Service and Vice Presidents of Public Relations for the first IGD. Many collegiate and alumnae chapters received local media coverage for their events. Confidence Coalition Confidence Coalition raises awareness of the issues surrounding self-esteem, including bullying, hazing, relational aggression, risky behaviors, etc. Kappa Delta collegians and alumnae have enthusiastically embraced the Confidence Coalition. Many chapters included the confidence theme in their IWFM celebrations. Some used the “Go Confidently!” handbag collection, and a lot have used the “You Make Me Smile” campaign, resulting in great campus and community visibility for KD. The Confidence Coalition now has 50 members, including recent additions – the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media and the Junior League of Greater Princeton. All of the CC members are providing confidence-building programming and many are promoting the Confidence Coalition on their websites or through social media. Mary Kay, Inc. joined as a CC supporter with a grant of $5,000. The Confidence Coalition website launched in September 2010 and the communications department created a Visual Standards Guide for the Confidence Coalition. The 13-page guide includes key branding information about colors, fonts and logo usage for the coalition as well as International Women’s Friendship Month and International Girls Day. In September 2010, Phired Up Productions, an education firm providing Greek recruitment services and social excellence training to college communities, joined the Confidence Coalition with its “Be Bold. Be Confident” program. The communications team released a press release encouraging collegiate chapters to utilize the program when looking for a confidence-related speaker. For each workshop booked, Phired Up donates $350 to the Confidence Coalition. In December, Kappa Delta and the Confidence Coalition awarded $27,000 to seven universities through the “Confidence U” grants. Kent State University, the University of Kentucky, the University of San Diego, the University of Virginia and Wittenberg University each received a $5,000 grant. Creighton University and Western Kentucky University each received a $1,000 grant. Additionally, Andrea Battaglia, Director of Greek Life and Student Involvement at Drury University, was the recipient of the $1,000 individual “Confidence U” grant. Headquarters received positive feedback about this grant opportunity, a great way to bridge the gap between the national organization and Greek life offices. Future plans include exploring strategic partners, such as Girls Inc., the Red Hat Society, Nashville to You and the Secret “Mean Stinks” project; and how best to utilize the Confidence Coalition Advisory Team. Upcoming projects include: a confidence documentary in partnership with Helene Lerner, an Emmy Award-winning producer; a healthy media program for college campuses in partnership with the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media; and an advocacy and political leadership training program for college women in partnership with the White House Project.
