→Highlights of 2020s:
==Highlights of 2020s2018s: 2018 has been an exceptional year for Gamma Eta and we are even more grateful for all of the wonderful women that 2018 has blessed us with.==In August we welcomed 64 new, intelligent, and beautiful women, who were passionate about Gamma Eta and all that she beholds. In October we were presented with the opportunity of initiating our new members and officially welcome them as sisters. 16 members from member class 2018 will be moving into the Gamma Eta Chapter house come January 2019. We are extremely grateful that both younger and older members get to experience living together and embrace the true friendship that Kappa provides to each of its members. Throughout the year we have been working diligently as a chapter to improve our grades. We are so proud to announce that in Spring 2018 Gamma Eta had the second highest GPA among the 13 other sororities on campus. Fall 2018 we had the third highest GPA. We are extremely proud of our hard work and drive for success. WSU holds annual awards called the "Arete Awards" where Greek chapters are awarded for their excellence in specific categories. This year, Kappa received Honorable Mention for "Standards Award" and "Member Development Award." We pride ourselves on taking care of one another and our Risk Management team goes to show for that. We take special consideration into making our new members feel at home as soon as possible. The latest award was the winner of the "Fall 2018 Yard of the Semester" presented by the College Hill Association. We host many philanthropic events throughout the year. Last spring, we hosted our annual 3 on 3 basketball tournament called March Madness. We also hosted Kappa Con Queso, which is a nacho bar set up behind the chapter house. It was a huge success. This fall we hosted Kappa Tauloween, a haunted house that we decorate and run with the men of Tau Kappa Epsilon. We recently hosted Kappa Cocoa after Thanksgiving break. Our chapter is extremely involved and supportive of the philanthropic events hosted by other Greek chapters at WSU. We publish a biweekly newsletter called "The Key." The newsletter is a fun way to inform parents, alumni, members, and many others about all of the upcoming, past, and current activities that Gamma Eta is involved in. It highlights someone as the "Geek of the Week", the "Polished Kappa" of the week, and the "Clean Kappa" of the week. The member who has received the recognition of either of the three awards is rewarded with a gift card or treat. The newsletters usually have some kind of a theme. For instance, during Valentine's Day the newsletter featured a segment called "Kappa Crush" where members were able to submit little notes of appreciation for another member within the chapter. We are proud to have accepted many awards that highlight our hard work and encourage us to continue to improve our chapter. We cannot wait for 2019 and all of the adventures it will bring.
