+In March, we hosted a philanthropy for Kappa Kappa Gamma’s Reading is fundamental by selling merchandise online and excepting donations. The three new members were initiated over zoom by previous marshal Averie Stock and current Marshal: Gabi Isaak. The sisterhood chair Savannah Slife also hosted a zoom yoga sisterhood that girls got to join and do yoga together safely.
-'''Housing:'''
+Summer brought lots of outdoor fun for members all over. During the summer came the news that recruitment would be in person as well as classes. The news that the House would be opening and able to hold 40 girls in the coming fall semester was exciting to all.
-'''Philanthropy:'''
+October started out with initiation. We got to host an in-person initiation and hold a formal dinner for the whole sorority the night before. On October 2, 2021, we initiated 38 young women into Gamma Eta Kappa Kappa Gamma. One other member was initiated two weeks later at the University of Idaho. That same weekend we also held the Fratio sisterhood. It was a busy but fun weekend for everyone. Homecoming was the next week and we were paired up with TKE. We participated in flag football, a lipsync battle, field games, and decorating TKE. It was a week filled with fun getting to know the men of TKE and our sisters better. WSU’s first Parents weekend was held. There was a bbq before the game Saturday for everyone to bring the parents to and to show off our Kappa house. It was tons of fun and everyone loved meeting everyone’s parents. At the end of October, we had the boo bash date dash with Lambda, Theta, and Sig Ep. We also held our annual Kappa Taulloween where we turn TKE into a haunted house. It was a huge hit and the Philanthropy Chair: Anna Schuetze did an amazing job.

+As we wave 2021 goodbye we look back on all the memories made and look forward to making more in the coming year. Go Cougs! Go Kappa!
-'''Note to Chapter Registrar:'''
+We help chapter online, and initiated 3 new members in the spring of 2021. Our house was also shut down and all sisterhoods and philanthropies were viral. In fall 2021 we had limited capacity in the house and wore masks to chapter. Besides that, everything was in person.

We are extremely grateful that both younger and older members get to experience living together and embrace the true friendship that Kappa provides to each of its members.
		+
		+	Throughout the year we have been working diligently as a chapter to improve our grades. We are so proud to announce that in Spring 2018 Gamma Eta had the second highest GPA among the 13 other sororities on campus. Fall 2018 we had the third highest GPA. We are extremely proud of our hard work and drive for success.
		+
		+	WSU holds annual awards called the "Arete Awards" where Greek chapters are awarded for their excellence in specific categories. This year, Kappa received Honorable Mention for "Standards Award" and "Member Development Award." We pride ourselves on taking care of one another and our Risk Management team goes to show for that. We take special consideration into making our new members feel at home as soon as possible. The latest award was the winner of the "Fall 2018 Yard of the Semester" presented by the College Hill Association.
		+
		+	We host many philanthropic events throughout the year. Last spring, we hosted our annual 3 on 3 basketball tournament called March Madness. We also hosted Kappa Con Queso, which is a nacho bar set up behind the chapter house. It was a huge success. This fall we hosted Kappa Tauloween, a haunted house that we decorate and run with the men of Tau Kappa Epsilon. We recently hosted Kappa Cocoa after Thanksgiving break. Our chapter is extremely involved and supportive of the philanthropic events hosted by other Greek chapters at WSU.
		+
		+	We publish a biweekly newsletter called "The Key." The newsletter is a fun way to inform parents, alumni, members, and many others about all of the upcoming, past, and current activities that Gamma Eta is involved in. It highlights someone as the "Geek of the Week", the "Polished Kappa" of the week, and the "Clean Kappa" of the week. The member who has received the recognition of either of the three awards is rewarded with a gift card or treat. The newsletters usually have some kind of a theme. For instance, during Valentine's Day the newsletter featured a segment called "Kappa Crush" where members were able to submit little notes of appreciation for another member within the chapter.
		+
		+	We are proud to have accepted many awards that highlight our hard work and encourage us to continue to improve our chapter. We cannot wait for 2019 and all of the adventures it will bring.

	With our university continuing to transition into a more policy compliant environment, Gamma Eta has been adapting remarkably well.

		+	==Highlights of 2017==
		+
		+	This year has a been an incredible year for Gamma Eta and we are so thankful to have each other and our new members that we welcomed in August. We were fortunate to initiate our new members in October and claim them as our new sisters. In fact, 15 of our 2017 kappas were able to move in this upcoming semester to the kappa house; we are very excited for them to experience the joys of living with 62 other sisters. Sisterhood is very important to our chapter and our sisterhood chairman has planned many events this year. For example, we recently planned our annual “Kappa Christmas” which involved ornament decorating, fun treats and games as well as a Christmas carol from our seniors.
		+
		+	We also planned serval philanthropies throughout the year; for example, Kappa Tauloween with Tau Kappa Epsilon. We set up a Halloween haunted house that involved several scenes; girls were dressed as creepy dolls, butchers, and zombies. It was a huge success we even had to stay open an extra hour to accommodate our customers. Just recently we hosted “Kappaccino” where we made little coffees to sell on campus to fellow Cougs and raised $300 to donate to the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation to help other Kappas in need. Last Spring semester we orchestrated our annual “March Madness” event which is a 4 vs 4 basketball tournament within the Greek community.
		+
		+	We were fortunate to round up 50 teams this year and raised about $1500 to share with our partnering sorority Alpha Gamma Delta. Our members along with Alpha Gamma Delta members are coaches to the male teams and Theta Chi was the coaches for the all-girls teams. We had two brackets for an all-girls tournament and an all-boys tournament. We were able to buy books and donate them to Reading is Fundamental; so that kids have books to strengthen their reading skills. Also during the Spring semester, we organized a “Kappa Kookout” which involved Kappas selling hotdogs, burgers and assorted chips and drinks. We raised about $300 to contribute to the “Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation” through our proceeds.
		+
		+	WSU held their annual “Aréte Awards” and kappa was fortunate to bring home two awards this year: “The Intellectual Development” “Outstanding Risk Management!” We had an incredible Risk team this year: it was always very organized and passionate for the safety of our sisters. Many girls in the chapter stepped up to support the Risk Management without being asked to or that weren’t apart of Chapter Council or the Risk Committee. We also have been pretty high in grades however this year our cumulative average GPA has increased to a 3.34. Our Vice President of Academics awards a “Geek of the Week” each week to a kappa that has been studying her tush off: and she is rewarded with a $10 gift card.
		+	As a chapter, we have also brought back our biweekly newsletters which have been a big hit.
		+
		+	We incorporate different themes from the week such a Christmas or “Big Little” and add pictures throughout the few weeks with a little caption explaining the event. We also revel who our “Geek of the Week” is and our “Polished Kappa” who is awarded by our Standards Chairman for exemplifying good Kappa attributes and be a light in the chapter. Through these newsletters we also try to include our alumni by adding in past Gamma Eta stories and posting it on their Facebook page. The newsletter is also sent out to parents and advisors to keep them updated on our festivities.
		+
		+	We are really proud of our accomplishments this year and will continue to strive for greatness. Gamma Eta is a place full of talented, incredible girls, we cannot wait to see how our chapter grows and develops, we have big dreams for Gamma Eta! Here we come 2018!
