Kappa Phi Lambda Update The sisters of Kappa Phi Lambda Sorority, Inc. would like to thank everyone who came to their Child Sex Trafficking Discussion Forum. The forum was well-attended and a great way to educate members of our community about the injustices that children in countries around the world face. In continuing support of this cause; Kappa Phi Lambda is sponsoring a child from the Half The Sky organization which is a non-profit organization started in 2000 that aims to provide family-like nurturing care in the lives of orphaned children. On December 2, the ladies of Kappa Phi Lambda will be leading a workshop about Asian Greeks during the annual IMPAACT conference in Connecticut.
