ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

ACTIVE graduate chapters of LAMBDA KAPPA MU SORORITY may be found in major United States cities, with a concentration in the Northeast Region, ranging from Boston, Mass. to Newport News, Va., and the North Central Region as far as Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and including Chicago, Ill.

THE NATIONAL YOUTH PROGRAM OF LKM was organized in 1963. Known as the KOPELLES, the Youth Group represents a "directed" focus on building leadership for tomorrow through a program of good citizenship, guidance and cultural enlightenment among young women.

UNDERGRADUATE CHAPTERS are organized under the sponsorship of Graduate Chapters with KOPELLE ALUMNI serving as a nucleus for such groups. 

PROJECTED AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
SCHOLARSHIP  The Sorority endeavors to promote interest in business and/or professions. Scholarship aid is available for young women interested in furthering their education. Application for same may be forwarded to the National Office.

Local chapters provide scholastic and occupational counselling along with Youth Leadership Programs. Essay and Oratorical Contests are sponsored to stress the value of higher education, career preparation, and awareness of current issues. Open Forums are also effective along these lines.

ACHIEVEMENT  The LKM AWARDS PROGRAM provides for recognition of achievement of members as well as non-members. The program serves to stimulate interest in individual advancement, inspiring youth and adults alike. In a sense, it marks the progress of our race, our community, our nation.

SERVICE   The Sorority Motto "Mild in Manner, Strong in Deed" indicates acceptance of the responsibility of involvement, and acceptance of the challenge of usefulness - prerequisites for concerned citizens. LKM CHAPTERS contribute financial aid to social agencies serving basic needs of the community and place emphasis on volunteer service. NAACP LIFE MEMBERSHIPS are basic commitments, as are Community Action Programs.

Actual projects executed by chapters depend upon specific needs of individual communities, as well as interests of the members. Senior citizens and the handicapped are of particular concern.
