Are doing

GREAT THINGS!

Tessie Ledesma

Tessie was recently crowned as Miss Lone Star State. She says "It is truly a blessing to represent Kingsville & my hometown, Mercedes as well as the RGV. I want to thank everyone for all the support! All glory to God! Looking forward to an amazing year as Miss Lone Star State."

Tessie also helped to produce Lady Gaga’s halftime show for The Big Game! The University of Texas A&M Kingsville even made a commercial about her great accomplishment. Way to go, Tessie! You make KDChi proud.

Karen Lopez

Karen is an inspiration! She is mother of six children and full time student studying women's and gender studies at Texas A&M University. Not only is she a first-generation American but she is also a first generation student and she will be graduating this coming May.

Although things became difficult for Lopez, she said her support system made attending school, home schooling her children and being a member of Memorial Student Center Student Conference on Latinx Affairs and Kappa Delta Chi on campus possible.
