==Highlights of 2012==
This year for our chapter has been very successful. In Winter quarter, we did not have recruitment as we normally do due to the great recruitment we had the previous year, but we still did tabling to keep up our public appearance. Our main philanthropy for this quarter was our second annual "Kappa Kickoff", which donated books for Reading Is Fundamental. We had a great turnout with support from other greek organizations on campus along with students not involved in greek organizations. We also had our semi-formal this quarter with a "Great Gatsby" theme.
'''Chapter:''' Our chapter has been doing well with attendance to all events and has been continuing to bring in our newest classes with lots of support. Between sisterhoods and Greek week our chapter has had many opportunities for chapter unity, which has been very helpful with the amazing growth our chapter has had.
==Highlights of 2013==
This year was very successful for our chapter. We did not have a Winter recruitment again due to
the large recruitment the previous quarter. We had our semi-formal dance Winter quarter with a
“Flashback to the 50’s” theme. Spring quarter was very busy for our chapter starting off with
sending many sisters to Pi Province and won Most Improved Chapter and continuing with great
philanthropies, recruitment and events. We had our annual “Kappa Kickoff” donating books to the
local boys and girls club, which was a very well attended event among both Greek life and Campus
life.
We also joined with our Panhellenic sisters, Gamma Phi Beta, to put on a blood drive for the
whole campus. We had continuous open bidding this quarter and ended up gaining 4 new
members and then sisters. We had a small philanthropy that involved sending personalized letters
to soldiers in the Army. Another prominent event we had was Sapphire Ball in a different location
than we have had previously at the Hilton in Scotts Valley. It was a success and everyone enjoyed
themselves.
Eta Mu hosted another event which was our annual Etiquette dinner with a few selectgentlemen from each Fraternity on campus, who were impressed and responded positively to theevent. Eta Mu was ecstatic to be removed from a focus letter this year after working hard to adhereto the focus areas specified by Headquarters, such as having two Leadership Consultants visit EtaMu. Our chapter participated in Greek Week again this year, in events such as futsol, powderpuff,pizza eating, puzzles relay and lip sync. We came in first for powderpuff, third in lipsync and fourthoverall.

Six large perpetual plaques were awarded for Highest GPA, Most Improved GPA, Most Hours in the Library, Most Sisterly, Most Study Hours and Best Class Attendance.

We also had our annual “Spare the Hooters” philanthropy with Sigma Pi Fraternity generating a very generous amount to donate to support breast cancer research. One of our sisters also helped in creating a Cold Stone philanthropy for those affected by the unfortunate loss of firefighters in the Arizona fires. We had an “Opposites Attract” themed date event in the fall that the girls in the Chapter and their dates really enjoyed. Nominations and elections for officers for the 2014 calendar year went smoothly.
