Why Kappa Phi Lambda?

Kappas is the home that I didn't realize I was missing during my time in college. Even though I joined pretty late in my college career, it finally feels as though I have found my place here in Gainesville with strong and independent women that constantly push each other to be the best versions of themselves. It has been through Kappas, that I feel like my true self and have the unconditional love and support from my big and my sisters.

About Me:

Hi! I'm a 4th year Biology major and an aspiring anesthesiologist assistant. As much as I like staying home and binge watching Netflix, I'm also always down for anything! I love finding random good music on Spotify. I mostly listen to edm and pop, so if you want any recs, lmk!

Why Kappa Phi Lambda?

Coming to college, I had no idea what I was doing or how to start getting involved. Kappa has given me so many opportunities to better myself academically, professionally, and socially. I've been able to find my home away from home within Kappa with all the love and support I've gotten from my sisters.

About Me:

Hello! I'm from Jacksonville, Florida, and I'm the type to go with the flow! Don't ask me for my favorite genre of music; I don't have one. I can go from a sad song to a pop one to country (yes I love country music) to Kpop to EDM to musicals. I love listening to old-school Kpop and watching Kdramas. Short day trips out of the city are my favorite! In fact, I just love traveling overall (I don't like planning specific details out though; I just wing it). My family owns two boba stores, which explains why I'm always addicted and pretty picky about my boba drinks. In my free time, I love watching movies and just hanging out with the people I love.

Why Kappa Phi Lambda?

Throughout my college career, I was always looking for a support system that stayed consistent. Having had many friends in Kappa Phi Lambda before rushing, I was always inspired by the bonds the sisters have with each other and how they support one another unconditionally. Kappa Phi Lambda has made me stronger and more confident in myself. I am thankful to be surrounded by sisters who are proud of who I am and what I stand for.

About Me:

In my free time, I like to stay active with sports like volleyball and tennis. Playing sports with friends is also my way of relieving stress from the strenuous school work. I haven't figured out what I want to pursue yet, but it will probably be something in engineering or the health sciences. I'm involved with CASA sports and dance, but I want to further involve myself on campus. I love watching good movies that will make me cry and grabbing food with friends. I don't like pizza though. The first ten years of my life I lived in Shenzhen, China and now I live in South Florida #broward. My aspirations in life right now are to figure out what I want to do in life, make new friends and be happy 🙂

Why Kappa Phi Lambda?

When I first moved to Gainesville, I was overwhelmed by the college life and the lack of support being away from home. But ever since the first rush event, I knew Kappa Phi Lambda was something that I wished to be a part of. It was the bond between sisters and the support from each sister that appealed to me. The experiences through Kappa Phi Lambda have already enhanced me into a better and more professional person and I'll only continue to grow.
