Senior Spotlight 2020

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic canceling in-person graduation and more, our graduating aKDPhi Class of 2020 sisters still have plenty of plans to overcome these difficult times! We are truly proud of their success as they were all a light to our chapter, and are excited to see how far they go!
