		+	==Highlights of 2019==
		+
		+	Over the past year, the Zeta Kappa chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma has completed quite a bit. One our biggest achievements over the past calendar year is we were the number one fundraiser for our local philanthropy, Kappa Kidney Camp. We had several women take the opportunity this summer to go to southern Ohio and attend the camp, and meet the children who participate. We received Greek Standards of Excellence awards in the spring based on communication, involvement with other chapters in the greek community, and academics/organization. This past semester at BGSU Panhel began study bunch, in which many women of our chapter began attending.Quite a few women in the chapter received the Kappa scholarship, as well as one woman in our chapter received the panhellenic scholarship. We have also implemented book buddies, in which we have second grade pen pals, in which we donate books to each month. At the end of each year we have a pizza party with our pen pals. This semester we also implemented social probation, in which we hope will eliminate the amount of grade risks, as well as standards concerns within the chapter. Our goals for the next semester: be in the top five GPAs on campus, and have 2 or less people sent home from a date party.
		+
		+
		+	Within the past year, BGSU has gained a wonderful new president of the university, Rodney Rogers. He is encouraging leadership and promoting the good of FSL. He has created a very positive influence on the chapter, and the campus as a whole. He has had service meetings and president meetings in which women of our chapter have been invited to, and have attended.
		+
		+	Our local philanthropy is Kappa Kidney Camp. We feel as though this is a very important philanthropy to get behind. The children who benefit from this organization are amazing, and seeing the progress is absolutely priceless.
		+
		+	We celebrated founders day this year at a country club in Perrysburg, in which many women received their pins for being a kappa woman for however many years. We always do a luncheon, providing lunch and dessert. We also closed with the mystic circle as well.
		+
		+	Our alumna chair, Heather has been in contact with many of our alumni informing them of the anniversary coming up. We have also talked to many of our chapter's charter members as well. We were hoping to have a celebration here in Bowling Green, inviting various alumna to come.

		+	==Highlights of 2018==
		+
		+	Over the previous calendar year Zeta Kappa has had much success. At convention we earned "Most Improved Academic Excellence Award" for outstanding achievements for the years 2016-2018. Philanthropically, Zeta Kappa raised a total of 3,613 dollars for our three philanthropies this calendar year. Moreover, the chapter was involved in Sigma Chi's Derby Day philanthropy competition which we won for the second year in a row. By doing so we were able to support both Sigma Chi's philanthropy and our own, while also spreading a positive philanthropic awareness across campus. As for chapter goals, our focus letter was lifted as we made great strides as a chapter and accomplished all that was laid out for us in the letter. Zeta Kappa also just saw 2 women end their terms on BGSU's Panhellenic Council, these Kappas held the positions of Panhellenic President and Vice President of Service. While these two Kappas ended their term on Panhellenic two new Kappas were installed as President and Vice President of Membership Development. This was a great honor as a Kappa woman will be serving as the BGSU Panhellenic President for the second year in a row.

 '''Chapter:''' The Zeta Kappa Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma is a very strong chapter with emphasis on sisterhood. We try to build sisterhood with other chapters on campus. For example, we have invited chapters over to watch movies, play games, and eat dinner with us. Our chapter house is another aspect we take pride in. The house looks like a rectangular dormitory; however it is so much more than that. It is a place for our sisters to come and feel like they are at home. We have a family room, a formal room, a computer lab, a study, and a kitchen. All of these rooms contribute to the overall feeling of a real home away from home. Our house, values, and members all contribute to who we are as a chapter and how strong our chapter has become.
 One of our biggest challenges we faced in the beginning of the fall semester was respect for one another. We all worked very hard to get back on the right track and gain respect back for ourselves, each other, and Kappa as a whole. Another challenge we faced in the previous year was raising money for our philanthropies. We didn't donate as much as we had in past years and not as many members actually attended Kappa Kidney Camp. We improved this greatly by having Kappa Kappa Grilled Cheese this fall, the money raised will be given to Kappa Kidney Camp for this coming summer. Also, we didn't donate any money to our second philanthropy Reading is Fundamental (RIF). We are in the process of formulating a plan to become more involved with RIF. Our cumulative GPA for the year 2011 was 3.12, we strive for 3.14. We plan to keep raising our GPA each year through hard work and dedication.
