		+	Zeta Theta has a busy fall each year as Sisters return from abroad and are welcomed into the chapter once again. They then jump into recruitment where around 80 women hope to join a sorority. Many wonderful candidates but only a limited number of spots. Happily 26 very qualified New members joined Zeta Theta with great enthusiasm. The chapter works hard with the many transitions of new and returning sisters, and focuses on making all feel welcome.
		+
		+	Community service is very important to the chapter. They created the Trinity College Relay for Life, a 24 hour event to raise money for the American Cancer Society.
		+	The entire chapter participates in Trinity DO IT DAY to help with various projects in the Hartford Community. Members supported the Breast Cancer Walk as well as Halloween on Vernon.
		+
		+	The chapter balances having fun with working hard. They emphasize the importance of Community Service.
		+
		+	With so many busy women, and women traveling abroad scheduling of meeting times and keeping all involved is a challenge. Flexibility and cooperation is the key. Standards has instituted an attendance policy that allows members ways to make up missed meetings or events which helps to keep everyone up to date.

		+
		+	As the new decade arrived the chapter did a complete re-design of their recruitment plan. The Rush Chair, Kathleen Thomas, and her committee spent the summer designing a new rush manual for the chapter. Their goal was to Search Out Unique Pledges, or SOUP. The chapter pledged 28 new members.
		+
		+	As a bit of unique circumstance happened, there were 2 women who were initiated ahead of the Fall Recruitment class. One had been abroad when her pledge class was initiated, and the second was a transfer from another school This gave the chapter a great 'dress rehearsal' for the initiation of the 28 new members in the Fall Pledge Class..
		+
		+	Social Events included a Monday "movie night" at the Kappa House, a St Patrick's day party, a BBQ with Tri-Delta, and a Formal with the theme of "A nigh in the Tropics".
		+
		+	As a chapter the members worked with Habitat for Humanity creating homes for low income families.
		+
		+	The chapter continued to build enthusiasm for chapter events and saw a continued increase in participation in Kappa!
		+
		+	In 1991 the chapter was happy to see renovations to their chapter house! The kitchen was updated with new appliances and a new floor. A bathroom was added to the second floor.
		+
		+	Recruitment added a new skit with a western theme and the chapter welcomed 31 new members on bid day. There was pressure from the College Trustees about the Greek System. Kappa worked in a pro-active way to show that women can make positive changes to make the system safe for all members of the organizations on campus. Kappa worked with other greeks to help the Trinity Child Care Center.
		+
		+	Kappa had the highest GPA of all greeks, and higher then the all women campus average!!

		+	Kappa Kappa Gamma’s Zeta Theta chapter is comprised of many diverse, talented, and goal-oriented women. However, the members are all unified and share a strong sisterhood. Almost all of the members here at Trinity are involved in sports teams, clubs, and various organizations. Our own sister, Emily Claytor, is exceptional, as she won the election as SGA Student Body President of Trinity College. She is a strong leader and the whole chapter is proud of her leadership and excellence. Not only this, but Kappa Kappa Gamma’s Zeta Theta chapter continues to hold the highest grade point average of any greek organization at Trinity. We pride ourselves on our academic success and will continue to strive for academic excellence
		+
		+	Throughout the 2017 year, the Zeta Theta chapter participated in several philanthropic
		+	events, and many of them are held annually. These events help to create and foster relationships
		+	between the sisters and the people of the Hartford community. Below is a list of some events in
		+	which we have participated throughout the year:
		+	● Kappa Kisses
		+	This year we continued our tradition of holding the annual Kappa Kisses Event.
		+	We sold “Kappa Kisses” (candy grams with baggies of Hershey kisses) to the Trinity
		+	Community the week before Valentine’s Day during lunch and dinner at dining halls. Our
		+	organization did not receive any profits from the fundraiser and donated around $700 to
		+	the Connecticut Sexual Assault Crisis Services in Hartford, CT.
		+	● Masquerade Gala
		+	In April of 2017 we helped co-sponsor and supported a Gala event created by
		+	another fraternity on campus, St. Anthony’s Hall. In total we raised $5,000 for the House
		+	of Bread (each guest paid $20 to attend the event). The House of Bread is an organization
		+	that provides urban ministry to the economically disadvantaged in the Hartford area.
		+	Kappa individually contributed another $500 to the House of Bread.
		+	● Girls Academy Follow Up
		+	Last year we were selected to be one of the 16 chapters out of 140 chapters across
		+	the country to hold a Girls Academy. Our chapter partnered with the Greater Hartford
		+	Alumnae Association of Kappa Kappa Gamma and East Hartford middle school to offer
		+	50 girls a unique, educational, day and a half long leadership retreat tailored specifically
		+	to the needs of middle school girls. Through the 5 aspects of the acronym GIRLS (Girls,
		+	Inspiring, Respect, Leadership, and Service), participants explored the issues of peer
		+	pressure, body image, bullying and finding their leadership potential—realities which
		+	they are faced with everyday. This past year we followed up with the girls who we had
		+	worked with and volunteered to go back to the school and check in with them and have a
		+	fun day filled with activities. It was heartwarming to see the girls again and see just how
		+	much they loved having us come last year. It was also so special to see that the girls
		+	remembered the volunteers from last year and were excited to see us again. It really
		+	showed the positive impact that we had on the girls and it was really great to see.
		+	● Greek Week
		+	Our chapter was actively involved in planning Greek Week 2017. We planned
		+	philanthropy events and fundraising activities for the week of Greek Week at the end of
		+	April. We participated with all other Greek organizations on campus.
		+	● Halloween on Vernon
		+	Every year,􀀀 in conjunction with ACES and Psi Upsilon, we help organize
		+	games, face painting, pumpkin carving, and trick or treating for children from the
		+	Hartford community. We offered a safe and fun environment for children and their
		+	families in the Hartford Community to enjoy Halloween festivities.
		+	● ProjectPACKS
		+	This year we participated in the ProjectPACKS program. Project PACKS, which
		+	stands for “providing academic change for kindling students,” is a campus organization
		+	and aims to help disadvantaged children focus in school. Working together with the
		+	Charleston House for Interfaith Cooperation, Project PACKS has donated an average of
		+	40 food-filled backpacks per week to children who receive free or reduced-price meals at
		+	school, but may face hunger at home on the weekends.
		+	● Backpacks for Benin
		+	This year we teamed up with a new sorority on campus, Alpha Chi Omega, and
		+	sponsored a backpacked and schools supplies drive called Backpacks for Benin. The
		+	mission was to bring gently used school supplies and backpacks for the schoolchildren in
		+	the Cinne Village non-profit organization in Benin, West Africa. We collected the school
		+	supplies during meals at Mather lunch and dinner from December 1st- December 7th.
