Through Her Estate Continued from Page 1 Janie Gildow says. The friendships she’s made, as well as the ritual, have meant the most to Janie. Speaking of the latter, both her father and stepfather were Presbyterian ministers and so she was comfortable and acutely aware of the gravitas of Kappa’s ritual procedures. The Kappa ritual is special and dependable and all Kappas have that unique connection to cherish forever. When the Kappa Foundation started asking for gifts for the Stewart House in the 1990s, one of the avenues for giving was by purchasing a brick for the home’s patio. Janie did not have the money roughly 30 years ago to make a gift, but now she has proudly included the Stewart House in her estate plan. She
is so glad to give back to Kappa in this way. Janie’s paternal grandmother’s name was Minnie Sharpe and her father graduated from Monmouth, magnifying her interconnection to Kappa Kappa Gamma and its Alpha chapter. “Anything I can pass along to the Monmouth Kappas and the Minnie Stewart House, I am happy to do,” Janie says.
