Creighton University has approximately 4,000 undergraduate students. There are 7 established Panhellenic sororities, including Kappa. There are 5 Male Fraternities. Academically, Creighton is the top ranked Jesuit school in the Midwest. A small campus size allows for a close-knit community where all student organizations support each other. As for our chapter, starting from 44 charter members only 7 years ago, it is amazing to see that our chapter has grown to 105 active members. Involvement in and out of Kappa makes for a rich diversity in our chapter. Many leaders in and out of council lead us on as we are still changing, adapting, and setting traditions for future Kappas.

Our chapter prides itself on its strong sisterhood and involvement. Although our chapter is large at 104 active members, events such as Sisterhood Retreats ensure that all of our members have the opportunity to get to know one another. In terms of involvement, the members of our chapter are involved in many other activities both inside and outside of the Creighton community, and many of our members hold prominent leadership roles, whether on Chapter Council or in other organizations on campus. This powerful combination of strong sisterhood and leadership creates a diverse environment where our members are challenged to be the best that they can be while still having the love and support from our chapter.
As a chapter, we continuously challenge ourselves to attend non-mandatory events, such as chapter study breaks and other events happening in the Greek community and on Creighton's campus. By motivating and encouraging one another to support our own chapter as well as our surrounding community, we continue to increase our outside involvement as well as our presence in the Creighton community. In addition, one of our other challenges that our chapter faces is decreasing the negative stigma surrounding our Standards committee. Our Standards committee not only provides support to our members in times of need, but recognizes and rewards our members in times of triumph. By striving to reward our members for their accomplishments, we will continue the strong traditions of sisterhood that are already present in our chapter. Finally, our chapter strives to form leaders in each one of our members by assigning each member to a committee. We hope to increase the involvement of each and every one of our members by using our committees to our fullest potential and instilling the point that all of our members play an important role in the workings of our chapter.
Creighton University is home to over 4,000 undergraduate students and almost 8,000 students overall. Kappa Kappa Gamma is part of a rich Panhellenic community, which consists of 7 sororities and 5 fraternities. Academically, Creighton is the top ranked Jesuit school in the Midwest. A small campus size allows for a close-knit community where all student organizations support each other. Creighton continues to increase our Panhellenic spirit through various all-Greek events and workshops throughout the year as well as several opportunities to support other fraternities and sororities in the Greek community at on-campus events, such as philanthropy events.
It is amazing to note the growth in our chapter after almost 10 years since our founding. We continue to grow as a chapter and continue the tradition of excellence established before us. Eta Iota continues many of the traditions formed since our founding as well as paving the way for the future members of Eta Iota chapter.
Both chapter and council meetings are held in meeting rooms owned by Creighton University. Eta Iota chapter is currently unhoused.
