Senior Spotlight: Rachel VanValkenburg

Rachel is graduating in English, with an emphasis in Literary Studies and a minor in Business. She is currently seeking admission to Graduate School!

Rachel's favorite Kappa Delta tradition is White Rose Weekend because "everyone is there and we are all reminded of the ritual that connects us." 

Her piece of advice for Beta Delta sisters? "I would say that these years are important in figuring out who you are and what you want. Use them. Don't let anyone tell you who to be--take everything in stride and grow from it. Always strive for what is honorable, beautiful, and highest. Remember that no one can reach perfection, but we can improve upon who we were yesterday." 

Congratulations on graduation, Rachel! We can't wait to see what incredible things you do. AOT. 

Senior Spotlight: Ashley Howard

Ashley Howard is graduating with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Criminal Justice. After graduation, Ashley says that she "plans to work as a probation officer while getting more accreditation and possibly going to grad school." 

Ashley's favorite Kappa Delta tradition is White Rose Weekend, because "it's the time you get to bond most with your sisters and talk to girls you  normally wouldn't be able to talk to." 

Ashley's piece of advice for her KD sisters is: "come to as many things as you can. You never know when the moment is that you realize that you made the right choice to stay in Kappa Delta, and to be as involved as you can. I got closer with our ritual through the leadership opportunities." 

Good luck, Ashley! Beta Delta will miss you and your friendship--but KD will always be your home. :)
