 We celebrated Founders Day by inviting local alumnae to a Monday night dinner. We were able to witness two Kappa alumnae receive their 50 year pins and perform the Founders Day ceremony. We plan to hold additional events to celebrate Kappa's sesquicentennial anniversary and the 150th anniversary of Colorado State University.

+The Epsilon Beta Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma faced many changes this calendar year due to COVID-19. When we first went online in the spring of 2020 we decided to not hold our usual chapter meeting over Zoom but instead we provided the chapter information through a slide show link and video announcements. Chapter Council continued to keep up morale with letter writing chains and virtual member engagement. The Black Lives Matter protests affected many of our members as they worked to combat racism and prejudice in our country. We came back to campus in the fall of 2020 for a semester of hybrid learning. The Kappa house was filled to limited capacity with only 45 people in the 68 capacity house. Chapter meetings were fully virtual throughout the semester. We had two quarantines in our chapter facility, so we used Chapter Council budgets and house board money to get extra goodies for our members in quarantine. We had a very successful virtual recruitment via Zoom. We conducted a virtual initiation ceremony. We still invited legacy relatives to participate in this beautiful ceremony, so it was a wonderful experience for all involved. We had virtual Chapter Council elections and transitions before Thanksgiving break.

+Epsilon Beta was a huge advocate for the Black Lives Matter movement over the summer and would continuously post informational sources and ways people could help the movement.
+This year Epsilon Beta decided to dedicate our Bid Day to Kappa's 150th birthday. Our theme was Happy Birthday Kappa and we had banners and shirts wishing Kappa a happy 150th.

		+	==Highlights of 2019==
		+
		+	In the last year Epsilon Beta has held many sisterhoods, chapter meetings, social events educational programming and philanthropy events. Many of the chapter's goals, such as raising money for the Catie Abeyta Scholarship, holding great sisterhood events, and recruiting a great new pledge class were met. The chapter won an award from Fraternity and Sorority Life for Chapter Management in 2018. There were also some challenges this year that were overcome. Chapter Council made some decisions that were best for the chapter, but the members did not like. This was met with backlash, but overall the chapter grew from these decisions. Recruitment numbers for all of Panhellenic decreased drastically this year, so our new pledge class was much smaller than usual. This smaller pledge class was difficult for the chapter budget, but the smaller size allowed them to get closer than other pledge classes have been during their first semester.
		+
		+	Panhellenic Council added a new chapter to campus, Phi Mu. This was a great addition to the campus and got many students involved in Greek life that would not otherwise have been involved. The University's President stepped down and a new President took his place. President, Joyce McConnell, has been a great University President this past semester. The chapter's overall nature has changed so much over this year. In the spring, the chapter was not very close in their sisterhood and overall attendance was down. The fall semester was much better. The chapter morale improved and sisterhood was better. Attendance has been better but is still something we need to work on.
		+
		+	The chapter continues to raise funds for the Catie Abeyta Scholarship, Reading is Fundamental and the Kappa Foundation.

We plan to hold additional events to celebrate Kappa's sesquicentennial anniversary and the 150th anniversary of Colorado State University.

		+	==Highlights of 2018==
		+
		+	Chapter Council started the year with several goals. It was our hope to help the women of Epsilon Beta to feel more involved in chapter life and engaged in what Kappa is. We focused on living our ritual and making the ideals of Kappa more accessible to everyone. Chapter Council also focused on helping the chapter to maintain its improvement in academics. The chapter ranked 3rd on campus with a spring chapter GPA of 3.28. Although the expansion of our chapter house was not complete for our annual work week, it was finished for formal recruitment, allowing us to show our potential new members our new chapter room. We are now able to all eat together and move straight into chapter meeting rather than meet on campus.
		+
		+	We also enjoyed a variety of social events including Mom's Day in the spring and Dad's day in the fall. We also held our senior send off formal in the spring and the Sapphire Ball in December along with various date dashes and socials.
		+
		+	For our philanthropies, we had two main events. In the spring, we held Kappa Con Queso, where people could come by and get chips and queso and enjoy spending time with our chapter. In the fall we held Kamp Kappa in honor of Catie Abeyta, a member of our chapter who died in a tragic skiing accident. The money raised at Kamp Kappa is used for a scholarship in Catie's name.

		+	The University has completed a new natural resources building on campus. Additionally, the CSU Panhellenic welcomed Phi Mu into our Panhellenic Association.

The size of the university has also more than doubled. The current enrollment is 18,411. Colorado State’s colleges include Agricultural Sciences, Business, Engineering, Forestry and Natural Resources, Home Economics, Humanities and Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, and Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. The College of Veterinary Medicine is considered one of the nation’s best.

 Epsilon Beta Chapter was colonized in the fall of 1955. Due to a lessening of interest in sorority and fraternity membership since the 1960’s, several Greek chapters at Colorado State closed, but enthusiasm is still strong for Epsilon Beta. Outstanding girls are pledged, and there is capacity housing for 60 members.

		+
		+	The biggest change to the CSU campus occurred in the fall of 2017 with the addition of the new CSU football stadium. It is a real source of pride for all of us.
		+
		+	2017 was a year with constant growth and achievement. Our chapter had a spring GPA of 3.12 and in fall it was 3.06. We spent time with our families with Mom's Day in the spring, Dad's Day in the fall and Parent's Weekend in October. We also enjoyed our spring and fall formals as well as socials and date dashes.
		+
		+	Philanthropy remained a big focus for the chapter. First we held Kickin It With Kappa, a soccer tournament, and then Kamp Kappa, where we cooked hotdogs and roast smores. The funds we raise during Kamp Kappa go to a scholarship fund for an Epsilon Beta sister who died in a skiing accident. We also participated in CSUnity, a schoolwide event where students serve in the community in some way. Our members also volunteer with a large number of organizations on campus and in the community.
