 Zeta Psi chapter supports Reading is Fundamental, Brenner Children's Hospital, and the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation.  Although last semester was cut short, we were able to raise over $1,000 for Reading is Fundamental and Brenner Children's Hospital through our annual event Kappa Kisses.  At the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, the Zeta Psi chapter banded together to serve the Winston-Salem community from afar by raising over $2,000 for the Second Harvest Food bank of Northwest North Carolina.  Despite the uncertain nature of our fall semester, Kappa Kappa Gamma is as committed as ever to our philanthropic duties.  We hosted a Socially Distanced Sisterhood Brunch at a local favorite, Village Juice Co., And a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Kappa Kappa Gamma foundation.  Later in the month, KKG hosted a Virtual 5K, "Kappa Kicks" to raise money for Reading is Fundamental and Brenner Children's Hospital.  Although these are challenging times, I am so proud to see our members coming together to help others.

 The Diversity & Inclusion committee of Zeta Psi was founded to increase the chapter's overall knowledge of and sensitivity to issues surrounding our differences and how they shape our individual experiences.  As college-educated women, we must examine our privilege on an institutional, organizational. and individual level so as to better understand how to include and appreciate each member's diverse background.  Founded this academic year, the committee aims to guide members through the education and acknowledgement of historic and systemic racism within the Greek-life system and to examine our current positions within this history.  We will encourage members to reflect upon their own intersectional identities to recognize how we may use our privilege to better our society.  The goal of this committee is to encourage education and to promote the pursuit of justice and equity within the chapter and within the broader context of our society.  Along with the Diversity and Inclusion workshop facilitated by our National Chapter, we will continuously reinforce the importance of our conversations surrounding these themes through more workshops and presentations during chapter.  The implementation and continuation of this committee within Zeta Psi chapter reveals our desire to establish and uphold the highest standards of social inclusion regarding all aspects of our unique identities.  We commit ourselves to providing a safe space for all members to feel as though they can express themselves fully and unapologetically without facing indifference, discrimination, or intolerance.
 Sesquicentennial Celebration During two of our virtual chapter meetings, chapter council shared the news of the 150th Founders Day celebration.  We encouraged members to the virtual founders day celebration and listen to the Founders Day message.  In addition, since we are not able to gather in person, I sent members of Zeta Psi organization the materials for award recognitions so members could individually celebrate safely.  Finally, we worked together  as a chapter council to encourage members to reflect on Kappa Kappa Gamma's values and principles on Founders Day.

−	'''Housing:'''	+	'''Housing:''' There has been no recent changes on campus in the previous year. Something very special about the chapter's overall nature would be the supportive aspect each girl feels when coming into the sorority. This is through many big/little events, senior sophomore dinner, and each member excited to meet with one another.

		+	The year started out with recruitment. 54 new members joined Kappa Kappa Gamma, Zeta Psi. The whole chapter enjoyed pizza and went to a local roller skating rink to celebrate the new members. The next 3 weeks each sophomore was paired with different freshman key sisters and then paired with their bigs and then went to dinner with their family afterward. The following weekend was initiation where 54 members were initiated into Kappa Kappa Gamma with inspiration weekend. Alumni parents and siblings came to initiation their family members into Kappa and it was a wonderful event. Inspiration weekend included ice cream and batchelor in chapter, cupcakes from their big, a letter welcoming them into Kappa and what exciting things to come and finally room trash where they are given their gifts and their rooms decorated in all Kappa things.

		+	Spring 2019 year had 12 Kappas who finished the semester with 4.0 GPAs, and our overall GPA was a 3.539 with an overall GPA of 3.528.

−	~~'''Philanthropy~~:~~'''~~	+	Founders Day: The chapter celebrated FD in chapter. There was cookie cake for the chapter provided by the marshal and each member did a fun quiz to find out which founding member they were. We did the Founders Day ritual for the chapter and celebrated the founding of this amazing sorority.

		+	Sesquicentennial Celebration: To begin celebrating Kappa's 150th anniversary, we had 4 big cookie cakes for Founders Day and mentioning it to the chapter of the exciting news. Fun ritual "nuggets" about the founding of each ritual were read to learn about the past 150 years.
		+
		+	'''Philanthropy:'''The chapter philanthropy supports Brenner Children's Hospital. We wanted to give to children in a hospital that is close enough that we can see the differences that our money makes. We have reached $50,000 in donations to the Brenner Children's Hospital. "Kappa Kisses" was our first event of the year where Wake Forest students gave money to the chapter to wrap candies for other students. This was a week long event and the chapter raised $1,026 for the KKG Foundation and RIF. "Kappa Kaddies" was an additional philanthropy where each member's family would come into town for the weekend to play 18 hole captain's choice round of golf. This event raised 14,706 dollars for Brenner Children's Hospital.
		+
		+	The chapter also participated in Derby Days hosted by Sigma Chi which raised 1,948 dollars for Brunner Children's Hospital. The school had a 12 hour dance marathon in which we raised 20,758.10 dollars for Brian Piccolo Cancer Research Fund. We participated in many philanthropic events around campus such as "Hit the Bricks" to help the Brian Piccolo Foundation raising 1,044 dollars, and "Project Pumpkin" where local elementary kids come to celebrate Halloween. The chapter had its annual "Kappa Kickball"l for Wake Forest students and we raised 360 dollars for RIF. A challenge in the past was the chapter participating in philanthropy events but our philanthropy chairman has exceeded the past and has had amazing participation raising a total of $39,842.10 for various philanthropies.
