		+	==Highlights of 2021==
		+	The Eta Sigma chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma engages in a unique philanthropy at Chapman
		+	University called Fleurish. Fleurish is an event held in the spring and the fall where our
		+	chapter partners with a local organization to raise money and awareness for a specific cause
		+	that we find meaningful to us and our community. In the spring at our Fleurish event, we
		+	partnered with the Orange County Therapeutic Arts center and fundraised over $4,300
		+	through venmo boards and selling art that members of our chapter created. On Friday May 6,
		+	we threw an event on Musco lawn with live musicians and tables with art, fun games such as
		+	cornhole and face painting. Over 500 people from the Chapman community attended the
		+	event and the executive board of the Orange County Therapeutic Arts spoke about their
		+	programs. We choose to support this organization because they provide innovative, artistic,
		+	educational and therapeutic programs that inspire and transform children, at-risk youth, and
		+	their families to fulfill their highest potential. This event was our chapter’s first in-person
		+	events coming out of quarantine, so we wanted to focus on how we could reunite while
		+	recognizing how the arts can help you come out of a crisis with something good that you’ve
		+	created.
		+	Our fleurish event in the fall supported Casa De La Familia (CDLF), whose mission is to provide
		+	victims of trauma in SoCa with support services, counseling, and awareness. We fundraised
		+	for CDLF from October 18th through October 22nd by tabling on campus, selling t-shirts and
		+	stickers, and running a penny wars competition between the Greek chapters on campus. On
		+	Friday, October 22nd we held an event on Musco Lawn with live musicians, and tables to
		+	make self care packages or do a self care activity such as painting vases. The event on musco
		+	lawn had 5 representatives from CDLF who spoke about their organization and we had
		+	around 300 members from the Chapman community attend. We chose this organization
		+	because our chapter felt it was so important to raise awareness for mental health services
		+	and felt empowered by Casa De La Familia’s mission statement to ensure the long lasting
		+	mental health success of individuals of all ages who have experienced trauma. For our
		+	fleurish event in the fall we engaged with the other Greek organizations on our campus and
		+	raised over $6,500.
		+
		+	Our chapter is excited to support Kappa’s national philanthropy, the Kappa Kappa Gamma
		+	Foundation, and the new mental health and well being initiative next semester. During this
		+	past year, we have focused on our chapter’s philanthropy, Fleurish, but have been planning
		+	this semester on how to take action and support these organizations next semester. Our
		+	chapter discussed what organization felt most meaningful to us and we choose to support the
		+	JED foundation who works to promote emotional health and prevent suicide in teens and
		+	young adults. This foundation inspired our chapter and we are excited to raise money and
		+	awareness for them this upcoming year.
		+
		+	Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
		+	Our chapter took several initiatives this year to implement diversity, equity, and inclusion in
		+	all of our programs, events, ideals, and leadership. Our chapter elected our second DEI officer
		+	this year who educated our chapter on important information, conducted workshops focused
		+	on DEI, weekly meetings discussing meaningful topics to our community, and constantly
		+	promoted an inclusive environment within our chapter. She brought to light the celebrations
		+	of heritage month, and each week highlighted positive female role models of different
		+	ethnicities and their accomplishments. Our DEI committee members as well as the DEI Chair
		+	created a weekly DEI newsletter which includes articles written from various members about
		+	anything relevant or they feel passionate about educating the chapter about. With our fall
		+	Fleurish this year we raised awareness and supported CDLF who focuses on the underserved
		+	and underrepresented minority populations, taking care to provide culturally appropriate and
		+	relevant services. Our DEI Chair worked closely with our Membership Chair to lead our
		+	chapter in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout our recruitment process and
		+	educated our members on how to be the most inclusive and welcoming to any potential new
		+	member, or anyone we speak to. The implementation of DEI initiatives within our chapter has
		+	led all members of Eta Sigma to become more educated about other cultures, appropriate
		+	language, and inspired the Panhellenic community at Chapman to be more passionate about
		+	diversity, equity, and inclusion. The Eta Sigma chapter is excited to create more DEI initiatives
		+	this upcoming year and continue to lead our chapter with ideals of diversity, equity, and
		+	inclusion.
		+	Operating in a Pandemic
		+
		+	The pandemic this past year affected our chapter’s ability to be in person, but did not stop us
		+	from connecting, recruiting, bonding, and maintaining our sisterhood. During spring 2021, we
		+	held all of our chapter meetings virtually. In addition, recruitment and initiation were held
		+	over Zoom. Even though our recruitment was held virtually, our chapter put in extra efforts to
		+	make it just as exciting and special, and we were still able to welcome home 45 amazing
		+	women who we felt embodied the ideals of kappa and formed great connections during the
		+	recruitment week. Our big-little reveals, as well as initiation, were virtual ceremonies but we
		+	still found ways to make our new members feel celebrated through special letters written
		+	from the bigs, shipping the littles their letters jacket, and some Greek families met up with
		+	masks to celebrate in person. At the end of Spring 2021, our chapter was able to hold our
		+	philanthropy event, Fleurish, in person by following our university’s health and safety
		+	guidelines. At this event, everyone wore masks, socially distanced, and remained outside
		+	throughout the event. This was our chapter’s first event back in person and the excitement of
		+	everyone to be back together radiated. During Fall 2021, our chapter was able to hold our
		+	events in person again with masks and following our university’s COVID regulations.

 Then, on Thursday, October 25th, award-winning mental health advocate Ross Szabo gave his keynote speech about mental health in Memorial Hall. He shared his story of being diagnosed with bipolar disorder in high school, in a community where resources and education about mental wellness were scarce, and how building a platform for him to be vulnerable and share this story has helped him and others heal. He spoke in a candidly and uplifting manner, finding a way to make the audience laugh while asking sincere questions about how we treat ourselves every day.
-In addition to this programming, Eta Sigma fundraised $21,000 for the National Alliance on Mental Illness, Orange County chapter. This donation will help provide free support groups and educational resources for individuals in our community who struggle with mental health, as well as their families. This is a record amount of money fundraised for Eta Sigma chapter! Overall, Fleurish was a representation of the values of the women in our chapter. We gave our community a platform to open up, be vulnerable, and support each other, and the results of this have surpassed the week of Fleurish. As a result of this event, our community has barriers and stigmas broken down so people feel more comfortable asking for help when they need it, even if it just means talking to their friend about something difficult.

+==Highlights of 2020==
---------
+Although we faced unprecedented times, Eta Sigma had a great and memorable year. We began our eventful year at recruitment! Throughout recruitment, we were able to create a stronger bond and bring high energy to each day. On day one, the theme was ‘Go Greek’, where we are able to show off how we participate in Greek life and how exactly Greek life has positively impacted our lives. On day two, the theme was philanthropy, which is when we are able to discuss what specific organizations and causes we support, more specifically Fluerish! On day three, the theme was values, which is when we are able to discuss what exactly Kappa’s value are and how each of our members embodies them. The last day, day four, is preference day, which is when the PNM’s receive an invitation to come back to Kappa and get to know us on a deeper level. Most members will tell you that preference day is the most special because we have very heartwarming speeches, we have some of our Kappa sisters sing, and we of course share a small piece of ritual and the value of the key with the potential new member. We successfully welcomed 67 new members, and welcomed them with a pink cowgirl themed bid day hosted at Kappa alumna, Mary Silzel’s house! Soon after, we celebrated our Inspiration Week, in anticipation for Fireside and Initiation on March 15th. Unfortunately, the week before initiation, we were sent home due to COVID-19, and unable to hold initiation in-person. We rescheduled Initiation to be on May 3rd. Our virtual initiation was very special and memorable for our Chapter, especially for our Theta Class. Although we could not all be together, we were able to have members of the Ritual and History committee to help facilitate the ceremony and make it special for our newly initiated members. To kick off spring semester, we began to hold virtual meetings, where we created themes for each meeting in order to keep everyone involved and excited! One of our biggest accomplishments was welcoming our newest committee, known as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and creating a new chapter council position for the chairwoman of the committee. During the spring, we were unable to put together our annual philanthropic event, Fluerish. We instead started a brand new virtual mentor ship with the Big Brothers and Sisters of Orange County, and have fund raised for many different causes and organizations. We were also able to be apart of a virtual version of Skit, an event put on by Greek Life where chapters have to create a six minute performance based off of a movie or TV show. Eta Sigma placed as first with an Annie theme! Our members worked very hard and had a great time putting on a socially distanced skit. We also celebrated Kappa’s 150th anniversary with a virtual Founder’s Day celebration. We welcomed all of our family members, and celebrated the founding of Kappa Kappa Gamma through many heartwarming speeches, videos, and even honored our founding members through a special ritual. As the semester went on, we held virtual meetings every Sunday, and held a sisterhood nearly every week. Some of our most memorable..
-'''Note to Chapter Registrar:'''
+We virtually held trivia night’s, a pumpkin carving celebration, study room’s, and so much more. Our president, Charlotte Cavanaugh-Kerr was awarded president of the year, which was such an exciting accomplishment for Eta Sigma and for Charlotte! We also received honorable mentions from the annual Kappa Kappa Gamma National Convention for our new member program, a heritage award, a gracious living award, and a public relations award. We were awarded New Adelphe Level, House Award for unhoused chapters, and a financial award for unhoused chapters. Although our year looked different, we all continued to learn, grow, and flourish amongst one another and because of that our bonds as Kappa sisters grew stronger than ever. Chapter Philanthropy

		+	==Highlights of 2018==
		+
		+	An exciting highlight for 2018 Eta Sigma was taking First Place in our university’s annual Skit competition put on by the Greek Life community. It was our first time winning and our video actually went viral online. It is a choreographed presentation of The Parent Trap condensed down to six minutes. All hands were on deck for this huge event, with Kappas stepping up to make the show happen through everything from planning the dance to designing costumes, music, and lighting. Our favorite part about Skit is the fact that it allows so many members in the chapter to step into different leadership roles that allow them to utilize their gifts and strengths. Numerous members are nominated from the floor and voted into positions such as “choreography chair,” “costume chair,” and “skit chair.” All positions have the opportunity to work together in creating the set, sound design, lighting effects, costumes, as well as working on administrative responsibilities and communication efforts. They develop their teaming skills while developing their leadership skills and presence in the chapter as well.
		+
		+	Our chapter was honored to have been recognized at Kappa Convention for earning one of the top five for “Most Outstanding Chapter,” a “Lifetime Education Award,” and six honorable mentions (finance, chapter management, new membership, membership, standards, and public relations). We feel blessed to have been able to send seven actives, and were blown away by how much they got out of their experience. They came back with new ideas, new passion, and a renewed sense of focus and excitement about their involvement in Eta Sigma.
		+
		+	We were proud to debut a brand new event this past semester. On the weekend of October 13th, we held a combined Parents Weekend and Founder’s Day brunch in which we highlighted all of the important reasons that we call Kappa home. Here we held a silent auction to raise proceeds for our fall philanthropy event, Fleurish. It was incredible to hear current active members speak as well as alumni who were being honored for their years of devotion. We found that by combining our Parents Weekend event with our Founder’s Day Celebration, we were better able to convey the meaning and value that Kappa holds in our lives while honoring our founders. We were also able to increase chapter and parent buy-in regarding our annual philanthropy event, Fleurish (details below). It was amazing to see and hear the parent and alumni reactions to the unveiling of our Fleurish theme for 2018 – “Turn On a Light.”
		+
		+	We are also proud to have had Kaitlin Wong, an active member, serving on the 2018 Chapman Panhellenic council as Vice President of Recruitment. We found that having one of our members on the council increased our chapter’s allegiance to the Panhellenic community as a whole, and we are looking forward to two new active members serving on the council in 2019.
		+
		+	Another notable event from the year included Kappa Kamp, a 3-day sisterhood retreat held at the UCLA kappa house. Each year we find that Kappa Kamp instills a renewed sense of pride and excitement for the coming year in each and every one of our members lives. We are also able to define our values and priorities as we enter into recruitment season, and get to know sisters we may not know as well while deepening the bonds we have with our good friends as well.
		+
		+	Our Chapter Council held a retreat during January of 2018 and set forth 5 strategic goals for the year. They included the following:
		+	1. Improve timeliness of programming. 2. Increase chapter member retention. 3. Utilize committees more. 4. Improve Ritual and Chapter History Knowledge. 5. Increase Accountability and Compliance with Bylaws and Standing Rules. While we truly saw improvement in each and every one of these aspects of the chapter, we especially saw improvements in numbers 1, 2 and 3. Programming was bettered through the VPO role which created a within-chapter-council calendar that allowed us to communicate dates, times, and events far in advance before releasing them to the chapter to avoid potential over programming. This, in turn, had a positive effect on attendance at chapter events. We also saw an increase in chapter member retention. We believe that this is primarily due to the betterment of the sisterhood within our chapter as a whole, the establishment of a more fluid and bonding new member program, and the intentional programming that we put forth for the chapter. We also saw many members step into leadership roles within their committees. We felt that this could be attributed to the pre-set and thought through agendas for their meetings, and different group chats that were created to increase communication between committees. Additionally, with some of our committees, we were able to nominate/ assign different roles that were larger to girls looking to take on semi-big leadership positions in the chapter. We saw many of these girls step into chapter council positions for the 2019 year. We look forward to continuing to improve on our goals in 2019 as well.
		+
		+	We have adjusted to Chapman Panhellenic’s switch to spring deferred recruitment, as historically recruitment was always held in fall at the beginning of first semester. With two sessions under our belt, we feel confident stepping into this next recruitment and are proud of the goals and values we uphold as a chapter and look forward to adding new members.
		+
		+	Our chapter is dedicated to supporting a number of philanthropies. Fleurish is Eta Sigma’s annual fall philanthropy event that is focused around the keynote performance of a motivational speaker. However, it is so much more than that. From October 22nd to 25th, the women of Eta Sigma set up a table in the Piazza to lead our community in meaningful activities and fundraise money. This year’s theme was mental wellness, prompting our community to think empathetically about our mental health and consider it in the same light we think about our physical health. The tabling activities asked students to sign a pledge committing themselves to mental wellness, share things that help them get them through the day, reframe everyday intrusive thoughts and worries in a positive light, and consider how they can individually turn to our Chapman community for support.
		+
		+	Then, on Thursday, October 25th, award-winning mental health advocate Ross Szabo gave his keynote speech about mental health in Memorial Hall. He shared his story of being diagnosed with bipolar disorder in high school, in a community where resources and education about mental wellness were scarce, and how building a platform for him to be vulnerable and share this story has helped him and others heal. He spoke in a candidly and uplifting manner, finding a way to make the audience laugh while asking sincere questions about how we treat ourselves every day.

		+	In addition to this programming, Eta Sigma fundraised $21,000 for the National Alliance on Mental Illness, Orange County chapter.

This is a record amount of money fundraised for Eta Sigma chapter! Overall, Fleurish was a representation of the values of the women in our chapter.

		+
		+	==Highlights of 2017==
		+
		+	This year our chapter was proud to successfully put on our annual event Fleurish for the second time. Fleurish was designed to bring the community and students together to raise discussion about important topics affecting our society. As it is more important now than ever to build one another up, this year we focused on a platform of love, respect, and desire to seek common ground despite our differences. We wanted to empower one another by practicing intentional acts of love. In addition to Fleurish, our chapter actively participated in philanthropy events of other greek chapters on campus and was proud to place first in Kappa Alpha Theta's annual event KATwalk, supporting Court Appointed Special Advocates, (CASA), and place second in Gamma Phi Beta's Airbands, supporting Girls on the Run. We gladly initiated 2 women into our chapter who transferred from other chapters. Another special event our chapter held again this year was Kappa Kamp, a weekend spent at the UCLA Kappa house full of meaningful bonding to continue to grow as a chapter and strive towards goals we created.
		+
		+	A recent change on our campus is a change to deferred recruitment. Chapman University’s Panhellenic Council moved formal recruitment from the fall to the spring the last academic year. This is the second year our chapter will hold formal recruitment in the spring. It is a hard adjustment, but it will get easier year by year. We have extended Chapter Council position transitions, so that upcoming officers work with their outgoing officer through this period. This is largely beneficial to the incoming membership chairman because she is able to participate in recruitment with an outlook that she will be in charge the following year. She has the opportunity to play a significant role in the recruitment process, so she has a better idea of her role and expectations. Additionally, we must modify the budget to accommodate this change. It was a challenge the first year, but it was much easier this time around.
		+
		+	Whether it be a fundraiser to support one of our sisters such as Relay for Life or a beach clean-up on a Saturday morning, the Eta Sigma Chapter is always looking for new ways to give back. In support of our national philanthropy, we have fundraised nearly $1,000 for Reading is Fundamental in the Spring of 2017 while partnering with the Friendly Center for our first Reading is Key Event. We were able to donate books to over 130 children from grades K-8. The Friendly Center provided us with a list of the reading levels, helping us cater to each child's needs. There were different shift sign-ups throughout the week allowing Kappas to pair-up one-on-one with a child. There were fun games and activities to help promote a love for reading. Further, we hosted our second annual Fleurish event this October. Fleurish was designed to bring students and the community together to raise discussion about important topics. The theme for this year was “Choose Love” with keynote speaker Houston Kraft. Houston talked about how we could increase our capacity for compassion and choose love in the hardest of situations. We had over 500 students, high schoolers, and community members join us in this conversation. It was a night where we all could laugh, be honest with ourselves, and come together to better ourselves and better those around us. All while raising $2,000 for GIRLS Academy this coming April.
		+
		+	As detailed above, Eta Sigma has established itself as a chapter dedicated education and empowerment. We choose organizations that members in our chapter can connect to. With events such as Reading is Key, Fleurish, and our upcoming GIRLS Academy experience, it is important that our members can see the effects of their efforts. Not only are we encouraging members to explore their passions, but we are creating more hands-on opportunities and ways to build relationships within our local community.
		+
		+	The Eta Sigma chapter holds all of our chapter meetings, as well as the majority of our events, on the Chapman campus.
