SkeeWeek was held March 31-April 6. The week included seminars and workshops to educate UNLV students on issues ranging from breast cancer and STD awareness to relationship issues and economic empowerment. The week ended w/ a BBQ where they announced over $135 had been raised that week to donate to the American Cancer Society.

On April 9, the chapter participated in a “unity” step with other NPHC organizations in an exhibition held on campus. The step was performed during NPHC’s Unity Fest on UNLV’s campus and included a short display of steppers from each organization.

During the week of April 21-26, UNLV sponsored Greek Week to honor and feature all greek organizations on campus. Kappa Xi received awards for their collaborative event Jazzitudes and Soror Ebony Sullivan was awarded the “Outstanding New Member” award.

During the last week in April, Kappa Xi members went to dinner and church together and exchanged special gifts with one another. These efforts satisfied the requests of 2nd Supreme Anti-Basileus, Soror Jatisha Marsh, in her call for participation in an Undergraduate Week to build sisterly relations.
