As KC Alumnae, we celebrate our new members, collegiate sisters, and alumnae. I have a passion for remembering the contributions of our sisters and honoring them as they bridge to Chapter Eternal. I periodically send updates to National Office so the change in status can be made. I thought I would share the names with Kansas and Missouri ties as you may recognize a family friend or acquaintance, a pledge sister, or a chapter advisor. Here are our sisters who have departed this physical life who were updated in the last month:
