→Highlights of 2020s:
Over the course of 2016 the ladies have participated in around 400 plus hours of community service not only on campus but reaching out to the community as well. The chapter went to Wilson Elementary for our Reading is Key events, allowing the students to keep the books to add to their personal libraries in hopes to keep them engaged in reading as they go through school.
==Highlights of 2017==
2017 was a busy and efficient year for the Zeta Pi chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma. Some highlights of winter term were successfully hosting our annual Kappa Casino event to raise money for Reading is Fundamental. During this time three of our sisters used the short term to study abroad. Quin McLaughlin and Paula Schneider studied abroad in London, England and Deena Merrill studied abroad in Greece.
During spring term two wonderful new members were recruited and initiated into Zeta Pi chapter through spring recruitment; Katie Growe and Danielle Pulley. Nine seniors graduated in May becoming alumna of Kappa Kappa Gamma and the College of Idaho; Morgan Clifford, Monica Mulder, Hailey Chambers, Deena Merrill, Kira Hughs, Cassie Arana, Coree Gibson, Reanna Vanacore, and Angel Whittington. They accomplished much during their time at the College of Idaho, and their futures are bright. Our sister Hailey Chambers graduated with a 4.0 GPA; she was selected as a commencement speaker, received the Nancy C. Hazelwood Awards, and began her first term at Duke Medical School in the fall of 2017.
Even though school is not in session in the summer, several sisters were productive with their free time. Anabel Keller and Marissa Pekarek participated in a faculty-lead study abroad trip to Mexico. Quin McLaughlin and Isabela Lete took part in a biomedical research internship through Idaho INBRE. Megan Phelps went up to Stanley Idaho and partook in an internship through the Salmon River Emergency Clinic.
This fall was a very exciting time for our chapter! We recruited four new members into Zeta Pi chapter, two of which were Kappa legacies (Taylor Gordon, Bailey Munson, Riley Nielsen, Kirsten Egurrola). Our sister Anabel Keller also studied aboard in Prague, Czech Republic throughout the entire fall semester.
On November 14th, 2017, our chapter-celebrated founder’s day for the Zeta Pi chapter of KKG, this date marked 30 years for our small chapter! We also had a sister attended a leadership conference in Ohio. Two of our sisters participated in Sigma Chi’s annual Miss College of Idaho fundraiser. Katie Growe represented the cheer team, and Paula Schneider represented KKG. Both gave amazing performances demonstrating their many talents. This semester concluded with our chapter achieving the highest GPA out of the entire Greek system at the College of Idaho. We worked very hard and achieved very much in 2017.
