The Zeta Zeta chapter of Westminster College returned to campus on January 18th for the spring semester. This semester appeared different than our previous years due to Covid when it came down to events. We did not have our annual winter formal. Throughout this semester we tried to incorporate many sisterhood bonding events and more philanthropy events because of this.
On February 7th our chapter got together after chapter and made blankets for our local philanthropy, The Special Learning Center located in Jefferson City.
On February 18th, our chapter participated in a philanthropy event for Alpha Gama Delta(Child hunger and Muscular Dystrophy Association).
On March 21st our chapter got together and made baskets to donate to The Special Learning Center. We put easter themed gifts together in a basket for the kids.
On March 31st, the chapter hosted a Kappasta philanthropy event. This is when our sorority and fraternity chapters donated different pasta sauces and students came and bought it for lunch. All of the money we raised went to The Special Learning Center in Jefferson City and Reading is Fundamental.
Our chapter unfortunately was not able to go to our local philanthropy this semester, so our philanthropy chairman found a local group called Spring Team who was ecstatic for volunteers. Our chapter really enjoyed this new philanthropy event, so we would try to as often as possible. On February 27th, March 20th and April 10th our whole chapter went out and helped cleaned the stream bordering our campus. Our chapter chopped down honeysuckle trees and picked up trash around campus. (Honeysuckle trees kill all plant life surrounding them and take over). Throughout the rest of the semester our chapter
On April 13th we participated in Cupcakes for Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) for Kappa Alpha Theta. April 18th-25th our chapter set up a book drive through Amazon. We collected books and then donated them to a local school in Fulton. On April 21st our chapter participated in Kappa Alpha Orders philanthropy event.
On April 20th our chapter was honored the Drosten Cup award. This award combines outstanding service and scholarship. Our chapter holds the highest-grade percentage on campus competing against all other organizations and clubs.
Our chapter returned to Westminster College for the fall semester on August 12th. We immediately started work week and prepping for a great recruitment. For sisterhood bonding during recruitment our chapter all participated in a planner party where we had snacks and wrote down assignments in our planner for the upcoming semester. We had 14 girls move onto our floor to live this whole academic year. During recruitment we started with floor tours on August 16th and then recruitment lasted until August 29th where we welcomed 8 new lovely members at our Jungle themed Bid Day celebration. Our members were pledged in the following day and then began the New Member Programming.
On September 25th we held our annual Kappa Klassic golf tournament where we grossed $8,575 for the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation.
October was busy as always for our chapter starting it off with initiation week. On October 3rd we had our Big/Little reveal then exactly one week later we had a wonderful initiation on October 10th. We had all the parents of our new members join us in a lunch celebration this afternoon. Following this we celebrated Founder’s Day as a chapter by bonding and eating ice-cream floats in our lounge. We later in the month had our first formal event after a year of not having one! We enjoyed our annual fall Kappa Krush formal which was themed Dynamic Duo. To end this month, right before Halloween, our chapter participated in Trunk or Treat for The Special Learning Center on October 28th.
For an end of year event, we held our annual transition day where we discussed how to better our chapter and how to help our future CC members and all of our members. Then the following week we held Thanksgiving as a chapter for a sisterhood bonding event. Throughout this semester our chapter strived for involvement with clubs and events such as intramurals. We also held ourselves accountable for our academics. Having one member receive a scholarship from the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation is a huge accomplishment for us as well.
