Brother SpotlightsKelly Esslinger: President
This convention was incredibly helpful! We also sold Kappa Kap-pa Psi letters and Tau Beta Sigma letters as a fundraiser and made a total of $205! We can’t wait to at-tend District Convention at Marist College next year! We are also try-ing our hardest to find funds to send Brothers to National Convention in Lexington, Kentucky this summer!

Hey! I’m Kelly Esslinger, aka, Kalippa! I’m a junior at KU, studying Spanish education with a minor in music (flute). In addition to being president of our Zeta Mu chapter, I’m secretary of the Organization for Latino Awareness/Sigma Delta Pi (National Hispanic Honor Society), secretary of the Honors Club, and secretary of the SPARK club on cam-pus (Students Promoting Acts of Recycling at Kutztown). I’m a busy gal but I’m having tons of fun! After I graduate I hope to become a Spanish teacher in a high school setting, and hopefully advise a music and/or community service club for the school. I always seek to make the world a better place! Music is definitely always changing my life for the bet-ter and I’m so thankful that I can serve the bands by being a Brother of Kappa Kappa Psi! I would love to hear from alumni Brothers, so please don’t hesitate to contact me at [email protected]!Fraternally yours, “Kalippa” President Kelly Esslinger poses as a WCU golden ram

Catch Up With the Sisters!
Alicia Miller: ARO, Parlamentar-ian, Secretary, and WebmasterHi! My name is Alicia Vanae Miller!! I am a sophomore at Kutztown University, and this is my third semester as a Brother. Outside of the Brotherhood I like to join other organizations that benefit the students such as the student government board. I am a psychology major and a music minor with a concentration in clarinet! After college, I plan to continue my education at a graduate school! I absolutely love being the Alumni Relations Officer because it is amazing to get to talk to you guys. I love hearing your stories and ideas for the chapter! I can’t wait to continue that through out this semester and possibly next year!! If you need to contact me about ANYTHING, even if it’s just to talk to a Brother, you know how! AEA, Alicia “Ali$ha” Miller #267
Hi everyone!!! So the sisters are go-ing about our business like we nor-mally do. Our one member MC class (Erica Milinowski) is doing great in her process and we think she is going to make a great sister! We recently had a game night with another soror-ity on campus and it went great and was a lot of fun! We also just had our second degree and it went really well. We will be having our 3rd degree on Sunday April 26. We are still trying to determine a time and will let you know as soon as possible. We would love for any sisters to come and join us, including alumni! Any Brothers and alumni Brothers who would like to join us afterwards at APD that would be great! We would love to have more brothers and sisters join us if possible. If there are any questions you can always email us and a sister will be in contact with you as soon as possible!
