Letter From the President
Welcome All!
My name is Kiana Klein Patton, and I am deeply honored to serve as the 2026 Chapter President for the Gamma Kappa Chapter of Delta Gamma at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Leading this chapter is something I hold with immense gratitude and responsibility. My goal as President is to lead with love first and to ensure that every member feels seen, valued, and genuinely appreciated. Gamma Kappa has been my safe space, my constant, and my source of strength the past 3 years. Stepping into this role feels both humbling and incredibly meaningful.
Throughout my time in Delta Gamma, I have experienced the power of this sisterhood when every member feels supported and empowered. Whether it’s through leadership opportunities, philanthropy, academics, or lifelong friendships, Gamma Kappa allows women to become their best selves.
This has shaped Delta Gamma to be so much more than a collegiate organization. It is a lifelong sisterhood built on shared values, accountability, and genuine care. What sets our chapter apart is not just what we do, but how we show up for one another every single day. Our members lead with compassion, support each other through challenges, celebrate each other’s successes, and create a space where growth and authenticity are encouraged. I truly believe this is one of the most hardworking and wholehearted groups of women, and I am proud to call them my sisters.
Our motto, Do Good, guides everything we do. From service and philanthropy to our everyday interactions, we are connected by a shared commitment to making a positive impact on our campus and beyond. With our philanthropy, Service for Sight, we are able to support the visually impaired community while educating ourselves on the importance of accessibility and advocacy. Rooted in compassion, this mission reminds us that ‘doing good’ is not just our phrase, but our responsibility.
Leading this chapter would not be possible without my driven, well-rounded Chapter Management Team. Being surrounded by these women who care so deeply about this chapter and its future makes me excited for everything we will accomplish together.
Another big thanks to all alumnae and existing members. Their uniqueness, kindness, and commitment to one another are what make Gamma Kappa so special.
To be constantly inspired and motivated by the women in this chapter is a privilege. It makes me so excited and proud for our year ahead. Thank you for trusting me with this role. I cannot wait to serve, support, and grow alongside all of you.
With love and ITB,
Kiana Klein Patton
