What is this?
Due to the recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, cases in the United States have increased and many states and cities have declared states of emergency. In an effort to reduce the spread the virus, some schools have decided to suspend classes temporarily. This in turn affects Kappa Phi Lambda's sorority activities. This website is intended to help provide guidance should the virus affect your local chapter or associate chapter's functions.

How does this impact our New Member Process?
How does this impact our New Member Process?
For chapters or associate chapters whose universities have documented suspensions, closures, or otherwise modified ability to meet, university guidelines are prioritized over sorority guidelines. If the university requests that NMP activities must be halted until further notice, then all NMP activities must cease temporarily.
If your university allows the continuation of NMP activities during university closure and/or remote classes, please provide documentation. Your respective Program Advisor will help accommodate the New Member Process to be held remotely. Only major activities such as deliverables, meetings, and Initiation will be required for Potential New Members to cross. All other activities including but not limited to Library Hours, Bonding Activities, and Class Meals will be completely optional to complete the NMP but should be held remotely. No PNM or sister should be penalized for not physically attending NMP events due to school closures, restrictions, and advised policies.
