The university is a merger of Downer Women’s College in Milwaukee and Lawrence College in Appleton and is a small, private, liberal arts institution. At the time of Zeta Epsilon’s founding, the campus had 1,100 students. Lawrence has a picturesque setting with graceful, limestone academic buildings and residential halls overlooking the Fox River. A magnificent memorial chapel inspires the compact campus and the quaint residential community in downtown Appleton. Paper mills line the Fox River, which cuts through the center of town. Among other strengths, Lawrence University’s Conservatory of Music attracts many students. The Greek system is small but strong, and demand was high among the women’s groups for a new chapter to join the campus. Panhellenic voted in the fall of 1980 to form an extension committee to research national groups and asked four to give a presentation in February of 1981. Fraternity President Sally Moore Nitschke, Beta Nu—Ohio State, traveled to Appleton in February to make the presentation to the Panhellenic and the extension committee along with representatives from Pi Beta Phi, Kappa Alpha Theta and Delta Gamma. The following month, Kappa was notified that it had been selected as the fourth sorority to join Lawrence University. The foundational Recruitment began the week of April 21–25 under the direction of Marjorie Converse, Gamma Delta—Purdue, Chairman of Extension. The leadership team also included Barbara Laitner, Beta Mu—Colorado, 1978–80 Field Secretary; Cathi Gelhaar, Epsilon PDA; Nancy Laitner, Diane Delayo, and Talby Hardy, 1980–81 Field Secretaries; Cathy Harrison, Laurie Schmidt and Lynn Atkinson, Eta—Wisconsin, members. Other Eta actives and Fox River Alumnae Association members also participated. On Thursday evening, a reception was held in the Gold Room in Downer Hall on campus. Punch, cookies, and a slideshow were enjoyed in addition to the beautiful singing by Eta members. Potential new members signed up for interviews to be held the next day. On Saturday, a celebratory luncheon was held in Colman Hall and all of the young women were presented with invitations to membership. To the thrill of everyone in the room, they accepted their bids unanimously! A short pledging service followed, and the remainder of the day was spent taking pictures, singing Kappa songs, and giving many hugs. ==Installation of Zeta Epsilon==The charter members were a diverse and multi-talented group with women from many states including Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, Kentucky and Wisconsin. Rugby, photography, tennis, politics, advertising, math, psychology, vocal performance and theatre are few of the interests. Diane Delayo and Talby Hardy stayed with the colony until June. Sheila Cloyes, Beta Mu—Colorado, was appointed their Graduate Counselor to help prepare them for Installation in the fall and assist in making their first official year as a chapter successful. Zeta Epsilon Chapter was installed at the local Masonic Temple on October 24, 1981. Fraternity President Sally Moore Nitschke, and Marjorie Moree Keith, Gamma Alpha—Kansas State, Director of Philanthropies, were the installing officers. Graduate Counselor Sheila Cloyes, Beta Mu—Colorado, and Field Secretary Wendy Paxton, Epsilon Omega—Dickinson, joined by Province Directors Cathy Bernotas Gelhaar, Epsilon—Illinois Wesleyan, and Jane Weinhagen Ullom, Epsilon Zeta—Florida State, assisted in making the weekend memorable. Local alumnae on various committees helped make the weekend a success. Alumnae and active chapters from Epsilon Province greeted the new chapter with many lovely gifts, and members of Eta—Wisconsin, served as big sisters while visitors from Upsilon—Northwestern, and Alpha Deuteron—Monmouth, also participated. Barbara Laitner, Beta Mu—Colorado, former Field Secretary, served as toastmistress for the banquet held at Dower Hall where Lawrence President Warch’s comments reflected interest and optimistic commitment to sororities on campus. The new Kappas were a diverse group, which included the cheerleading captain, student body president, an opera major, a rugby player and a language major who spoke Russian. Zeta Epsilon was off to a great start! ==The Early Years==In 1981, Kappa Kappa Gamma joined three other thriving sororities on the Lawrence University campus - Delta Gamma, Kappa Alpha Theta, and Pi Beta Phi. All of the sororities were strong on Lawrence’s little campus, and pledge classes were always 20 or more girls each year. Kappa 'Family lines' of five or six sisters each were created to help members get to know one another. Zeta Epsilon held ice cream socials, bowling parties, a pumpkin walk, and cookouts to get to know each other. Use of the correct Kappa ritual and sisterhoods were great strengths of this text new chapter. They established Kappa Krush (selling Orange Crush sodas with a note to be delivered to your crush) and Kappa Grab-a-Date events. In 1987 Kappa had the highest GPA on campus and was at quota for membership totals. ===Highlights of the 1990s=== Membership in all sororities at Lawrence University dropped in the 1990s, and sadly, Pi Phi disappeared from campus. 1994 - 1995 were tough years. There were attitude challenges, and Zeta Epsilon held a fall retreat to try to get things back on track. A lot of time and effort was expended by the VP Standards at this time. They established a chapter history by clicking edit near goal of SALSA - Sisterhood, Academics, Leadership, Social Activities. Zeta Epsilon held Round Robins, Kappa Krush parties, Pledge Formals, mixers, cookouts, tailgates, Shish-Ka-Quad parties, Panhel/IFC picnics, Pumpkin Walks, Murder Mystery parties, camping retreats, and Blue and Blue Dinners. They also participated in intermural sports and activities with other sororities and fraternities. Many hours were volunteered for the Fox Valley Domestic Abuse Center and the Children’s Booth at Celebrate. January 1999 brought a formal recruitment that yielded no new members, and a time of revamping and reorganization began. By the next school year, Kappa was first on campus in GPA, and they had a very successful Karamel Apple Sale to benefit the Fox Valley Domestic Abuse Center. Fraternity & Sorority Life now comprised 20% of the top rightcampus population.
==Highlights of 2000-2010==
==Highlights of 2010-2020==From 2012onward, Zeta Epsilon grew steadily through formal recruitment and COBs, often welcoming between 5–15 new members each year. Popular sisterhood events like Baskin Robbins lock-ins, Bjorklunden retreats, Nerd Days, and new member formals strengthened bonds, while annual traditions—including Too Hot to Handle (wing-eating contest), Kappa Krush (Crush soda fundraiser), and Kappa Karamel Apples—consistently raised money for Harbor House, our local philanthropy. The chapter earned recognition multiple times, such as Best Sisterhood, Most Panhellenic Sorority, and honorable mentions for ritual. Several members received scholarships, leadership awards, and opportunities to attend national Kappa events, strengthening ties with the broader organization. Academics were an ongoing focus: in early years we worked hard to improve GPAs and were eventually released from an academic focus plan. Leadership development was prioritized through officer retreats, programming meetings, and workshops like “Dress for Success.” By mid-decade, Zeta Epsilon expanded programming around diversity and inclusion, mental health, and personal well-being, hosting campus speakers and participating in Greek Diversity Initiative conversations. The chapter also developed closer ties with non-Panhellenic organizations on campus. Throughout 2016–2019, chapter pride and spirit grew stronger, with Greek Week victories, philanthropy successes, and intentional efforts to support one another. New traditions like Friendsgiving, spa/game nights for COB, and Founders Day brunches with alumnae became beloved annual events. 2019–2020 brought memorable milestones and challenges. Recruitment continued to bring enthusiastic new members, creative formals, and strong philanthropy events (like Kappa Kappaccino). Campus-wide, the Polar Vortex and new meal plan policies marked student life. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic forced a sudden shift to online activities, but the chapter adapted with Zoom sisterhood events, virtual recruitment, and creative big/little reveals. Despite the disruptions, we initiated new members, maintained philanthropy support for Harbor House, and continued celebrating traditions—including Kappa’s 150th anniversary virtually. This time also brought a fair amount of change, as several fraternities were lost, houses were exchanged on the Quad, and Beta Psi Nu, a local sorority, joined the wing. In the same way, it was during this time that the chapter also responded to the national Abolish Greek Life movement with honest reflection, DEI programming, and ongoing adjustments to recruitment and chapter culture to ensure inclusivity and belonging, which has allowed us to remain a tight-knit, resilient chapter - balancing challenges with creativity, maintaining philanthropic commitments, and growing stronger in sisterhood, leadership, and pride. ==Highlights of 2020== One of the first memories of 2020 was welcoming our new pledge class! During primary recruitment our first round was to have the potential new members get to know our chapter by casual conversations. In this round we inform the PNM of what Greek life is like at Lawrence and what the chapter is like. There are posters around the room that tell the PNM about all of our major and minors and the extracurricular activities everyone in is involved in. Round two is all about our philanthropy. This is when we inform them about the organizations that we support. During this round we colored bookmarks to give to the children for a local elementary school. This is the round where we get to know the PNM very well. Round 3 focused on our ritual. This round is more personalized to the PNM by telling then how we saw Kappa in them. We initiated our 7 new members on January 28 and January 29. Our philanthropy for winter term was “Kappa Kappaccino.” We sold coffee and donuts on campus to raise money for Harbor House. We had our new member formal on the second floor of Warch Campus Center. We provided snacks and drinks, along with multiple backdrops for pictures. We had multiple backdrops for pictures. This was a great event to celebrate your new members. On March 12 we were told that campus will be closed for next term do to the COVID-19 Pandemic. This was a very sad day for everyone because it meant one less term with our lovely seniors. To honor our seniors, we put on senior sendoff that Saturday to say goodbye. The sophomores sang a song to the seniors. We did change some of the lyrics to make them more Kappa oriented. The juniors performed a skit for the seniors as well. We then fulfilled our tradition where our seniors give us their old Kappa shirts and we all wear everything that we are given. By the end, we are all wearing several layers of clothing and we take a picture. Our last day on campus was on March 18 which was the last day for the school year of 2019-2020. Spring term was very different to everyone at Lawrence. This was the first term that was all online. To keep in touch during the pandemic we had Zoom coffee dates and other fun activites. We also tried to have movie nights on Friday, but we had some technology problems. Our chapter did not have a philanthropy event spring term due to COVID-19. Our first chapter activity together was on September 20 which was our first chapter meeting for the school year. It was different than normal because it was all online. It was so nice to see all of our sisters for the first time in 6 months. We had continuous open bidding online with themes of game night and spa night. We got two great new members. Our VP Membership went to their rooms to give them a little goodie bag. We celebrated together with an online Zoom bid night. We were able to do a trivia event about our new members in the style of Jeopardy. On November 7 we had big/little reveal. To reveal who the big and little pairings, the bigs did a TikTok. It was a great change on how we normally do big/little reveal due to COVID-19. This term we had the privilege to initiate two new members: Kate and Lyss on November 14, 2020 in an all-in-one ceremony, with Elmhurst University, because of the Pandemic. We had our election on November 8. Genesis was the head of Nomination Committee and presented the slate that we voted on. Lexi Praxel was elected as our new President. Ally Herrera was elected as standards. Elizabeth Liebou was elected as VP Operations. Sam Tolu was elected as VP Internal Affairs. Jessica Hopkins was elected as VP External Affairs. Kate James was elected as VP Finance. Sarah Yochem was elected as VP Membership. Anna Kallay was elected as VP Membership Development. Marlee Matthews was elected as Ritual and History Director. The philanthropy for fall term is that our chapter donated money to Harbor House for their needs. We are doing this because other types of philanthropy events are really hard to do because of COVID-19. Another obstacle that arose fall term was the movement of Abolish Greek Life. Our Chapter addressed this by having people from headquarters come to a chapter meeting to talk to us about the movement across the country. They also walked us through different situations on what could happen and where to go from there. The next meeting, we came up with ideas to improve and change the chapter for everyone. Also, during the meeting with headquarters, we talked about changing primary recruitment. We are currently in the process of adjusting recruitment, so everyone feels more welcomed. Overall, it was a great year filled with good and bad times. We learned through a pandemic that has taught us so much about each other and about ourselves. Chapter Philanthropies:Harbor HouseReading is Fundamental Kappa Kappa Gamma FoundationEach of these organizations represent the causes that are important for us as a chapter to support. The chapter included Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) training this year by adding a DEI officer. During fall term our chapter had a small committee that came up with different activities to talk about DEI. We had a speaker come to talk to the chapter about their experiences in Greek Life. We are also changing how the chapter does primary recruitment.
n January 2012To celebrate Kappa’s 150th anniversary, we had formal recruitment and got our largest New Member Class ever out of it - 15 girls. They were initiated in March. We had a lock-in at a Baskin Robbins as a sisterhood event, and it won us best sisterhood in our Panhellenic council. We had did the hot wing-eating contestvirtual ceremony on October 11, Too Hot To Handle, again for Spring Greek Week and it was very fun and successful2020 following a chapter meeting. Our President at chapter also decided to have the time, Hallie Witmer, attended Convention. We had COBs in readers for the Fall and got 5 more new members from it. We did a cakewalk for Fall Greek Week. We also did Kappa Karamel Apples at our school's homecoming football game. Throughout celebration to be around the year, country to show that we stayed on the academic excellence plan and continued logging our study hours, but are together even when we have not yet been able to get off the planare apart.

Late However, during Fall of 2021, we changed to support the JED Foundation in the Spring, our meeting room was broken intolight of KKG changing its philanthropy to mental health and well-being. We caught them and sent them chose to our campus’s Judicial Board. Their punishment was to each write us a letter support the JED Foundation as it is one of apology. We did COBs the most prominent foundations in the Fall supporting emotional well-being and health, as well as having a focus on college communities and their program and got 2 more new members from itpolicy development. We also How did Kappa Karamel Apples at a volleyball game, since the homecoming football game was rained out.

==Highlights From our university, adhering to the CDC’s guidelines, all meetings for us were moved to an online format, via Zoom. Because of 2014==this, Primary Recruitment and Spring COBs were all hosted online. It wasn’t too difficult to continue via Zoom. Our Big/Little reveal was done by using TikTok, where our Member Recruitment Officer Jordan Adamson showed them over Zoom. After the Spring COB initiation in June, some Kappas were able to go out to brunch together to celebrate! Even as the pandemic has made in-person interactions more challenging, we continue to find ways to still have time together in a safe way. We also feel that due to the pandemic and its effects, recruitment was down a little as everyone was trying to adapt and cope during such an abnormal time. However, we are feeling very hopeful for this upcoming year with recruitment! As Fall 2021 began, we were allowed to start meeting in person after receiving negative COVID-19 test results from Lawrence. While the start of the year was a little slow from changing from Zoom to in-person, we are so happy to finally see each other face-to-face. We host all of our meetings in our Kappa Room on campus, while everyone is wearing masks. While guidelines are slowly loosening up, we still remain wearing masks and respecting any guidelines that the CDC or Lawrence may give us.
