for the attendance team, where she helped keep sisters motivated to attend chapter events. She also works as a college ambassador with the department of undergraduate admissions. Amber joined Alpha Chi because she was seeking sisterhood, support, and lasting friendships, and she looks forward to continuing her involvement even after graduation.
Olivia Rohlk, Kappa Lambda
Olivia has help many positions with Kappa Lambda, including vice president of intellectual development, warden, programming representative, and personal development chair. Over spring break, she spent a week in Tijuana with University Ministries and volunteered at a home for abandoned women. Olivia says that membership in Alpha Chi has helped her become her best self, and she honored to be part of such an inspiring sisterhood.
Congratulations to Amber and Olivia!

At Art Alive in April, KOK members visited the San Diego Museum of Art to view floral arrangements inspired by works of art. We also enjoyed lunch at the Prado. Rachel Corell, pictured here with Stephanie Sibley, was in attendance with Zoe, her adorable little legacy.

And to fill space, here's a photo of Alexa and her husband, Greg Bible. The couple celebrated their birthdays in style at the Ritz-Carlton in downtown L.A. Alexa cashed in all the Marriott Rewards points she earned while traveling back and forth to her job at PayPal to make it happen.
