→Highlights of 2014
Many of our sisters have reported the nature of our chapter as being a loving, dedicated, and diverse group of women. A large amount responded by elaborating on the sisterly love that we show one another. Our chapter was described the most by our sisters as being supportive, determined, classy, and sisterly. These four adjectives portrays the kind of relationships we build with not only our sisters, but our Panhellenic sisters, the entire Greek community, and the local and national communities our chapter touches as well.
==Highlights of 2015==
Our philanthropic involvement is something that is very important to our chapter. For our spring philanthropy, we held our first “Kappa Kountry Fest.” Love and Theft performed for us as well as the members of the Greek community who had participated in the event. This event raised over $3,700 supporting the Gretchen Everheart School and Reading is Fundamental. In the fall, we held our Kappa Kombat with participation from the Greek community. Aside from these large events, our sisters also take the time out of their day to volunteer to read at the Gretchen Everheart School to support our philanthropy. Our chapter also participated in external philanthropies like Theta Chi’s Cheers for Children, Pi Kappa Alpha’s Christmas for the Kids, and many more.
Our sisters are also held to high standards academically as well. We want to live up to the expectations of those who came before us. We have sisters who are involved in Phi Sigma Pi National Honors Society, Phi Eta Sigma Honors Society, and Phi Theta Kappa Honors Society. We also have sisters receiving many scholarship awards like the S-STEM scholar, Truman Scholarship Nomination, Social Science Scholar, National Society of Collegiate Scholars, National Retail Federations Rising Star Scholar Scholarship and many more. Our sisters are also recognized on the Dean’s List for their academic Excellence. The motivation and support our sisters have are endless though the Epsilon Zeta Chapter.
Within our chapter, we pride ourselves in the role we have in the Panhellenic community. Many of our sisters have served as Rho Gamma’s and the memories they have made from that experience will truly last a lifetime. We also have a sister serving on the new Panhellenic Executive Board and we couldn’t be any more proud of her.
At Florida State, there are many large campus wide events held on campus, and the Epsilon Zeta chapter has very high participation. Over half of our sisters are involved in Dance Marathon, either as dancers, Morale Captains, Production Assistant, and even on the Executive Councils. As a team, we had raised over $36,000 for the cause for Children’s Miracle Network! We are also involved in Light the Night, and Relay for Life, which our team had won first place!
The sisters of the Epsilon Zeta Chapter at Kappa Kappa Gamma are very involved on both the college campus and in the Tallahassee community. Each sister brings a different strength to our chapter, which makes us a diverse group of well-rounded sisters. To celebrate our chapter and our new 79 initiated sisters, we held our very first ever “Kappa’s It Day” which was a big success to all of our sisters. Our sisters were able to take the time out of their day to come to the house and de-stress and have fun activities set up, like Silent Disco, a bounce house, a photo booth, and much more. This event truly reminded our chapter of the amazing sisterhood and bond we all share for Kappa Kappa Gamma.
Our goal as a chapter for the 2015 calendar year was to continue our streak of academic excellence, and well as Panhellenic Involvement and community service, and our chapter did just that! Sisters continue to stay involved in Student Government Associations, FPRA (Florida Public Relations Association), aHackFSU, Transfer Leadership Institute Facilitator of Administration, Homecoming Executive Council, and the Seminole Torchbearers. Sisters are also Orientation Leaders helping the future students of our school feel welcomed on their first arrival. Sisters have also been interning for the Republican Party or Florida, working on the Rick Scott Governor campaign, and on the Florida Democratic Party Convention. Our 262 sisters pride themselves in being well rounded and are prepared to take on life post-college. Kappa’s it!
