President

Hi, my name is Madison Shumate and I am the current chapter President! I am currently a second year in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Cincinnati. I am going to school to pursue a career in Human resources. My dream would be to get a job for a cosmetics company and move to Tennessee. In my free time, I love to watch Youtube and play switch games at the house with my sisters. My favorite part about being in Kappa Delta is that I got to live in a house with all of my sisters. I have found my best friends while living in the house.

Vice President Member Education

Hi my name is (Emily) Walburn! I’m a second-year International Affairs and Political Science major with a certificate in War, Peace, and Security. One of my favorite experiences at UC was my study abroad trip to Belgium and The Netherlands exploring international institutions; if you ever want to hear about the European Union, NATO, or how good Belgian waffles are, I’m your girl. After I graduate from UC I want to continue my education and pursue a law degree. KD has given me a strong community and support system and I want everyone else to have that as well!!

Secretary

Hello! My name is Megan Wells, I am a Junior currently studying Marketing and sales in the college of business at UC! I enjoy drawing and painting as well as watching Netflix with my roommates! I love organizing things, especially the KD house. I am so thankful I joined Kappa Delta because of all the great sisters I have gained and all the leadership opportunities I have. I would have to say the moment I realized how much KD means to me is one of the first nights I moved into the KD house and there was a large group of us laughing until late at night in the common room. I felt so at home in that moment and continue to thank KD for bringing me so much joy and laughter!

Vice President Finance

Panhellenic Delegate

Hi all! I am Sydney Bahr, a second-year pre-med student. I am currently working on a Deaf Studies certificate as well as a Developmental Disabilities certificate. My ultimate career goal is to be a flight surgeon in the army so I can save the lives of those that protect our freedom. Kappa Delta has helped me to become the person I am today. When I started college, I was mentally in the worst place I have ever been and Kappa Delta took me in and gave me my self-confidence back and pushed me to be the best person I can be. I want to be this person for someone else and lead KD to continue to be a safe place for many more future sisters.
