==The Early Years==
 
==The Early Years==
  
−
Delta is the oldest continous Chapter in Kappa Kappa Gamma, and her history is in part of the history of the National Fraternity.  The environment of Delta always favored the prosperity and growth of the Chapter, located at a state university, where broader, more tolerant policies prevailed. Delta very early assumed a rank of influence in the Fraternity.  The Fraternity is indebted to the records of Delta concerning the early forms of the Constitution and Standing Rules, as well as to the less formal documents the earliest alumnae have been able to furnish in the search for Kappa’s early historical data.
+
'''Colonization:'''
  
−
Alpha Chapter’s influence in the extending the Fraternity was unfortunately limited to a brief span of years.  Therefore, it may be said that Delta Chapter is the chief cornerstone upon which the Fraternity has been built. Today, it still holds the title of oldest continuing Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma.   
+
Kappa Kappa Gamma came to the shores of sunny California on April 1, 1996, as the Fraternity pledged 60 young women of the local sorority Zeta Kappa, and four alumnae, at Pepperdine University establishing the colony that became the Eta Beta Chapter. The pledging ceremony took place in the Pepperdine Chapel overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
−
It was early in the autumn of 1872 that two young girls at Indiana University formed a small group and applied to Alpha Chapter for a charter in Kappa Kappa Gamma. Lena Margaret Adams and Anna Mary Buskirk invited four other girls to join them: Lillie Buskirk, Ida Woodburn, Agnes and Louise Wylie, all of Bloomington. This group constituted the Founders of Delta Chapter. The name of Anna McCord also appears on the charter.  
+
   
 +
Alumnae in the Malibu, Calif., area joined chapter members from UCLA, USC (Calif.), and Cal. State, Northridge. Before pledging Kappa Kappa Gamma, the group was a longstanding local sorority-the largest on campus. At the University's request, the entire sorority system sought national affiliation. Other National Panhellenic Conference members colonizing on the Pepperdine campus were Alpha Phi, Delta Delta Delta, Delta Gamma, Gamma Phi Beta, Pi Beta Phi, and Sigma Kappa.  
  
−
A letter written by Ida Woodburn-McMillan, ‘’Delta’’, says the following:
+
The previous information was excerpted from The Key, Volume 113, No. 2, Summer 1996.
  
−
''“In regard to the organization of Delta, Mrs. Anna Buskirk Hill and Mrs. Lena Adams Beck were the real organizers and I was ‘taken in’ later. There was a Mr. O. G. Brockett, now a minister in the United Presbyterian church, who took his freshman year at Indiana University, and his remaining three years at Monmouth, graduating in 1875. The girls wrote to him about the fraternities at Monmouth, knowing there were two there, Kappa and I.C. Sorosis, now Pi Beta Phi. He wrote them that the Kappas had the ‘nicest girls’ and gave them Anna Willits’ name, and she and Anna Buskirk did all the corresponding. After they completed all of their arrangements, they decided on the other girls for their Chapter.”''
 
  
−
At the time, the young girls did not travel about unattended with the freedom and frequency that are privileges of the modern woman. Therefore, no members came from Alpha Chapter to install the new Chapter. All arrangements were made by letter, and the initiation was conducted by the same means. Great caution was observed in this correspondence to safeguard the secrets of the order. The oath was sent to Delta in cipher, followed by the key to the cipher. Then the Greek words and the Greek motto were transmitted in the same manner.''
+
'''Installation:'''
−
 
 
−
Anna Buskirk writes of the event as follows:
 
  
−
''“When Delta was organized, the whole procedure was very primitive. An oath was sent to us in cipher, --later a ‘key’ followed. After deciphering it, we signed it and returned it to Alpha. Then the Greek words of the name and motto were sent in cipher. Imagine the joy of untangling Greek words by cipher! The charter cost us $1.00 also. Kappa Alpha Theta was established at IU some time before Kappa, and the chapter was composed of older girls or women. Our charter members were girls of sixteen and seventeen.”… “In spite of the strength, age, and experience of Theta, we were at once recognized as a power in college life, and were very successful in gaining positions and honors. We assessed ourselves ten cents each a month for entertaining. This does not imply that Delta entertained in a mean way, for we gave some elaborate functions but there was always someone ready to pay the bills.” … “Kappa’s Record speaks of ‘dominant Delta,’ and I do think Delta’s strength and influence at this time should be given greater notice, for the whole organization as it came to us was very simple.”''
+
The fog rolled off the Pacific Ocean as 37 undergraduates and 24 alumnae were initiated to the Eta Beta Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity October 4-5, 1996 at Pepperdine University, Malibu, Calif. Cal. State Northridge, assisted by UCLA, and USC (Calif.). Other Panhellenic groups on campus included Alpha Phi, Gamma Phi Beta, Delta Gamma, Delta Delta Delta, Pi Beta Phi, and Sigma Kappa.
  
−
Naturally, enough matters moved somewhat slowly, as the letters from Alpha did not always arrive promptly. Although since October that had been frequent meetings of the group, the first official business meeting of the Chapter was not held until January 2, 1873. This meeting was held at the home of Ida Woodburn, and Anna Buskirk was elected as first president of the Chapter. On February 4, 1873, the girls appeared wearing their badges for the first time in public.  
+
The previous information was excerpted from The Key, Volume 113, No. 4, Winter 1996.

The information that follows has been gleaned from available resources including Chapter History Reports, chapter meeting minutes, letters and comments from chapter members and alumnae, the Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity Archives, and The Key. Each chapter is expected to update its history record annually. Contact Fraternity Headquarters at kkghq@kkg.org with questions.

−
The so-called ''Red Book,'' which contains the minutes of the first and subsequent meetings down to December  1889, is one of the most treasured possessions of Delta Chapter. It is a large, heavy ledger, handsomely bound in leather, with the letters KKΓ stamped in gold on the cover. The book is well preserved, as it is now located in the Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity Archives in Columbus, Ohio. The ink of the earlier entries is brown and faded with age, but it is still legible. These pages constitute a priceless record of the early meetings besides shedding illumination upon the life and interest of the college woman during that time period. Yet, if at times the Delta members seemed to take themselves seriously, it is plainly written between the lines of the ''Red Book'' that they were, after all, perfectly normal, fun loving girls; as the entry reads: “all members were present this evening, and it was with great difficulty that the president preserved order.”

==Highlights of the 1990s==
  
−
The early members of Delta Chapter were young girls, sixteen and seventeen years of age. They were of keen intelligence and aware of the advantages afforded to them by the opportunity to secure a college education, then a newly acquired privilege of the women of the state. It was only five years previous to the founding of the Chapter that the Board of Trustees had granted admission of women to the university. It was by the narrow margin of four votes to three that the doors were opened to women in 1868, and Indiana University was the first state university in the Union to take this revolutionary step.

−
In their weekly meetings, held at the home of the various members, emphasis was placed upon the literary programs. Essays, declamations, debates, and select readings occupied most of the time. Certain members were appointed to criticize the performances. During these years, the literary clubs in college played an important part in Greek letter life, particularly the one for women called The Hesperian. Delta had a by-law to the effect that all performances which were to be given in public, in oratorical contests, should be rehearsed previously in Chapter meetings where they were listened to attentively and criticized when necessary. The subjects chosen for essays were diverse and comprehensive. At one time, the Chapter seriously contemplated the writing of the constitution and initiatory service in Greek, but this ambitious project was abandoned.  
+
The biggest event of 1996 was the colonization of Eta Beta in April, and the installation of Kappa’s 125th chapter in October. Actives and alumnae from northern and southern California participated in the ceremony as well as Fraternity President Cathy Thompson Carswell, Illinois Wesleyan, and former Fraternity President J.J. Fraser Wales, Ohio State. The new chapter added 18 members in late 1996 with its first pledge class which was above the All Sorority Average GPA and won the Homecoming spirit cup.
  
−
The girls paid one dollar for their charter, and their initiation fee was also one dollar. Members were assessed ten cents a month for chapter expenses. The initiation fee remained one dollar until September, 1891, when it was increased to five dollars.  
+
Eta Beta was challenged to incorporate Kappas rules and traditions with the traditions they cherished from their Zeta Beta days, but did so beautifully with continued support from Kappas nationwide and their advisers. The chapter adopted the Fraternity Challenge to Excellence as the chapter goal.
  
−
It was the anti-fraternity legislation which crippled the life of Alpha Chapter, despite all the loyalty and ambition of the brave young founders. It was not strange, therefore, that the reins of the government and the power of greater influence fell from the hands of Alpha to Delta in the Convention of 1876. Delta was the Grand Chapter from 1876 to 1878.  
+
Socially, the chapter enjoyed their Spring Formals, Presents, Fall Balls, and winter Kappa Krush and Mad Hatter parties.
  
−
In October, 1876, a general Fraternity meeting was convened in Greencastle, Indiana, under the auspices of Iota Chapter. This Convention, commonly called the second, really was the first Convention of the Fraternity. Anna Buskirk, ‘’Delta’’, presided as Grand President. Only a handful of young, inexperienced girls met, totally ignorant of parliamentary law. They must have been divinely guided, for now they began to realize the meaning of the Fraternity in its deeper, truer sense. At that Convention, the Constitution and By-Laws were practically reconstructed and an initiation ceremony, offered by Delta, was adopted. 
+
The chapter celebrated its one year anniversary in April 1997 by winning the Best New Chapter award at the 1997 Kappa Province meeting. Also in 1997, Eta Beta was honored to travel to San Diego to help install Kappa’s 126th chapter at the University of San Diego. Informal rush in the fall of 1997 added six more members to the chapter
  
−
The minutes of September 6, 1878, record the vote to have a monthly paper called ''The Golden Key''.  Not to be confused with the official publication of the Fraternity, it was on February 7, 1879, before “The Kappas listened with sisterly pride” to the first number. The ''Spectator'', a term paper, contributed by all of the girls, was first issued in January, 1884. Its appearance became an established practice with Delta Chapter.  
+
Eta Beta continued it’s academic excellence into the late 1990’s and had the highest GPA of Greek groups on campus in fall 1998. During this time, the chapter also successfully challenged itself to inrease participation to 80% at mandatory events and to have one sisterhood event a month.  
  
−
In 1881, Delta has the honor of entertaining the fourth National Convention, held in nearby French Lick. Delta selected and proposed the two blues for the Fraternity colors, and they were accepted nationally. These colors are typical of the “true blue” character and noble womanhood of Kappa. Delta’s design for the Fraternity official seal was also accepted.
 
  
−
Individual members of Delta wrote several songs which are still in the Kappa Song Book. ''Knocking Song,'' has stood the test of time, as has the ''Greeting Song.'' Members of Delta Chapter helped install Iota and Mu Chapters, their Indiana neighbors.
+
'''Philanthropy:'''
 +
The new chapter participated in Stepforward Day, a campus wide event to clean up highways, beaches and public schools in the Malibu area. They also participated in the Malibu Chili cookoff, and delivered food to needy families through a local church. They continued their participation in the chili cookoff and Stepforward events throughout the rest of the 1990’s.
  
−
The Delta Chapter House Board, the Delta Association of Kappa Kappa Gamma, was incorporated in 1909.
 
  
−
==Highlights of the 1910s:==
 
  
−
Delta has outgrown her living quarters several times over the years. The first Chapter house was rented in 1892. In 1912, a Chapter house was purchased, and the final payment was made on the property in 1919. In this same year, the Chapter was awarded the Scholarship Cup by the Panhellenic Association.
+
==Highlights of 2000-2010==
  
−
Delta did their share of war work. Many of the girls enrolled in the recently organized Red Cross classes and knitted. More knitted articles were turned in at the Red Cross Shop by Kappa than by any other organization. Every girl found time almost daily to stop at the campus Red Cross to help make surgical dressings. In the Spring of 1918, Delta members devised a plan of having each girl do two hours a week of war work aside from knitting. Some of the girls worked in the "Better Babies" campaign, some of them did the sewing for French children, which was managed by the Y.W.C.A, but the most popular line of work was the making of surgical dressings. There were several times when the Kappas crowded the room so much that the cut-out material ran out. Besides this work, the Chapter bought materials and made a layette for a Bellevue baby.  
+
From chapter’s History Report: Scholarship, group honors/awards, traditions, special events, changes on campus or within chapter, overall nature of the chapter, chapter goals, challenges and how they were overcome, etc.:
  
−
The Delta Chapter supported many organizations financially, including $50 to the Y.M.C.A, $20 to the Knights of Columbus, and large amounts to the Red Cross, beside individual subscriptions. The Chapter also bought two Liberty Bonds.
+
On campus, Eta Beta was involved in many activities including Songfest and Homecoming, while maintaining excellence in academics. At the Annual Campus Greek Awards in 2004, the chapter received the Rock of the Year Award and the Inter-Sorority Spirit Award. Yearly goals included working on improving attendance and chapter involvement, moral and sisterhood, organization and timely payments, adviser relations and Panhellenic spirit.  
  
−
Delta Chapter celebrated their 50th anniversary in the spring of 1919. Kappas from nearly every class back to the founding were there as they were entertained at the house during Centennial Week. A banquet was held in which all of the actives and alumnae were present.
+
In 2006, Eta Beta hosted the Kappa Province meeting. At the Pepperdine Greek Awards in 2008, Eta Betas won Officer of the Year, and President of the Year. In 2009, one quarter of the chapter studied abroad in one semester. The remaining members bonded by getting together for pledge class dinners and to watch the show Gossip Girl together. Weekly study hours and weekly Bible Study were a part of this chapter's traditions.
  
−
==Highlights of the 1920s:==
+
To recognize the tragedies of September 11, 2001, Eta Beta participated in a school wide prayer which took place to pray for the victims and their families. The convocation was also dedicated to those lost on September 11.
  
−
In July, 1922, Delta Chapter realized that she had outgrown her home again.  Backed by a loyal body of alumnae, Delta set out to build a new castle. The Chapter lived in a temporary home while the house was being built. The new home was ready for its homecoming by Thanksgiving, 1925. It is of English Gothic architecture in light brick and stone. Standing on a hill, one hundred feet back from the street, it makes an imposing appearance. The house was built, furnished, and landscaped at the cost of eighty thousand dollars.
+
'''Philanthropy:'''
  
−
A number of traditions had grown, including four social events—a fall dance during the football season, a lovely “Snowball Formal” at the end of Christmas vacation, a costume of feature dance put on by the new members before spring vacation, and a spring rush formal in May. The “Snowball Formal” was the most elaborate, and always followed the same decorative scheme—the reception hall dripping with silver icicles, and a huge snowball, which was shattered during the evening to release myriads of tiny snowballs with which the dancers pelted one another.  
+
Eta Beta participated in Step-Forward Day, and campus wide community service project where they spent the day at St. Monica's Parish. Chapter member also went down to Melrose in Los Angeles to represent Kappa in the annual AIDS Walk. Eta Beta held a Kappa King competition among the fraternities with the proceedes donated to the Special Olympics. Eta Betas participated in City of Hope's Walk for Hope for breast cancer awareness.
  
−
During the spring semester of 1929, a scholarship banquet was instituted at the suggestion Virginia Rodefer, former National Vice-President and national scholarship chairman, who was present at the first banquet. Guests of honor are the four girls whose names are engraved on the four loving cups, one for each of the classes, as having the highest average for the preceding semester, and the active with the highest average, who wore the scholarship key of Delta.
 
  
−
The scholarship key has an interesting history. It is a beautiful old key, of the period when the badge was exceptionally large and thin, which belonged to a member of Epsilon Chapter. It was rescued from a sale after the death of its owner, Nellie Baldwin, ''Indiana'', of Greenfield, Indiana. Mrs. Beck bought the key from Mrs. Baldwin and presented it to Delta as a scholarship award. The first awarding was made during the visit of National President, Georgia Hayden, “Wisconsin”, in 1928. She also presented the Chapter with a golden “Delta” guard to make the heirloom safe.

Another project was the publication of ''The Delta News'', a four-page sheet of news and feature stories, sent to the entire alumnae mailing list. The paper was financed by donations from alumnae.
 
  
−
At the Commencement of 1929 Lena Adams Beck, Delta’s beloved charter member, was given one of the highest honors ever accorded an alumna of Indiana University. At the annual alumnae breakfast, an announcement was made of the establishment of the Lena Adams Beck scholarship loan fund, as a tribute to Mrs. Beck’s interest in the cause of education of women.

==Highlights of 2012==
 +
One of the biggest achievements regarding philanthropic Involvement is that this past year, our chapter won 10 years of Sigma Chi Derby Days supporting City of Hope. In addition, we successfully put on Kappa Karaoke, our philanthropy that supports School on Wheels. Eta Beta participated in Step Forward Day, a campus wide community service project.
  
−
In 1933, the chapter received a gavel made from wood from its first owned house; and in December of 1934, oil portraits of charter members Lena Adams Beck and Anna Buskirk Hill were gifts of the House Board.
+
Secondly, we have come up with new chapter goals and successful ideas of implementation. We are aiming to reallocate burdget accordingly and increase understanding of Kappa Foundation and Kappa Ritual. One example of a challenge we are planning to overcome is creating new fun ways to be involved in the chapter, such as 6 Kappa Founder Awards so that we can increase chapter attendance.

Overall Nature of the Chapter: With the new installation of the chapter council, the environment takes on a feel of excitement. We are very optimistic for this upcoming year because of the amount of involved women that are prepared to continue old traditions while still bringing new ideas to the table.

==Highlights of 2013==

==Highlights of 1950s:==
+
The Eta Beta Chapter had a very successful 2013.  We improved to the 3rd place sorority ranking for academics, we began conducting trips for RIF to read to children in Santa Monica, we won the Most Improved Chapter award at Province, and we held a very effective “Kappa Klassic” philanthropy event.  In addition, our recruitment was wonderful and had very high retention rates of potential new members throughout the process.  Since coming off of our focus letter, our chapter has improved tremendously and become very involved.
 +
 +
Greek Life on the Pepperdine campus has become a lot more involved with other groups including athletics and various clubs.  There have been more events promoting unity as an entire student body.  The Eta Beta chapter has been very involved in these events as well as the philanthropic events of the other sororities and fraternities.  The chapter is very hard working, passionate about Kappa, and possesses strong leadership qualities.  We have a very strong sisterhood, which has created a great deal of Kappa pride.
  
−
In an article about Delta in ''The Key'', 1955, Dr. Herman B. Wells, then president of Indiana University, wrote about the Chapter’s traditionally high scholarship, its participation in extracurricular activities, and its leadership on campus. The associate dean of students mentioned Delta’s participation, cooperation, and spirit.
 
  
−
High scholarship has always marked Delta. Between 1951 and 1965, the chapter placed first, second or third among sororities on campus for 28 out of 33 semesters. Through the years, many chapter members have been inducted into Mortar Board, and Phi Beta Kappa. Chapter records show continuous participation in campus activities. Two members, Judy Roberts (Morris), (1952) and Lesley Bush (Hickcox), (1964 and 1968), have represented the United States on the Olympic swim teams.
+
==Highlights of 2014==
  
−
Nearly every Fraternity President has visited Delta, but a high point was when six Fraternity officers were entertained in November of 1957, and Delta’s 84-year-old Red Book and an 82-year-old badge were presented to Fraternity Headquarters. The priceless Red Book contains Delta minutes from the first meeting on January 2, 1873, to November 22, 1889. The badge was once worn by Kate Hight who was initiated in 1875. These treasures, as well as a hand-decorated ritual book and other chapter memorabilia were on display at the Centennial Convention, and are now at Headquarters.
+
In the past year Kappa has put together their annual philanthropy Kappa Kappa Gameday to support the Ebenezer Foundation, which was started as a non-profit foundation by, recently graduated, Alex Chistolini. Our chapter has also participated in Sigma Chi's Derby Days where our chapter of Eta Beta received a recognition from the City of Hope Hospital for our continuous hard work over the past ten years. Also, several Kappa's volunteered at Pepperdine's Step Forward Day to support and help out less fortunate areas of Pepperdine.  
  
−
Beryl Showers Holland served as Adviser Board Chairman and House Board Chairman for nearly 50 years. In the late 1950s, a new living room was named for her, and in 1964, the Advisory Board established as award in her name to be given annually to the senior exemplifying Kappa standards and spirit.
+
The chapter of Eta Beta has become more involved on our campus and philanthropies. Everyone is involved in all aspects of the Pepperdine community. Our sisterhood has also grown stronger over the past year.  
  
−
Convention Awards: 1954: Efficiency Cup

Our chapter holds meeting in the University owned rooms. Our chapter does not own a house, therefore many sisters room together in off campus apartments. These apartments are rented by the girls separately and are not owned by the chapter. Some apartments only have two sisters living there but other apartments have more than two sisters living in them.

The 1960s and 1970s were remarkable for student pressures and changes in attitude, including a changing attitude toward the Greek system. Although membership remained fairly stable, several Greek-letter organizations left the campus, and Greek membership dropped to about 14 percent. In the spring 1971 issue of Your University, sent to all Indiana University alumni, a feature article made these comments: “Returning alumni often find fraternity life unrecognizable. Hazing is a thing of the past, Homecoming floats and queens are irrelevant … . The change in fraternities and sororities is not surprising, nor is it evidence … that the Greek system is facing its demise … . Changing times require that systems and institutions change … . Today’s students are more serious … correspondingly the trend now is toward shorter pledgeships, dealing with personal development and university orientation rather than fraternity history.”  In the same article, Associate Dean of Students Virginia Hudelson Rogers, BL—Illinois, was quoted as saying, “Fraternities and sororities will not survive on fellowship alone. They must also have a lifestyle which is complementary to the academic life of the university, and which is stimulating both culturally and academically.”
+
Our chapter has had high attendance at most philanthropy events organized by other sororities and fraternities. Thus we received great amount of support for our annual philanthropy in the Spring semester. This allowed us to raise money for the Kind Campaign. Additionally, a few of our members, our President, and one of our advisors attended a regional meeting this year. Another Eta Beta member also attended the Leadership Academy in September. This year we also decided to support a fellow Kappa through the Rose McGill foundation. Our whole chapter donated enough money to be able to buy gift cards for a Kappa in need. Overall our chapter has set goals to improve and grow every year.

Our campus has begun to push for athletes and Greek life to become more involved with each other. Our chapter supported the athletes by attending athletic events to support this movement. Also, our campus has been a place of recent social movements by some students. Our president of the university addressed this by assuring the students that there will be less inequality and more diversification in the future. Overall our chapter is always willing to help where is needed whether it’s showing up to other philanthropies or supporting our campus.

Delta celebrated its centennial in October of 1972, which marked 100 years of leadership standing at Indiana University. Actives and alumnae joined over a year in advance to plan Delta’s 100th birthday. Centennial activities were reported in ''The Key'', Winter, 1972. At the banquet, a $3,000 scholarship in rehabilitation was presented by Marjorie Matson Converse, ''Purdue'', then Vice-President of the Fraternity, on behalf of the Fraternity. It was accepted by John W. Ryan, president of Indiana University, who noted, “the integral function of Kappa Kappa Gamma has played in the history of this university.” Other gifts included $2,500 to the Indiana University Art Museum and $1,500 to the Department of Speech and Audiology.

On this great occasion, attended by more than 200 actives and alumnae, Dr. Doris Seward was toastmistress. She wore her first college formal, a red velvet gown. At this banquet, which ended two days of activities honoring Kappa’s oldest continuous chapter, appreciation plates for outstanding service were presented to Delta advisers Joanne Reed Darby, Cecilia Hendricks Whal, and Fluerette McMillan Benckart, and to chapter President Patricia Haddock, who later became a Field Secretary (now Leadership Consultant). Memorabilia were presented to the Fraternity.

Chapter Philanthropy:
 +
What organization(s) has your chapter historically/traditionally raised money for, or donated hours to, in your community? The Eta Beta chapter has supported Reading is Fundamental by raising money and organizing a book drive for donations. Also, the Eta Beta chapter donated $200 to the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation. Additionally, we have raised $5,000 for our annual philanthropy, the Kind Campaign, which supports girls who have been a victim of girl-on-girl crime. This fall we have also participated in our universities annual Step Forward Day where we volunteer in our community. We had the opportunity to volunteer for School on Wheels in Ventura.  
  
−
The 1972 Convention, held in Hollywood, Florida, opened with a special tribute to Delta, a sight-and-sound show arranged by Jean Hess Wells, DU—Georgia, Director of Chapters. At the close of Convention, the Chapter received the Pledge Training Award and the May Whiting Westermann Efficiency Award.
+
Why did your chapter choose this organization(s) to support? Traditionally, we have participated in the Kappa Kares program by selecting a new philanthropy each year for our chapter to support. Although the philanthropy normally changes every year, Eta Beta is constantly focused on supporting sisters through philanthropy. We have supported multiple sisters’ philanthropies through the years and will continue to do so for years to come. We chose to do the Kind Campaign for our philanthropy this year because it was co-founded by an Eta Beta alumnus, Lauren Paul. The Kind Campaign is a movement against girl-on-girl crime. Thus we felt a close connection to the organization and the cause.

Delta’s growth parallels the university’s expansion. The 190 students of 1872 had grown to nearly 31,000 by 1973, and all regional campus enrollment made that number 67,488. During its first 100 years, 1,807 women were initiated into Delta Chapter.

This past year the Eta Beta chapter was presented the New Member Programming Award at the Kappa convention as well as receiving honorable mentions for Gracious Living for an Unhoused Chapter, Recruitment, and Chapter Management. These awards and honorable mentions were a huge honor and accomplishment for the Eta Beta chapter and have encouraged the chapter to continue to grow and strengthen.

The years of 1980-1984 were years of heavy involvement on campus and within the Greek community for the Delta Chapter. The Chapter participated in many philanthropic events such as IU Sing, Derby Days, and the Panhellenic Greek Olympics and brought home four first place trophies. In addition, many girls held leadership positions within many organizations on campus. Between eighteen and twenty girls were active members on IU Foundation with at least one on the steering committee each year and many Kappas were on athletic teams such as IU Track and Tennis. The Kappa Pickers had a presence each year performing at Bloomington, Columbus, and Indianapolis venues. However, though the Chapter was very involved on campus, they still strove to maintain a very high academic standard. It was noted that the Chapter goal was scholarship each year and that the average GPA of the new inductees was to be a 3.6.  
+
In 2016, the Eta Beta chapter also improved its philanthropic attendance and involvement within the university’s Greek Life. In fact, the chapter won the 2016 Alpha Fifa philanthropy, a soccer tournament presented by Alpha Phi. Additionally, the chapter actively participates in weekly Greek organizations’ philanthropic events, such as attending university supported Convocations, auctions, skit nights, Coffeehouse music events, as well as each fraternity and sorority’s official philanthropic events.  
 +
The chapter has also improved interfraternal relations as Eta Beta designates ambassadors for each fraternity and sorority on campus in order to make announcements of upcoming events as well as maintain and strengthen fraternal relations. Eta Beta has also strengthened their Panhellenic involvement as a member of Eta Beta serves as Pepperdine’s Panhellenic president.

Rush was postponed in 1984 due to the cold holiday season. Many sororities were left with no heat and broken pipes, including the Delta Chapter. To compensate for the misfortune, the Chapter re-vamped their skit to "KKG Putting on the Ritz." Return percentages increased every party and rush turned out to be a great success.  
+
Additionally, the chapter has made good use of designated Committee Chapter nights, in which the chapter as a whole is broken into committees to address ways to improve the chapter and set semester and year-long goals.  
  
−
January 1986, Delta chapter received a gift of $20,000 from Bernice Byrum Kimball to establish the Byrum Scholarship Fund.  
+
Eta Beta also continued its biannual Academic Teas which feature a panel of accomplished women in differing job fields who offer advice and encouragement to the chapter in regards to academics. The Academic Teas also recognize chapter members who have earned high GPAs during the semester. In the Fall of 2016 more than 15 girls were recognized for receiving a GPA of 3.6 or above. Additionally, in 2016 two girls were presented with a pearl dangle to be worn on her badge. The pearl dangle represents the highest achievement of academic excellence and are only awarded to girls who receive a 4.0 GPA.

Some notable individual achievements of chapter members from the mid 1980's:
+
In 2016 Pepperdine University’s campus experienced many pushes in increasing on-campus diversity and cultural acceptance. Events for this movement included open forum discussions led by the university’s president and topics included the US presidential election and racial diversity awareness on-campus. This proactive push on campus has been well accepted by the student body as a whole and has increased sentiments of mutual understanding and acceptance among students.

Delta added 38 new members in the beginning of 1989, bringing the chapter membership to over 100 women.  Chapter activities in 1989 included participating in I.U. Sing, the mini 500 tricycle race, the women’s 500 bike race and intramurals.  Delta also held two formal scholarship dinners.  The 1989 chapter goal was “Appreciation + Involvement = Kappa Sisterhood”.  Involvement was evident as chapter members belonged to many campus organizations, such as the Student Athletic Board, Panhellenic, Singing Hoosiers, IU Ballet Theatre, ROTC and the Student Alumni Council.
+
The overall nature of the Eta Beta chapter has improved in the areas of sisterhood and fraternal involvement in 2016. Sisterhood and participation have been a focus during 2016 and the chapter experienced an increase in interfraternal involvement on campus and experienced a increase in members being engaged in Kappa events and wanting to participate on Eta Beta’s chapter council. Additionally, members of the chapter are involved in all aspects of campus life and participate as leaders in the community through their positions in on-campus jobs and positions on the Panhellenic board.

From 1980-1984, many chapters on the IU campus started new philanthropies in an effort to get more involved as a Greek community. Kappas not only participated in the events, but began their own philanthropy in efforts to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis. They sold cards and balloons during the week of Little 500. It was a great success.

==Highlights of the 1990s:==
 
−
University-wide reform of Indiana University’s greek system took place during the 1990s. The Dean of Students, Michael Gordon, presented a draft of 19 minimum standards for each greek chapter. The new standards dealt with academics, rush, greek government, racial and cultural diversity, national house policies, local chapter management, and health and safety issues. The new standards were implemented January 1, 1990. The greek community, including Delta chapter, supported the dean’s motion for change.
 
−
 
 
−
In 1992 sororities planned more expansion on IU campus. Four new sororities had been added between 1989 and 1993 to accommodate all students who wanted to be apart of the greek community. There was one Hispanic fraternity on campus in 1992 and four new historically black fraternities and four historically black sororities added to Indiana Unversity’s campus.

−
Recruitment became more competitive in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In order to accommodate all the interested students, many sororities and fraternities joined Indiana University’s campus.

Delta’s activities in 1990 and 1991 were very similar to those of 1989.  The chapter once again participated in I.U. Sing, homecoming, senior week, intramurals and the 500 Tricycle and 500 Bicycle races.  Delta pledged 40 new members in January 1990, and 36 new members in 1991, and held their Christmas Formal at the end of each year in Indianapolis.  The 1990 chapter goal was “Do your part……whether learning, leading or through the heart”.  Involvement on campus and within the chapter were stressed.  The 1990 chapter history report includes a long list of activities that sisters were involved in, inlcuding:  the Interior Design Society, Sports Marketing Club, I.U. Student Nurses Association, Campus Crusade for Christ and Habitat for Humanity.

−
The 1991 Delta chapter goal was “ Take a R.I.S.K = Ritual, Involvement, Scholarship and Kappa Sisterhood”.  The chapter history report for this year states that the chapter ritual improved tremendously in 1991, and that the chapter moved up 7 spots in the all sorority scholastic rankings in 1991.

In April 1993, Delta was proud to host the biennial Delta Province meeting. The chapter was fortunate to receive a generous donation of $10,000 in the will of Miss Lillian Harris who died in September 1995. She was initiated in 1917. Delta was also proud to win Chapter of the Year on the I.U. campus in 1996.

In 1997, Delta pledged 48 women for a chapter total of 104 members.  The chapter’s participation in the campus wide I.U. Sing and the Little 500 Bicycle race was consistent in the 1990’s.  This year was also the 125th anniversary of Delta Chapter, and the chapter hosted a reception at the chapter house in September 1997, inviting alumnae and distinguished guests.

The chapter hosted a traveling consultant in early 1997 who noted that the chapter was strong in leadership, Panhellenic and Public Relations, but that work was needed in the areas of scholarship, and especially in Risk Management.

−
It is fitting that the 1997 chapter goal was to raise the chaper GPA to 3.15 and to strengthen the chapter’s risk management focus.  Per the 1997 chapter report, Delta Chapter was successful in both efforts.
 
−
The chapter won the Little 500 Bicycle Race in 1998 (and again in 1999!), and moved from 9th to 6th (out of 25 sororities) academically.  However, in 1999, the chapter was placed on  Letter of Concern, and received additional support from the Fraternity to improve in the areas of sisterhood and ritual.  Tragically, Delta chapter also had to deal with the death of one of its active members in 1999.

Historically members of the Eta Beta chapter have participated in service hour opportunities through organizations such as Jumpstart and Project Serve. Additionally, every year the Eta Beta chapter as a whole participates in Pepperdine’s annual Step Forward Day, in which service groups orchestrated by the university go out and serve underprivileged communities in the LA area. This year one of the members of the Eta Beta chapter was the event planner of the entire Step Forward Day event. The chapter was honored that one of their own put on such an amazing event that benefited so many people in our neighboring communities.

==Highlights of 2011==

2017 was a year full of friendship, sisterhood, and memories for the Kappa Kappa Gamma Eta Beta chapter at Pepperdine University. To start the year off in January, the Eta Beta chapter transitioned it Chapter Council positions passing on its traditions and leadership to a new group of strong and hardworking sisters. Following this, the chapter was heavily involved on campus attending and raising money for all of the philanthropies hosted by the other Greek life chapters on campus. The chapter worked hard and achieved placing top 3 in numerous events throughout the first semester of the year. The Eta Beta's philanthropy came nothing short of amazing as our Philanthropy Chair, Elizabeth Ford, hosted our annual Kappa Kappa Gameday, a flag football tournament and tailgate. Gameday was a huge success and the chapter ended up raising just over $10,000 for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. The Eta Beta Chapter continued with their philanthropic achievement by having a semester annual RIF book drive where the members donated books to an underprivileged elementary school in downtown Los Angeles and even got to spend the day reading these books to the kids. Overall the RIF event brought in almost 60 books.

'''Summary:'''
 
  
−
2011 was an exciting year for Kappa Kappa Gamma. Under the guidance of a great president, Lauren Wolkhamer, Delta chapter at Indiana University enjoyed a full year of accomplishments and fun. In January we welcomed 33 great girls into our pledge class. One of our most exciting events of this last year was by far the Little 500 race. The team consisted of two seniors, a junior, and one sophomore. The team placed 7th among 32 teams. Delta chapter exceeded academically with eleven 4.0s on our Spring 2011 grade report.  
+
Towards the end of the semester our chapter studied hard as they prepared for finals week. Our events chair Mikaela Bisson thought it would be a good idea to have an event to help the Eta Beta chapter relax during this stressful time. So, our chapter had a Kappa study break at one of the member’s homes in the Pacific Palisades where the girls hung out, talked, and ate a lot of yummy baked goods. This sister study break brought the chapter together and even relieved some of the stresses that come with the end of the semester.  
  
−
Upon resuming school this fall, many events occurred. We had dad’s weekend in early September. We had an auction and appetizer event and attended an IU football game. We also had our annual philanthropy, Kappa Klassic Golf Event, where we raised over $1,000 for Reading is Fundamental. We celebrated a great Founders’ Day with alumni. We had an outstanding turnout for Indiana University Dance Marathon. Delta Chapter was the leading sorority fundraiser, raising over $70,000 for Riley’s Children’s Hospital. We are so proud of the commitment our members have made to IUDM.  
+
Even though the summer time is a chance for relaxation and leisure the Eta Beta chapter was still working hard where numerous members started incredible internships across the country. Just to name a few of these incredible internships our chapter has held this summer: our sister Haley Bekins interned with the presidential campaign for Donald Trump at his campaign headquarters in Nebraska, Elizabeth Ford interned with E! News in their Publicity department in Los Angeles, Shannon Hansen interned with Buzzfeed in their Journalism department in Los Angeles, Julia Latimer interned in the White House at the Presidential office of the United States Trade Representative, and Lauren Gottschall interned with the Los Angeles Dodgers in their Athletic Training department. This is just a short list of the numerous internships our sisters held this summer.  
  
−
Delta chapter has come a long way this past year due to great leadership and our close bond with each other. We plan to continue on the tradition with a strong new pledge class in the next year. We made many improvements with recruitment this spring. We had the highest return rate of the past ten years of 92% for second round invite. We purchased clickers to increase efficiency in selections for recruitment, which proved to be a huge asset to the recruitment process.

This year another sorority was added to Indiana University’s campus. Theta Phi Alpha, a chapter that had previously been on campus, was brought back. Unlike Indiana University’s other 19 sororities, Theta Phi Alpha does not have a house. Recruitment was very competitive this year.  
+
When the Fall season came around so did recruitment. This years recruitment theme was Kappa, Love, and Rock N’ Roll, a fun a playful theme we thought represented our chapter. A great new edition to the chapter’s recruitment room this year were the new 6 foot painted wooden letters done by our very own house chair Kat Perry. With the leadership of our philanthropy chair, Kaitlin Rassi, the Eta Beta Chapter grew with 23 new members. The Chapter made the new members feel right at home by hosting events like Senior-New Member brunch, Big- Little reveal, and Blue and Blue dinner. Things like these brought about a new sisterhood that lead to our incredible initiation which was held at the USC Kappa Kappa Gamma’s Delta Tau Chapter on November 11th.
  
−
An undergraduate junior, Lauren Spierer, has been missing since this summer. The event has received national attention from the media and Indiana University supports the Spierer family constantly. The Greek community is very involved with this initiative as well.

This fall the Eta Beta Chapter held its first ever parents weekend event during Pepperdine annual weekend. ‘Kappa Hour’ was an incredible success! Hosted by our incredible House Chairman, Kat Perry, sisters got a chance to mingle with the Chapter’s parents, eat a delicious lunch, and inform the parents on how Kappa has impacted their daughters over the years. Overall this event will become a tradition for Eta Beta for years to come.

Another new event our Chapter got to have this year was a bonfire sisterhood event held by our Standards Chair, Julia Latimer. This event was at the beautiful Point Dume Beach in Malibu. The Chapter got to crowd around a fire, roast marshmallows, and take part in numerous interactive sisterhood games all while soaking in the stunning view of the sunset. The evening was full of smiles, laughs, and memories with sisters that the chapter will not forget.

The Delta chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma at Indiana University is a big name on campus. We are well-known for our diverse and fun group of intelligent and talented women. Our members are involved in many activities, including IU athletics, honor societies, philanthropies, and numerous campus clubs. Members are involved in activities both within our house as well as on campus.  
+
Our philanthropic involvement continued during the fall semester for the Eta Beta chapter. The semester started off on a high note as the chapter participated in Pepperdine’s annual Step Forward day, an event held by the school where groups go out into the Los Angeles communities and serve numerous different organizations. This year Kappa got to volunteer at the Malibu Boys and Girls Club where they organized and help clean the entire facility. Another amazing thing our chapter participated in this Fall was the Out of the Darkness Walk hosted by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, the same foundation we had support in the spring for our main philanthropy event. This was a time devoted to bringing awareness to the community about mental health and our sisters were proud to represent such an incredible cause. The Eta Beta chapter hosted a new RIF event this fall called Books and Bowls with Kappa. This event was hosted on campus where our chapter sold acai bowls to the Pepperdine community. In total we raised $800 thanks to the help of Backyard Bowls who donated 100% of their services to help with our cause. Our Chapter also gave back to the Rose McGill Fund this year by raising $200 towards the hurricane relief. Lastly, our chapter continued to be heavily involved in the Pepperdine Greek community by participating, again, in every event on campus as well as placing top three in numerous events and even won the overall title for Sigma Chi Derby Day’s powderpuff tournament.

Overall 2017 was filled with so many laughs, smiles, and memories our sisters will cherish for a lifetime. From the philanthropies, to the internships, to the sisterhood events each and every sister can walk away with a smile on their face knowing they made a huge impact on the Eta Beta chapter this year. We look forward to seeing what 2018 brings our sisters.

Our biggest areas for improvement last year were ritual and philanthropy. Ritual was a focal point for our chapter, especially Initiation ritual. We are continuing to strengthen ritual by reviewing a piece of ritual at each chapter. We have made a lot of progress and look forward to Initiation this month. We also worked on our philanthropy, Kappa Klassic, in an attempt to raise more money for Reading is Fundamental. Unfortunately our philanthropy is not as profitable as we would like due to circumstances including students not knowing how to play golf, as well as the poor condition of Indiana University’s golf course. We haves started brainstorming of new ideas for this upcoming fall philanthropy event in order to challenge our chapter to raise as much money as we can for Reading is Fundamental.

This year our chapter continued to raise money for the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation, Reading Is Fundamental (RIF), and the Kappa Kares Program; For the Kappa Kares Program our chapter chose to support the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

==Highlights of 2012==
+
The Eta Beta chapter chose to support the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention after being presented this charity during chapter in the fall of 2016. This foundation was presented by Juliette Bai who had close ties with the AFSP. She shared the tragic story about how her best friend from high school died from suicide the year prior. She also discussed how mental health is one of the top issues in the country and numerous sisters agreed that this foundations mission was moving and personal to our chapter. For these reasons the chapter agreed that AFSP was what the sister wanted to raise money for the following year.

'''Philanthropic Involvement:'''
 
−
Last spring we went to Rodgers Elementary School in Bloomington and read to some of the children there. We will also be doing that in the upcoming weeks. Kappa Kickoff was a flag football tournament hosted this past fall, and was a new event for Delta chapter. Since our big annual philanthropy event is always in the fall, we are brainstorming new ideas now, and figuring out whether we want to expand on Kappa Kickoff, or go with an entirely new idea. At our fall retreat, each member brought a book and we did a book drive for Reading is Fundamental. We will do another one this spring before the year ends.  Members of the Delta Chapter also participated in Indiana University Dance Marathon in October, helping to raise over $2,100,000 for Riley Children's Hospital.
 
  
−
'''Scholarships:'''
+
The Eta Beta Chapter meets every Sunday at 6pm in the Fireside Classroom on Pepperdine's Campus; Chapter Council meets one hour prior to our regular chapter meeting (5pm).
−
During the spring of 2012, Riley Hoffman was awarded the Dreisbach Scholarship, Kendall Loseff was given the Herstenstein scholarship, and Lauren Wolkhamer received the Holland Award.  This fall Mai Lyn Matern received the Byrum/Kimball Award and Jenny Goodwin was given the Dobbins Award.

'''Alumnae:'''
+
==Highlights of 2018==
−
This fall we held an alumni dinner here at Kappa, which was welcome to all.  Delta alumni came from out of state to attend this dinner and they, along with other alumni who have made visits, were given a tour of the house and informed of the changes and current workings of Kappa.  Alumni came to IU's Little 500 Race and spent time with the Kappa bike team.  Monthly emails have been sent out to keep the alumni up to date with everything within Kappa.
 
−
 
 
−
'''Challenges and How They Were Overcome:'''
 
−
We have been working toward improving our house GPA by holding Kappa Kappachino on Sundays which include snacks along with a set four hour period to do work in the formal dining room or the chapter room at Kappa.  We have also worked toward improving our risk management with a buddy system and maintaining positive standards.  When brought down to standards, girls are given a way to make their mistakes into a positive learning experience for the house as a whole.  Girls are also called down to standards for various achievements or noticeably good behavior.
 
−
 
 
−
Another way that our chapter tried to overcome challenges that we faced last spring and fall was the Leadership Action Plan.  Under this program, there were four different focus levels each coded by a different color.  Yellow represented self discovery and intellectual development, red was interpersonal development, green included leadership and skill building, and blue represented understanding and appreciation of Kappa.  During the spring semester, the color yellow's actions were to plan two academically focused chapters, to instate "Smarty-Pants of the Week" to recognize academic achievements, and to plan a presentation at the beginning of the semester on the Chapter Budget.  Under the color red the plan included to reach out to local alumnae to help with our next recruitment, to host an alumni brunch, and to plan one large sisterhood event each month and small weekly activities.  Under the color green, we worked to reorganize committees to mobilize members and enhance Delta's efficiency and have white board sign-ups for announcements at chapter.  Finally, under the color blue, we conducted a ritual workshop at the beginning of the semester and reviewed one piece of Kappa History or Ritual each chapter meeting.
 
−
 
 
−
For the fall semester of 2012, under the color yellow we planned a academically focused chapter that semester,  provided assistance for members who are not staying academically focused, and emphasized academics during recruitment by setting a standard GPA limit.  For red, we reached out once again to local alumnae to help with our next recruitment, planned one large sisterhood event each month with small weekly activities, and held a recruitment oriented sophomore and junior bonding activity.  For green, we worked to assist the philanthropy chair in outlining ways to improve philanthropy project for next term and did a presentation on chapter motivation.  Lastly, under the color blue, we reviewed one piece of Kappa history or ritual at each chapter meeting.  Under the Leadership Action Plan, we successfully overcame the challenges we were having extra difficulty with and we are continuing this effort to ensure the success of our chapter.

'''Initiation:'''
 
−
Thirty three girls were initiated on February 26th, 2012.  A few mothers of the girls who were being initiated are also Kappas, so they came and helped with initiation as well.  The weekend started with flowerside on the 24th, then Fireside the 25th, and ending with Initiation. 
 
−
 
 
−
Recent changes on Indiana University's campus include the addition of two new chapters to the Greek community.  As a house, we have made an effort to reach out to these new chapters to show them our support and make them feel welcome.  In terms of our own chapter, it is evident that our house includes a group of hard working, determined women who care deeply about maintaining a positive reputation in the Greek community and on campus and continue to have a strong academic performance.

2013 was a great year for Kappa Kappa Gamma. Starting on January 1, 2013 Delta chapter welcomed 41 new Kappas into our home after a great recruitment. A member in the new pledge class was a contestant in the Miss Greek IU pageant which raises money and awareness for the Jimmy V foundation. We put on our annual Mom’s weekend where we had a lovely catered dinner for all of the members and their moms in the student union building along with a silent auction. We had girls go to the elementary school in Bloomington, Indiana to read to the students as well as other service activities. Our Little 500 bike team, which had 4 members, came in first place during the qualifications for Little 500! The registrar created a display to show many old archives for all of the members to see for Founder’s Day in September.

−
During the fall semester of 2013 we put on our philanthropy event, Kappasta, for the first time and it was very successful. We raised over $5,000 for the American Cancer Society. Throughout the semester we had members participate in other sorority and fraternity philanthropy events such as Pi Beta Phi’s event called Pi Burger Phi. All of the members in the freshman pledge class were dancers for the Indiana University Dance Marathon and danced for either 18 or 36 hours and also contributed to raising over 2.1 million dollars for Riley’s Children hospital. We had our Dad’s Weekend where we set up a catered tailgate before a football game for all of the members in the chapter and their fathers to enjoy.

The Delta chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma at Indiana University is a well-known name around campus. We are known for our diverse group of intelligent, unique, and fun young women. The majority of our members are involved with many organizations outside of the chapter. Many members are involved with the Indiana University Dance Marathon. We have multiple members who are committee directors and who are members of different committees. Also, multiple members are a part of the Indiana University Student Foundation, Women In Business, multiple honor societies, and much more. One major change we have made this past year is to get all of the members of our chapter more involved in other sorority and fraternity philanthropy events.

2014 proved to be a very exciting year for the Delta chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma. In January, we welcomed 44 new members. The second week of the new members being in the house, we had a cabin retreat in Brown County, Indiana. Here, the new members bonded as a pledge class and also with the house as a whole.

In February, one of our new members participated in Miss Greek IU. Miss Greek IU is Delta Chi’s philanthropy on campus that raises money for the V Foundation. Most of our chapter showed up to cheer Abby on and she made us very proud! Also, in February we had our mom’s weekend! Our mom’s came for the entire weekend in which we had dinner, an auction, a night out on the town, painting class, cooking class, and many more fun activities!
 
  
−
We initiated 41 new members in early March. This was an incredible and amazing experience for everyone involved. Also, towards the end of March were the annual qualifications for Little 500 and we had 4 girls participate, and we qualified for Little 500!
+
2018 was a testing time on the Malibu community. Faced with the devastating Woolsey Fire that affected Malibu, the Eta Beta chapter cancelled fall formal and donated the chapter's funds for formal to help relief efforts instead. The fires forced our campus to close for a week before Thanksgiving and all students had to evacuate. The members of Kappa Kappa Gamma all came together to support one another through this time. In 2018, Alex Case was the Vice President of Recruitment for Panhellenic. Sydney Sauter was elected as Panhellenic President for 2019. In the spring and fall, four members had a 4.0 GPA.
  
−
The Little 500 race was in late April and we had an amazing time cheering on our dedicated bike team.

Pepperdine University has had an increasing freshman class the past few years. As the campus grows, the number of new members has increased as well. This year we had 25 new members. This year we focused on being more engaged and active on campus within other Greek Life philanthropies, campus events, etc. We had this same goal during recruitment as well.
  
−
In May of 2014, we said goodbye to our seniors who graduated. We are so proud of them and everything they’ve accomplished!

Our chapter supports Lung Cancer Alliance in support of our sister, Sarah Landers, who presented this organization to the chapter because her father passed away from lung cancer.
  
−
Our summer months were spent constantly missing each and every one of our sisters. There wasn’t a day that went by without us sending each other a text or leaving a voicemail about how excited we were all to head back to Bloomington. At the end of August we were all reunited once again and our new pledge class moved into the house for their first time.
+
==Highlights of 2020s==
  
−
In September, school was in full swing and we were all so excited to be back. We head our annual Kappasta event in which we raised money for Reading is Fundamental and the American Cancer Society. Overall, we raised over $8,000!

In October, we had our annual barn dance date party! It was so much fun and the girls can’t wait for the next one.

This year was filled with many challenges due to COVID-19.  However, with those challenges our Chapter was able to come together, rise to the occasion, and adapt to our new circumstances. Pepperdine University went completely online on March 13, 2020 and from that day on our chapter operated completely virtually and will continue to do so in the coming year. While the shift to virtual was less than desirable, I am proud of our chapter for our ability to adapt to our new circumstances successfully.In March when our University went unexpectedly online, our Chapter Council’s goal was to ensure that our sisterhood remain connected and continued to offer a support system to all of our sisters for the duration of the semester even if we could not physically be together. As a chapter we held virtual yoga classes, virtual movie nights, virtual chapter events and zoom mental health check ins.Over the summer our Eta Beta President, Leila Anawalt attended the Kappa convention which had to be virtual this year due to COVID-19. Our head of membership and chapter President worked diligently to prepare for virtual recruitment. They held a virtual recruitment training session to prepare everyone how to maneuver breakout rooms and foster authentic and valuable conversation with PNM’s on zoom. Our virtual recruitment began on September 4thand our virtual bid night took place on September 7th. We had two nights of sisterhood, pref night and then bid day. While everyone wished we could have been in person for recruitment,we still managed to develop authentic connections and have great conversations with so many girls. On pref night we were still able to highlight what makes Kappa so special to us each and every member. We had individual members speak to the friendships and bonds they have found throughout their time in Kappa and we wrote and shared a few sentences about what we saw in each girl we invited back to pref night and our hopes for what they too will find in Kappa. Usually on Bid day there is screaming and jumping and hugging and while I wish more than anything we could have had that this year, there was still screaming, and jumping and*virtual* hugging via zoom. The same level of excitement for new members joining our sisterhood was still present through the screen. Since COVID-19 did not allow us to have an in-person celebration with food and balloons and so much more, our new member mom Lauren Graney sent each new member a card and special package to formally welcome them to Kappa. After completing their new member education requirements, the new members were ready and excited to be initiated. As Marshal I attended multiple virtual training sessions where I learned the guidelines and expectations for virtual initiation. On the morning of October 31st, we held a virtual initiation for our new members where they were able to learn more about the ritual that makes Kappa so special! Throughout the duration of the Fall semester we held virtual sisterhood events,virtual philanthropy events, had guest speakers come to chapter and held a virtual pumpkin carving mixer with Delta Gamma!
  
−
In November, most of our chapter participated in Indiana University Dance Marathon (IUDM)! This is a 36 hour dance marathon (no sitting, no sleeping) that helps raise money for Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis, IN. As a house, we raised over $30,000, and the grand total of the marathon was $3, 206,340.22 all for the kids at Riley! Kappa is extremely involved in the dance marathon and many of the girls have joined committees. Also, November was our annual dad’s weekend. We took our dads to a tailgate and football game and loved being able to spend time with them!
+
As a chapter this year we supported RIF and the JED Foundation.This year we chose to support the JED Foundation in addition to RIF because it was a foundation near and dear to our sister Fernanda’s heart. The JED Foundation is a non-profit organization works to protect emotional health and prevent suicide for teens and young adults in the United States. JED’s work is so important particularly in today’s society due toCOVID-19 where millions of people are feeling more isolated, alone and depressed than ever before. The JED Foundation partners with local schools and universities to strengthen their mental health, substance misuse, and suicide prevention programs.While we could not hold an in-person philanthropy event like we normally would, we decided to adjust and hold a virtual philanthropy campaign via our social media. As a chapter we were able to spread awareness about the importance of mental health and resources for those struggling and we were able to raise and donate $450 for the JED Foudnation and we donated $350 to RIF. We made our donation on “Giving Tuesday” and our donations were each then doubled by the organizations!Other philanthropic efforts our chapter made this semester did not directly go to an organization rather it went to better our local community. On October 25th and October 30thour head of philanthropy, Olivia decided to launch a “Kappa Klean Up” initiative where she encouraged sisters to get outside and pick-up trash in their community (with gloves and proper sanitary equipment)!
  
−
December was very exciting for all of us. We had our winter formal in the beginning of the month, and then we had to start preparing for finals and Winter Break. Over winter break, we said goodbye to two more girls who graduated. We are so proud of  them and all of their hard work!
+
Over the summer in the aftermath of the atrocity committed by the police officers who murdered George Floyd our chapter council met and discussed how to best educate our chapter on the racial injustices taking place today and how our chapter could get involved. We decided to hold a virtual discussion as a chapter in order to foster an open dialogue. Our virtual gathering over the summer about racial injustices allowed sisters to share their own experiences, ask questions and make suggestions on how we can get involved as a chapter. Asa chapter we launched a social media campaign showing Eta Beta’s support of the Black Lives Matter movement and encouraging others to get involved and individually make donations to the Black Lives Matter Foundation, sign petitions and join marches in their individual communities. We had so many sisters in the streets peacefully protesting and marching and making donations to the BLM Foundation.Later in the semester we appointed our first ever DEI chairman named Sydney and we hope to continue and grow that position every year going forward!
  
 +
This year was Kappa’s 150th anniversary! Since COVID-19 prohibited our chapter from gathering in person, we had our education chairman Megan give a presentation in chapter about Kappa’s history and as a chapter on October 13th our chapter attended the Kappa National’s Virtual Founders Day Facebook Live celebration!

The Early Years[edit]

Colonization:

Kappa Kappa Gamma came to the shores of sunny California on April 1, 1996, as the Fraternity pledged 60 young women of the local sorority Zeta Kappa, and four alumnae, at Pepperdine University establishing the colony that became the Eta Beta Chapter. The pledging ceremony took place in the Pepperdine Chapel overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

Alumnae in the Malibu, Calif., area joined chapter members from UCLA, USC (Calif.), and Cal. State, Northridge. Before pledging Kappa Kappa Gamma, the group was a longstanding local sorority-the largest on campus. At the University's request, the entire sorority system sought national affiliation. Other National Panhellenic Conference members colonizing on the Pepperdine campus were Alpha Phi, Delta Delta Delta, Delta Gamma, Gamma Phi Beta, Pi Beta Phi, and Sigma Kappa.

The previous information was excerpted from The Key, Volume 113, No. 2, Summer 1996.


Installation:

The fog rolled off the Pacific Ocean as 37 undergraduates and 24 alumnae were initiated to the Eta Beta Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity October 4-5, 1996 at Pepperdine University, Malibu, Calif. Cal. State Northridge, assisted by UCLA, and USC (Calif.). Other Panhellenic groups on campus included Alpha Phi, Gamma Phi Beta, Delta Gamma, Delta Delta Delta, Pi Beta Phi, and Sigma Kappa.

The previous information was excerpted from The Key, Volume 113, No. 4, Winter 1996.

The information that follows has been gleaned from available resources including Chapter History Reports, chapter meeting minutes, letters and comments from chapter members and alumnae, the Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity Archives, and The Key. Each chapter is expected to update its history record annually. Contact Fraternity Headquarters at kkghq@kkg.org with questions.

Highlights of the 1990s[edit]

From chapter’s History Report: Scholarship, group honors/awards, traditions, special events, changes on campus or within chapter, overall nature of the chapter, chapter goals, challenges and how they were overcome, etc.:

The biggest event of 1996 was the colonization of Eta Beta in April, and the installation of Kappa’s 125th chapter in October. Actives and alumnae from northern and southern California participated in the ceremony as well as Fraternity President Cathy Thompson Carswell, Illinois Wesleyan, and former Fraternity President J.J. Fraser Wales, Ohio State. The new chapter added 18 members in late 1996 with its first pledge class which was above the All Sorority Average GPA and won the Homecoming spirit cup.

Eta Beta was challenged to incorporate Kappas rules and traditions with the traditions they cherished from their Zeta Beta days, but did so beautifully with continued support from Kappas nationwide and their advisers. The chapter adopted the Fraternity Challenge to Excellence as the chapter goal.

Socially, the chapter enjoyed their Spring Formals, Presents, Fall Balls, and winter Kappa Krush and Mad Hatter parties.

The chapter celebrated its one year anniversary in April 1997 by winning the Best New Chapter award at the 1997 Kappa Province meeting. Also in 1997, Eta Beta was honored to travel to San Diego to help install Kappa’s 126th chapter at the University of San Diego. Informal rush in the fall of 1997 added six more members to the chapter

Eta Beta continued it’s academic excellence into the late 1990’s and had the highest GPA of Greek groups on campus in fall 1998. During this time, the chapter also successfully challenged itself to inrease participation to 80% at mandatory events and to have one sisterhood event a month.


Philanthropy: The new chapter participated in Stepforward Day, a campus wide event to clean up highways, beaches and public schools in the Malibu area. They also participated in the Malibu Chili cookoff, and delivered food to needy families through a local church. They continued their participation in the chili cookoff and Stepforward events throughout the rest of the 1990’s.


Highlights of 2000-2010[edit]

From chapter’s History Report: Scholarship, group honors/awards, traditions, special events, changes on campus or within chapter, overall nature of the chapter, chapter goals, challenges and how they were overcome, etc.:

On campus, Eta Beta was involved in many activities including Songfest and Homecoming, while maintaining excellence in academics. At the Annual Campus Greek Awards in 2004, the chapter received the Rock of the Year Award and the Inter-Sorority Spirit Award. Yearly goals included working on improving attendance and chapter involvement, moral and sisterhood, organization and timely payments, adviser relations and Panhellenic spirit.

In 2006, Eta Beta hosted the Kappa Province meeting. At the Pepperdine Greek Awards in 2008, Eta Betas won Officer of the Year, and President of the Year. In 2009, one quarter of the chapter studied abroad in one semester. The remaining members bonded by getting together for pledge class dinners and to watch the show Gossip Girl together. Weekly study hours and weekly Bible Study were a part of this chapter's traditions.

To recognize the tragedies of September 11, 2001, Eta Beta participated in a school wide prayer which took place to pray for the victims and their families. The convocation was also dedicated to those lost on September 11.

Philanthropy:

Eta Beta participated in Step-Forward Day, and campus wide community service project where they spent the day at St. Monica's Parish. Chapter member also went down to Melrose in Los Angeles to represent Kappa in the annual AIDS Walk. Eta Beta held a Kappa King competition among the fraternities with the proceedes donated to the Special Olympics. Eta Betas participated in City of Hope's Walk for Hope for breast cancer awareness.


Chapter Convention Awards: 2008 Rose McGill


Highlights of 2011-2019[edit]

From chapter’s History Report: Scholarship, group honors/awards, traditions, special events, changes on campus or within chapter, overall nature of the chapter, chapter goals, challenges and how they were overcome, etc.:

Highlights of 2012[edit]

One of the biggest achievements regarding philanthropic Involvement is that this past year, our chapter won 10 years of Sigma Chi Derby Days supporting City of Hope. In addition, we successfully put on Kappa Karaoke, our philanthropy that supports School on Wheels. Eta Beta participated in Step Forward Day, a campus wide community service project.

Secondly, we have come up with new chapter goals and successful ideas of implementation. We are aiming to reallocate burdget accordingly and increase understanding of Kappa Foundation and Kappa Ritual. One example of a challenge we are planning to overcome is creating new fun ways to be involved in the chapter, such as 6 Kappa Founder Awards so that we can increase chapter attendance.

New Greek Panhellic Leader: Alex Nicandros Overall Nature of the Chapter: With the new installation of the chapter council, the environment takes on a feel of excitement. We are very optimistic for this upcoming year because of the amount of involved women that are prepared to continue old traditions while still bringing new ideas to the table.

Highlights of 2013[edit]

The Eta Beta Chapter had a very successful 2013. We improved to the 3rd place sorority ranking for academics, we began conducting trips for RIF to read to children in Santa Monica, we won the Most Improved Chapter award at Province, and we held a very effective “Kappa Klassic” philanthropy event. In addition, our recruitment was wonderful and had very high retention rates of potential new members throughout the process. Since coming off of our focus letter, our chapter has improved tremendously and become very involved.

Greek Life on the Pepperdine campus has become a lot more involved with other groups including athletics and various clubs. There have been more events promoting unity as an entire student body. The Eta Beta chapter has been very involved in these events as well as the philanthropic events of the other sororities and fraternities. The chapter is very hard working, passionate about Kappa, and possesses strong leadership qualities. We have a very strong sisterhood, which has created a great deal of Kappa pride.


Highlights of 2014[edit]

In the past year Kappa has put together their annual philanthropy Kappa Kappa Gameday to support the Ebenezer Foundation, which was started as a non-profit foundation by, recently graduated, Alex Chistolini. Our chapter has also participated in Sigma Chi's Derby Days where our chapter of Eta Beta received a recognition from the City of Hope Hospital for our continuous hard work over the past ten years. Also, several Kappa's volunteered at Pepperdine's Step Forward Day to support and help out less fortunate areas of Pepperdine.

The chapter of Eta Beta has become more involved on our campus and philanthropies. Everyone is involved in all aspects of the Pepperdine community. Our sisterhood has also grown stronger over the past year.

Our chapter holds meeting in the University owned rooms. Our chapter does not own a house, therefore many sisters room together in off campus apartments. These apartments are rented by the girls separately and are not owned by the chapter. Some apartments only have two sisters living there but other apartments have more than two sisters living in them.


Highlights of 2015[edit]

Our chapter has had high attendance at most philanthropy events organized by other sororities and fraternities. Thus we received great amount of support for our annual philanthropy in the Spring semester. This allowed us to raise money for the Kind Campaign. Additionally, a few of our members, our President, and one of our advisors attended a regional meeting this year. Another Eta Beta member also attended the Leadership Academy in September. This year we also decided to support a fellow Kappa through the Rose McGill foundation. Our whole chapter donated enough money to be able to buy gift cards for a Kappa in need. Overall our chapter has set goals to improve and grow every year.

Our campus has begun to push for athletes and Greek life to become more involved with each other. Our chapter supported the athletes by attending athletic events to support this movement. Also, our campus has been a place of recent social movements by some students. Our president of the university addressed this by assuring the students that there will be less inequality and more diversification in the future. Overall our chapter is always willing to help where is needed whether it’s showing up to other philanthropies or supporting our campus.

Chapter Philanthropy: What organization(s) has your chapter historically/traditionally raised money for, or donated hours to, in your community? The Eta Beta chapter has supported Reading is Fundamental by raising money and organizing a book drive for donations. Also, the Eta Beta chapter donated $200 to the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation. Additionally, we have raised $5,000 for our annual philanthropy, the Kind Campaign, which supports girls who have been a victim of girl-on-girl crime. This fall we have also participated in our universities annual Step Forward Day where we volunteer in our community. We had the opportunity to volunteer for School on Wheels in Ventura.

Why did your chapter choose this organization(s) to support? Traditionally, we have participated in the Kappa Kares program by selecting a new philanthropy each year for our chapter to support. Although the philanthropy normally changes every year, Eta Beta is constantly focused on supporting sisters through philanthropy. We have supported multiple sisters’ philanthropies through the years and will continue to do so for years to come. We chose to do the Kind Campaign for our philanthropy this year because it was co-founded by an Eta Beta alumnus, Lauren Paul. The Kind Campaign is a movement against girl-on-girl crime. Thus we felt a close connection to the organization and the cause.

Highlights of 2016[edit]

This past year the Eta Beta chapter was presented the New Member Programming Award at the Kappa convention as well as receiving honorable mentions for Gracious Living for an Unhoused Chapter, Recruitment, and Chapter Management. These awards and honorable mentions were a huge honor and accomplishment for the Eta Beta chapter and have encouraged the chapter to continue to grow and strengthen.

In 2016, the Eta Beta chapter also improved its philanthropic attendance and involvement within the university’s Greek Life. In fact, the chapter won the 2016 Alpha Fifa philanthropy, a soccer tournament presented by Alpha Phi. Additionally, the chapter actively participates in weekly Greek organizations’ philanthropic events, such as attending university supported Convocations, auctions, skit nights, Coffeehouse music events, as well as each fraternity and sorority’s official philanthropic events. The chapter has also improved interfraternal relations as Eta Beta designates ambassadors for each fraternity and sorority on campus in order to make announcements of upcoming events as well as maintain and strengthen fraternal relations. Eta Beta has also strengthened their Panhellenic involvement as a member of Eta Beta serves as Pepperdine’s Panhellenic president.

Additionally, the chapter has made good use of designated Committee Chapter nights, in which the chapter as a whole is broken into committees to address ways to improve the chapter and set semester and year-long goals.

Eta Beta also continued its biannual Academic Teas which feature a panel of accomplished women in differing job fields who offer advice and encouragement to the chapter in regards to academics. The Academic Teas also recognize chapter members who have earned high GPAs during the semester. In the Fall of 2016 more than 15 girls were recognized for receiving a GPA of 3.6 or above. Additionally, in 2016 two girls were presented with a pearl dangle to be worn on her badge. The pearl dangle represents the highest achievement of academic excellence and are only awarded to girls who receive a 4.0 GPA.

In 2016 Pepperdine University’s campus experienced many pushes in increasing on-campus diversity and cultural acceptance. Events for this movement included open forum discussions led by the university’s president and topics included the US presidential election and racial diversity awareness on-campus. This proactive push on campus has been well accepted by the student body as a whole and has increased sentiments of mutual understanding and acceptance among students.

The overall nature of the Eta Beta chapter has improved in the areas of sisterhood and fraternal involvement in 2016. Sisterhood and participation have been a focus during 2016 and the chapter experienced an increase in interfraternal involvement on campus and experienced a increase in members being engaged in Kappa events and wanting to participate on Eta Beta’s chapter council. Additionally, members of the chapter are involved in all aspects of campus life and participate as leaders in the community through their positions in on-campus jobs and positions on the Panhellenic board.

Historically members of the Eta Beta chapter have participated in service hour opportunities through organizations such as Jumpstart and Project Serve. Additionally, every year the Eta Beta chapter as a whole participates in Pepperdine’s annual Step Forward Day, in which service groups orchestrated by the university go out and serve underprivileged communities in the LA area. This year one of the members of the Eta Beta chapter was the event planner of the entire Step Forward Day event. The chapter was honored that one of their own put on such an amazing event that benefited so many people in our neighboring communities.

Additionally in keeping with Kappa tradition, the Eta Beta chapter supports Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) as well as the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation. This year the chapter was able to donate $175 for the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation. Additionally, Eta Beta supported RIF through funds raised during its annual philanthropic event Kappa Kappa Gameday, book drives throughout the year, as well as an event called Kappa & Queso which featured a queso cook off competition and book drive. Through Kappa & Queso, the chapter was able to raise $1,406 and 26 books for RIF. The chapter also participated in a RIF trip in the Spring of 2016, in which the girls visited an underprivileged elementary school and encouraged literacy by reading books to the students and donating books to the school. Eta Beta also upheld their tradition of supporting the Rose McGill Foundation with a Christmas donation for $200 to a family in need during the holidays.

During 2016 Eta Beta had the privilege of supporting the Susan G. Komen Foundation for their annual philanthropy event; Kappa Kappa Gameday. Kappa Kappa Gameday included an auction night and an inspirational speaker, who was a breast cancer survivor, and concluded with flag football tournament all benefitting the Susan G. Komen foundation. In total the chapter raised $9,635.91 for Susan G. Komen.

Members of the Eta Beta chapter decide to participate in individual service hours and projects based on their own personal preferences as well as the traditions and overall pro-service environment of the chapter and university. The chapter’s involvement with RIF and the Kappa Kappa Gamma foundation is built from fraternity tradition as well as the Kappa nationals’ philanthropic requirements. As far as Eta Beta’s involvement with the Susan G. Komen Foundation, this involvement came freely from the members of the chapter as the ladies deemed the organization to be an upright and worthy cause to support for their annual philanthropy event.

The Eta Beta chapter is an unhoused chapter of Kappa that meets in the Fireside Room on Pepperdine’s campus. This spacious multi-purpose room boasts panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and serves as a lovely unofficial home for the chapter and accommodates the entire chapter with chairs and tables.

Highlights of 2017[edit]

Eta Beta Chapter, 2017

2017 was a year full of friendship, sisterhood, and memories for the Kappa Kappa Gamma Eta Beta chapter at Pepperdine University. To start the year off in January, the Eta Beta chapter transitioned it Chapter Council positions passing on its traditions and leadership to a new group of strong and hardworking sisters. Following this, the chapter was heavily involved on campus attending and raising money for all of the philanthropies hosted by the other Greek life chapters on campus. The chapter worked hard and achieved placing top 3 in numerous events throughout the first semester of the year. The Eta Beta's philanthropy came nothing short of amazing as our Philanthropy Chair, Elizabeth Ford, hosted our annual Kappa Kappa Gameday, a flag football tournament and tailgate. Gameday was a huge success and the chapter ended up raising just over $10,000 for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. The Eta Beta Chapter continued with their philanthropic achievement by having a semester annual RIF book drive where the members donated books to an underprivileged elementary school in downtown Los Angeles and even got to spend the day reading these books to the kids. Overall the RIF event brought in almost 60 books.

Towards the end of the semester our chapter studied hard as they prepared for finals week. Our events chair Mikaela Bisson thought it would be a good idea to have an event to help the Eta Beta chapter relax during this stressful time. So, our chapter had a Kappa study break at one of the member’s homes in the Pacific Palisades where the girls hung out, talked, and ate a lot of yummy baked goods. This sister study break brought the chapter together and even relieved some of the stresses that come with the end of the semester.

Even though the summer time is a chance for relaxation and leisure the Eta Beta chapter was still working hard where numerous members started incredible internships across the country. Just to name a few of these incredible internships our chapter has held this summer: our sister Haley Bekins interned with the presidential campaign for Donald Trump at his campaign headquarters in Nebraska, Elizabeth Ford interned with E! News in their Publicity department in Los Angeles, Shannon Hansen interned with Buzzfeed in their Journalism department in Los Angeles, Julia Latimer interned in the White House at the Presidential office of the United States Trade Representative, and Lauren Gottschall interned with the Los Angeles Dodgers in their Athletic Training department. This is just a short list of the numerous internships our sisters held this summer.

Eta Beta Chapter (Pepperdine), 2017

When the Fall season came around so did recruitment. This years recruitment theme was Kappa, Love, and Rock N’ Roll, a fun a playful theme we thought represented our chapter. A great new edition to the chapter’s recruitment room this year were the new 6 foot painted wooden letters done by our very own house chair Kat Perry. With the leadership of our philanthropy chair, Kaitlin Rassi, the Eta Beta Chapter grew with 23 new members. The Chapter made the new members feel right at home by hosting events like Senior-New Member brunch, Big- Little reveal, and Blue and Blue dinner. Things like these brought about a new sisterhood that lead to our incredible initiation which was held at the USC Kappa Kappa Gamma’s Delta Tau Chapter on November 11th.

This fall the Eta Beta Chapter held its first ever parents weekend event during Pepperdine annual weekend. ‘Kappa Hour’ was an incredible success! Hosted by our incredible House Chairman, Kat Perry, sisters got a chance to mingle with the Chapter’s parents, eat a delicious lunch, and inform the parents on how Kappa has impacted their daughters over the years. Overall this event will become a tradition for Eta Beta for years to come.

Another new event our Chapter got to have this year was a bonfire sisterhood event held by our Standards Chair, Julia Latimer. This event was at the beautiful Point Dume Beach in Malibu. The Chapter got to crowd around a fire, roast marshmallows, and take part in numerous interactive sisterhood games all while soaking in the stunning view of the sunset. The evening was full of smiles, laughs, and memories with sisters that the chapter will not forget.

Our philanthropic involvement continued during the fall semester for the Eta Beta chapter. The semester started off on a high note as the chapter participated in Pepperdine’s annual Step Forward day, an event held by the school where groups go out into the Los Angeles communities and serve numerous different organizations. This year Kappa got to volunteer at the Malibu Boys and Girls Club where they organized and help clean the entire facility. Another amazing thing our chapter participated in this Fall was the Out of the Darkness Walk hosted by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, the same foundation we had support in the spring for our main philanthropy event. This was a time devoted to bringing awareness to the community about mental health and our sisters were proud to represent such an incredible cause. The Eta Beta chapter hosted a new RIF event this fall called Books and Bowls with Kappa. This event was hosted on campus where our chapter sold acai bowls to the Pepperdine community. In total we raised $800 thanks to the help of Backyard Bowls who donated 100% of their services to help with our cause. Our Chapter also gave back to the Rose McGill Fund this year by raising $200 towards the hurricane relief. Lastly, our chapter continued to be heavily involved in the Pepperdine Greek community by participating, again, in every event on campus as well as placing top three in numerous events and even won the overall title for Sigma Chi Derby Day’s powderpuff tournament.

Overall 2017 was filled with so many laughs, smiles, and memories our sisters will cherish for a lifetime. From the philanthropies, to the internships, to the sisterhood events each and every sister can walk away with a smile on their face knowing they made a huge impact on the Eta Beta chapter this year. We look forward to seeing what 2018 brings our sisters.

This year our chapter continued to raise money for the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation, Reading Is Fundamental (RIF), and the Kappa Kares Program; For the Kappa Kares Program our chapter chose to support the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

The Eta Beta chapter chose to support the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention after being presented this charity during chapter in the fall of 2016. This foundation was presented by Juliette Bai who had close ties with the AFSP. She shared the tragic story about how her best friend from high school died from suicide the year prior. She also discussed how mental health is one of the top issues in the country and numerous sisters agreed that this foundations mission was moving and personal to our chapter. For these reasons the chapter agreed that AFSP was what the sister wanted to raise money for the following year.

The Eta Beta Chapter meets every Sunday at 6pm in the Fireside Classroom on Pepperdine's Campus; Chapter Council meets one hour prior to our regular chapter meeting (5pm).

Highlights of 2018[edit]

2018 was a testing time on the Malibu community. Faced with the devastating Woolsey Fire that affected Malibu, the Eta Beta chapter cancelled fall formal and donated the chapter's funds for formal to help relief efforts instead. The fires forced our campus to close for a week before Thanksgiving and all students had to evacuate. The members of Kappa Kappa Gamma all came together to support one another through this time. In 2018, Alex Case was the Vice President of Recruitment for Panhellenic. Sydney Sauter was elected as Panhellenic President for 2019. In the spring and fall, four members had a 4.0 GPA.

Pepperdine University has had an increasing freshman class the past few years. As the campus grows, the number of new members has increased as well. This year we had 25 new members. This year we focused on being more engaged and active on campus within other Greek Life philanthropies, campus events, etc. We had this same goal during recruitment as well.

Our chapter supports Lung Cancer Alliance in support of our sister, Sarah Landers, who presented this organization to the chapter because her father passed away from lung cancer.

Highlights of 2020s[edit]

This year was filled with many challenges due to COVID-19. However, with those challenges our Chapter was able to come together, rise to the occasion, and adapt to our new circumstances. Pepperdine University went completely online on March 13, 2020 and from that day on our chapter operated completely virtually and will continue to do so in the coming year. While the shift to virtual was less than desirable, I am proud of our chapter for our ability to adapt to our new circumstances successfully.In March when our University went unexpectedly online, our Chapter Council’s goal was to ensure that our sisterhood remain connected and continued to offer a support system to all of our sisters for the duration of the semester even if we could not physically be together. As a chapter we held virtual yoga classes, virtual movie nights, virtual chapter events and zoom mental health check ins.Over the summer our Eta Beta President, Leila Anawalt attended the Kappa convention which had to be virtual this year due to COVID-19. Our head of membership and chapter President worked diligently to prepare for virtual recruitment. They held a virtual recruitment training session to prepare everyone how to maneuver breakout rooms and foster authentic and valuable conversation with PNM’s on zoom. Our virtual recruitment began on September 4thand our virtual bid night took place on September 7th. We had two nights of sisterhood, pref night and then bid day. While everyone wished we could have been in person for recruitment,we still managed to develop authentic connections and have great conversations with so many girls. On pref night we were still able to highlight what makes Kappa so special to us each and every member. We had individual members speak to the friendships and bonds they have found throughout their time in Kappa and we wrote and shared a few sentences about what we saw in each girl we invited back to pref night and our hopes for what they too will find in Kappa. Usually on Bid day there is screaming and jumping and hugging and while I wish more than anything we could have had that this year, there was still screaming, and jumping and*virtual* hugging via zoom. The same level of excitement for new members joining our sisterhood was still present through the screen. Since COVID-19 did not allow us to have an in-person celebration with food and balloons and so much more, our new member mom Lauren Graney sent each new member a card and special package to formally welcome them to Kappa. After completing their new member education requirements, the new members were ready and excited to be initiated. As Marshal I attended multiple virtual training sessions where I learned the guidelines and expectations for virtual initiation. On the morning of October 31st, we held a virtual initiation for our new members where they were able to learn more about the ritual that makes Kappa so special! Throughout the duration of the Fall semester we held virtual sisterhood events,virtual philanthropy events, had guest speakers come to chapter and held a virtual pumpkin carving mixer with Delta Gamma!

As a chapter this year we supported RIF and the JED Foundation.This year we chose to support the JED Foundation in addition to RIF because it was a foundation near and dear to our sister Fernanda’s heart. The JED Foundation is a non-profit organization works to protect emotional health and prevent suicide for teens and young adults in the United States. JED’s work is so important particularly in today’s society due toCOVID-19 where millions of people are feeling more isolated, alone and depressed than ever before. The JED Foundation partners with local schools and universities to strengthen their mental health, substance misuse, and suicide prevention programs.While we could not hold an in-person philanthropy event like we normally would, we decided to adjust and hold a virtual philanthropy campaign via our social media. As a chapter we were able to spread awareness about the importance of mental health and resources for those struggling and we were able to raise and donate $450 for the JED Foudnation and we donated $350 to RIF. We made our donation on “Giving Tuesday” and our donations were each then doubled by the organizations!Other philanthropic efforts our chapter made this semester did not directly go to an organization rather it went to better our local community. On October 25th and October 30thour head of philanthropy, Olivia decided to launch a “Kappa Klean Up” initiative where she encouraged sisters to get outside and pick-up trash in their community (with gloves and proper sanitary equipment)!

Over the summer in the aftermath of the atrocity committed by the police officers who murdered George Floyd our chapter council met and discussed how to best educate our chapter on the racial injustices taking place today and how our chapter could get involved. We decided to hold a virtual discussion as a chapter in order to foster an open dialogue. Our virtual gathering over the summer about racial injustices allowed sisters to share their own experiences, ask questions and make suggestions on how we can get involved as a chapter. Asa chapter we launched a social media campaign showing Eta Beta’s support of the Black Lives Matter movement and encouraging others to get involved and individually make donations to the Black Lives Matter Foundation, sign petitions and join marches in their individual communities. We had so many sisters in the streets peacefully protesting and marching and making donations to the BLM Foundation.Later in the semester we appointed our first ever DEI chairman named Sydney and we hope to continue and grow that position every year going forward!

This year was Kappa’s 150th anniversary! Since COVID-19 prohibited our chapter from gathering in person, we had our education chairman Megan give a presentation in chapter about Kappa’s history and as a chapter on October 13th our chapter attended the Kappa National’s Virtual Founders Day Facebook Live celebration!
