SCHOLARSHIP

Kappa Alpha Theta’s beginning can be traced back to some of the first female students at Indiana Asbury College. These women were looking for ways to make friends and find support and encouragement for their academic pursuits. Scholarship is more than just grades; it is education in general. Our chapter facilitates several programs such as the Theta Academic Mentors, Common Ground Convos and more. As a chapter, we seek to provide education beyond the classroom that helps members to achieve their full potential as leading women.

AWARDS

Among the various awards our members receive each year from the university, we host our own Kappa Alpha Theta Scholarship Banquet each spring semester. Members that receive 4.0 GPAs are recognized, several scholarships are given out, and professors are invited and nominated for awards by our members. Not only are our members award-winning, but our chapter too. Most recently, Alpha Mu received the Golden Kite award at the 2018 Kappa Alpha Theta National Convention.

INTERNSHIPS

Each semester, we send a handful of our members out into the Columbia community and beyond its borders to gain real-world experience in their field of study. Previously, we have had members intern with Heart of Missouri CASA, Goldman Sachs, Barkley, Senator Claire McCaskill, Macy's, Nordstrom, Prada, Toyota, Anheuser-Busch, Morgan Stanley, the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, Fox News, Bread for the World, Payless Shoes, Google and so many more!

ACHIEVEMENTS

With scholarship as one of our core values, Alpha Mu has maintained a high standing in the Sorority All Chapter GPA report throughout the years. Each semester, our members strive to keep this trend going. Additionally, we have members who are tapped into numerous secret societies, recognized as members of Mizzou 39, celebrated in Homecoming Royalty, and receive many more awards and achievements on and off campus. In 2021, MC18 member Madison Herweck was crowned Homecoming Queen.
