On April 3, 1982 –a “typical” sunny California morning –Southern California Kappa gathered for the installation of Kappa’s 109th active chapter, Zeta Eta. A school of its time, a school of the area, Irvine is flourishing where there were only bare hills before 1961. Now bursting with 12,000 students, it is well-known for its fine science, dance and drama programs and the seriousness of the student body. The architecture of the school, designed to fit into the Irvine hills, is California enhanced by the lush landscaping everywhere. UCI is a beautiful campus located in the unique master-planned community of Irvine and is just minutes from the gleaming coastal cities of Newport Beach, Corona del Mar, Laguna Beach and the charming little beach community of Balboa Island where many of the students reside. | On April 3, 1982 –a “typical” sunny California morning –Southern California Kappa gathered for the installation of Kappa’s 109th active chapter, Zeta Eta.
