+Each year, the Eta Pi Chapter of KKG at NYU consistently adds wonderful, strong women to its ever-growing network of initiated sisters and alumni, and 2018 turned out to be an incredibly special year for many reasons. We have once more proven to be a very close group of strong women who work hard to support each other in every endeavor. We have 149 initiated sisters from a wide variety of backgrounds, cultures, states and countries. At the 149th Kappa Kappa Gamma Chapter Convention held in June 2018, our chapter received an honorable mention for academic achievement. At the FSL awards this past spring, our chapter received the “Chapter of the Year” award, a huge honor that filled our sisters with pride at how far we have come together. Our former president, Maria Guadagno, also received the “President of the Year” award, further demonstrating how positive leadership does not go unnoticed and is highly valued! Our seventh year on campus was full of wonderful achievements on a local level as well.
-Please refer to your chapter archives including chapter meeting minutes and back issues of ''The Key'' to fill in any gaps in the above historical highlights. If your chapter archives are not complete, please research your university library, campus newspaper and yearbook archives for newsworthy information about your chapter. Please double check your work for accuracy. Contact chapter Advisory or House Board members, local Alumnae Association members, or your Province Director of Chapters for assistance.
+Our House Chair, Sami Robbins, has done a wonderful job hosting sisterhood events that are enjoyable, creative and flexible with our sisters increasingly busy schedules! She gave a stellar presentation and received the first housing pick of the Greek life houses, where Eta Pi has the best view at NYU! We have a large living space that can accommodate our growing chapter’s events and recruitment processes, and the ladies that have the privilege of living there are extremely close!  A consistent highlight are the monthly brunches held in the Penthouse at Lafayette Street, where a chef comes in to cook on the first Saturday morning of each month.
+Our chapter had stellar academic achievement in the spring semester, with 24 women receiving the honor of being a KKGenius (a GPA of 3.7 or higher). 9 women finished out the semester with a perfect 4.0! One of our sisters, Olivia O’Hare, was even asked to join the prestigious Omega Nu Lambda chapter of Greek Honor Society: The Order of Omega! We could not be prouder of the outstanding achievements of our sisters both inside and outside the classroom.
-Your efforts will ensure a complete and accurate history of your chapter for future generations to enjoy!
+Every event serves to bring our sisters even closer and provide some relaxation amidst the stressful school year. Headed by Shreya Jois, our events team did an outstanding job organizing two date parties, semi-formal, and formal for all of our sisters! Ending the school year at Hudson Terrace was a fun way to bond with all of our sisters, and the leadership by the events team was crucial in developing sisterly bonds.

		+	This Fall, Eta Pi welcomed our wonderful new Iota class during formal recruitment led by our
		+	Membership Chairman, Ximena Tellez. Our recruitment theme, Start the Spark with Kappa
		+	Kappa Gamma, celebrated female empowerment! The new member process began with an outer
		+	space themed bid day, showing our newest members that Kappa’s Out Of This World. The new
		+	member period continued with an exciting big/little week and weekly new member meetings all
		+	planned and led by our New Member Chairman, Acacia Dougan. Acacia prepared the Iotas to
		+	become active members and helped them acclimate to life in the chapter. We initiated our
		+	fiftyone new members in early November at a beautiful and meaningful ceremony organized by
		+	chapter Marshal, Morrisa Cohen. This year’s Initiation Ceremony was made even more special
		+	by our incredible alumnae involvement, including attendance by four Kappa moms and a
		+	biological sister along with numerous Eta Pi alumnae.
		+
		+	As always, Eta Pi has continued to participate within the NYU Greek Community assisted by our
		+	Panhellenic Delegate, Kate Goodman. Going above and beyond, Kate led our chapter through a
		+	successful Alice in Wonderland themed Greek Week, planned events with other chapters, and
		+	updated the chapter bylaws to allow sisters to fulfil their semesterly Panhel requirement by
		+	attending one Panhel GA meeting or by attending two events put on by other chapters. This
		+	change has allowed our sisters to support other organizations’ events, spreading even more
		+	Panhel love! Additionally, we had many sisters serve in leadership positions within the
		+	Panhellenic community, including members who served as Recruitment Guides for Fall Formal
		+	Recruitment and two sisters, the maximum number possible, on the 2017 Panhellenic Executive
		+	Board. Representing KKG beautifully, Morrisa Cohen served as Vice President of Judicial
		+	Affairs and Claudia Yuan served as Graphic Design Chair.

		+	of the year has been starting the Eta Pi Scholarship Fund. Thanks to the House Board,
		+	Headquarters, and the NYC Kappa network, we are more than halfway to our fundraising goal!
		+	In 2017, Eta Pi had over 30 dancers, 20 volunteers and 2 executive board members participate in
		+	the 5th annual New York Dance Marathon to raise money for the Andrew McDonough B+
		+	Foundation. Led by our NYDM Team Captain, Paris Reise, we hosted chapter fundraisers, sent
		+	emails, and participated in fundraising challenges to raise $38,000, contributing to the record breaking grand total of over $603,000 for the fight against childhood cancer! Throughout the
		+	year we were also able to spend time with our B+ Hero, Aubrey, thanks to the coordination of
		+	our B+ Hero Liaison, Niyousha Ahmadi. We went bowling, played in the park, painted,
		+	celebrated her 9th birthday in our penthouse, and even had sisters go to her house in Brooklyn
		+	multiple times a week to tutor her. Our sisters have spent countless hours in 2017 fighting
		+	childhood cancer through planning, fundraising, and spending time with Aubrey; we are so
		+	proud of their hard work.
		+	A highlight of 2017 was our annual Founders Day Celebration, co-hosted with the New York Alumnae Association. With over 180 sisters, both active and alumnae, we celebrated our six
		+	incredible founders, 147 years of Kappa Kappa Gamma, and Eta Pi’s fifth birthday! We had the
		+	honor of having Fraternity President, Beth Black, as our keynote speaker for the event, which
		+	proved to be truly inspiring. It is definitely an event our chapter will remember for years to
		+	come!
		+
		+	The Presidential badge was given by the New York Alumnae Association at the chapter's
		+	installment. The badge was passed down to Jen Morrisette, then Ivana Rodrigues, then Rebecca
		+	Calvo, then Madeline Jerge, then Annalise Bissa, and it currently resides with the 2017 Eta Pi
		+	President, Maria Guadagno. The badge is inscribed with “ΗΠ”, “NYU” and “11/8/11.”

		+	==Highlights of 2015==
		+
		+	The year of 2015 was yet another successful year for the Eta Pi Chapter at NYU. We are a tight knit
		+	sisterhood made up of women who strive to be positive role models for one another while being
		+	loyal friends and sisters. We have 164 initiated sisters from diverse backgrounds, cultures, states
		+	and countries. Our chapter was recognized at the 2014 Fraternity and Sorority Life awards
		+	(February 2015) for Outstanding Academic Achievement, Outstanding Community Involvement,
		+	and Lafayette Housing Chairman of the Year. Multiple 2015 graduates were awarded Senior Pillar
		+	honors, as well as a Commitment to Change Award. We also sent women to Leadership Academy
		+	and Province this year.
		+
		+	We host multiple sisterhood events a month either on campus or in the KKG penthouse. The
		+	sisterhood events of 2015 ranged from an in house spa day to an ugly sweater and cookie contest at
		+	our holiday party. As an organization, our sisterhood is strong. Our sisters who live in the house go
		+	above and beyond to create a warm and welcoming space for all members of the chapter (some
		+	even giving up their beds to house our wonderful leadership consultants!). Our bi-monthly chapter
		+	programming, Femisphere, created by our Risk Chair Jen Tonti, delves into a tough to talk about
		+	issue such as gender and sexuality or girl-on-girl bullying. This programming generates more
		+	participation from the chapter than most other events, ultimately creating a safe space for women
		+	to be women and talk about things that need to be discussed. Femisphere has done a fantastic job
		+	in fostering our sisterhood in 2015, and we hope to continue it into the future.
		+
		+
		+	Scholarship remains of great importance to the women of Eta Pi. We had 32 Kappa Kappa
		+	Geniuses (3.7+ GPA for the Spring 2015 semester), who received ‘KKGenuis’ t-shirts recognizing
		+	their outstanding academic achievements. We also had four (!!) sisters earn perfect 4.0 GPAs this
		+	semester, each of which received special pearl dangles for their badges. Keeping our grades so high
		+	is no easy task, so our VP Academic Excellence works with the chapter and her committee to
		+	reserve study rooms in the library for after every chapter, and for 24 hours a day leading up to and
		+	during exam week.
		+
		+	Also in 2015, Eta Pi was honored to be selected to host a Girls Academy in 2016. We could not be
		+	more excited for this opportunity work with the Alumni Association on a cause that is so near to
		+	our hearts while increasing our involvement in the greater NYC community.
		+
		+	We initiated 64 new members in the Fall of 2015 after an amazing “Kappa is the Key to Paradise”
		+	themed recruitment. The newly initiated women went through an easy and informative new
		+	member process, which included a beautiful bid day, and a super fun big/little week all, leading up
		+	to a spectacularly beautiful Initiation ceremony.
		+
		+	Greek Life at NYU will welcome Delta Gamma onto campus this spring. We have multiple
		+	members involved in the process, and are excited to spread all the PanHellenic love we can. Also
		+	over the course of 2015, our chapter has continued its steady participation on the Inter-Greek and
		+	PanHellenic executive boards.
		+
		+	Chapter Philanthropy:
		+
		+	What organization(s) has your chapter historically/traditionally raised money for, or donated hours to, in
		+	your community?
		+
		+	• Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation: (NYDM) In 2015, Eta Pi had around 40 dancers sign up
		+	and raise money for the B+ Foundation’s Dance Marathon at NYU. Headed by Elana Rubin, our
		+	team raised over $27,000 for the cause.
		+
		+	• American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life: Every year, Eta Pi has a team participate at NYU’s
		+	Relay for Life. In 2015, our team captain Kristina Rathjen (2015) worked with sisters all across the
		+	chapter to put on fundraisers and raise a significant amount of money for the cause! We have already
		+	begun fundraising for Relay 2016 with events such as Kappa Kandy Grams, organized by are house
		+	committee.
		+
		+	• Reading is Fundamental: Our philanthropy chair, Rebecca Borjas worked with Public School 64
		+	for both tutoring hours in the Spring and our Reading is Key event in the Fall. At Reading is Key,
		+	we provide every child with a new book, as well as a full afternoon of literacy crafts and games that
		+	encourage the children to read.
		+
		+	Why did your chapter choose this organization(s) to support?
		+
		+	NYU does a great job encouraging Greek organizations to participate in student-body wide
		+	fundraising events. We participate in NYDM because it began as a Greek only fundraising event,
		+	but expanded in 2015 to include NYU residential life. This year, we put into place a new rule
		+	stating that all women must participate in a minimum of 5 philanthropy hours over the course of
		+	the semester. This has not only increased presence at our Philanthropy events, but has also grown
		+	Kappa’s presence on the NYU campus as a whole, for it encourages sisters to attend the
		+	philanthropic events of the other Greek organizations.
