		+	==Highlights of 2018==
		+
		+	In 2018, the Eta Epsilon chapter continued its excellence in the areas of academic excellence, philanthropy, sisterhood, and integrity.
		+
		+	Our spring 2018 chapter GPA was 3.66, the highest of all Panhellenic organizations on campus and higher than the all-women GPA at Johns Hopkins University. At Kappa’s national convention, our chapter was awarded the National Award for Most Improved Academic Excellence, for which our chapter is incredibly proud.
		+
		+	[[File:BidDay2018EtaEpsilon.jpeg\|thumb\|Celebrating Bid Day at Eta Epsilon.]]
		+
		+	For philanthropy, our chapter both hosted and participated in multiple events throughout the year, including our events Kones for Kappa, Kappacino, and Kappa Klassic, all in support of Reading is Fundamental, raising a total of $3700 throughout the year.
		+
		+	Additionally, our chapter had teams that participated in other organizations’ philanthropic events on campus, including Kappa Alpha Theta’s Rock the Casa, Alpha Phi’s 5k memorial race, Dance Marathon, among others.
		+
		+	Our chapter was also enriched through programming on many topics, including a presentation from Johns Hopkins’ sexual assault response unit, active listening & empathy training, sustainability, a resume workshop, and diversity and civic discourse discussion. Through these presentations, our members grew not only closer as sisters but also individually as scholastic, responsible women on the Hopkins campus.
		+
		+	In 2018, our chapter strove to embody female empowerment in multiple aspects. One way we did this through addressing the pervasive problem of sexual assault on college by raising awareness within the chapter through a presentation by Johns Hopkins' Sexual Assault Resource Unit, which aimed to teach our sisters how to communicate about sensitive issues concerning sexual assault in a way that empowers and supports survivors.
		+
		+	Additionally, each week we would highlight female achievement through "Kween of the Week", which was a spotlight on someone who was an especially inspiring female role model. Some spotlights included: Kirsten Gillibrand, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, and even some of our own chapter members who went above and beyond for our philanthropy events.
		+
		+	[[File:Eta Epsilon Fall 2018.jpeg\|thumb\|Eta Epsilon at its fall 2018 photo shoot.]]
		+
		+	Also, our council strove to connect our sisters to resources for improving mental health, including informing our chapter about the counseling center's services on campus and participating in active listening & empathy training.
		+
		+	Furthermore, our chapter aimed to support other Panhellenic women on campus by attending PAJH (Panhellenic Association at Johns Hopkins) events and fostering a more positive recruitment environment. One focus within the PAJH community this year was to be more inclusive of the multicultural organizations on campus when discussing recruitment and making sure to encourage PNMs to consider all of the wonderful organizations on campus.
		+
		+	Overall, in 2018 our chapter strove to be more inclusive, supportive, and empowering to our sisters and other members of our campus community.

 Again, all the proceeds went to RIF, and all the leftover food was donated to Our Daily Bread, a local soup kitchen. This fall we also started a book drive to benefit Reading is Fundamental in preparation for our philanthropy round during formal recruitment next  Spring. Moreover, in 2016 the sisters of Eta Epsilon continued their pledge to attend and participate in several philanthropic events on campus run by other campus student organizations and other Greek life organizations. These events included Dance Marathon, Relay for Life, President's Day of Service, Freshman Move-in/Orientation, The Tutorial Project, Powderpuff, Greek Week, and Johns Hopkins' Spring Fair Activities.
 House of Ruth and Our Daily Bread are two extremely charitable organizations in Baltimore that several sisters have donated their time to. As women, we particularly identify with the House of Ruth and their mission to house and protect victims of intimate partner violence and their children.

	In spring 2015, Eta Epsilon formed “Kappademics”, a Facebook page run by the Education chairwomen. This page fostered a sense of community by having sisters post where on campus they were studying and when. It allowed sisters to form study groups and prioritize time for academics. The sister who posted the most in the group and also attended study hours was awarded the prestigious title of “Geek of the Week”.

		+	In 2016, Eta Epsilon chapter continued its traditions of continued success in philanthropy and academics. Eta Epsilon reports an average 2016 spring semester GPA of 3.52. Our philanthropy events included Kappa Karnival and a collection drive in the spring, and Kappa Con Queso in the fall in which we surpassed our fundraising goal. These events also fostered a sense of community on the Johns Hopkins campus as well as with our partnering fraternity. Our goals mainly centered around the Focus Letter and improving upon aspects delineated in the letter.

		+
		+	With 2016's round of recruitment, we saw a huge number of potential new members go through the formal recruitment process at Johns Hopkins University. With 5 panhellenic sororities on campus offering bids, Eta Epsilon chapter welcomed 41 members with two dropped. We also had two legacy new members, and were able to organize for the mother of one new member to attend Initiation. Being on a Focus Letter this year has led our sisters to re-evaluate our priorities and re-center ourselves on our core values and beliefs. With new attendance policies that are sympathetic to sisters and still encourage attendance at all events, sisters are more engaged and happy with their chapter involvement. The Fraternity and Sorority Life Office on campus held various seminars on wellbeing and health that were well-attended by our chapter, as well as a seminar on hazing. Finally, we focused on holding more sisterhood events this semester such as Secret Santa's and a pumpkin-picking trip.
		+
		+	'''Chapter Philanthropy:'''
		+	The sisters of Eta Epsilon again held several successful philanthropy events - in the spring, we held a collection drive of feminine hygiene products for the House of Ruth, a local shelter for battered women. We ran this drive with Alpha Phi and were able to collect a great deal of donations. We also held Kappa Karnival, in which different organizations signed up for booths at a carnival-themed outdoors event. Tickets were sold by sisters and all proceeds went to RIF. In the fall, we held our second annual Kappa con Queso co-sponsored by a fraternity on campus as well.
