== Philanthropy and Service 2012==In fall 2012, Zeta Alpha chapter received the most new members of any of the Greek organizations on Babson campus, with a total of 30 girls. Our chapter also had several philanthropic successes. One of our greatest acheivements was the Annual Kappa Fashion Show. This philanthropy event raised over $1,000 for Dress for Success, which raises money for women who cannot afford business clothes. Zeta Alpha also participated in a Founders' Day celebration at Harvard University on October 13th, which allowed us to celebrate Kappa history, learn more about its tradition, connect with nearby chapters, and meet alumni. Our chapter also received an award from Babson College in Spring 2012 for our weekly "Kappa Kleanups," where sisters clean up our campus on Sunday mornings. Moreover, our chapter actively participates in Panhellenic events on campus, such as "Jail & Bail," which raised money for Rosie's Place, a local homeless shelter for women. Finally, we held our semi-annual Professors' Tea, where sisters could interact with professors outside of the classroom. These philanthropy events, campus involvements, and acheivement awards have made for a successful year for Zeta Alpha. Throughout the year, there were few major changes on campus. The programs and classes were generally consistent with previous years, and for the 15th year, Babson College was ranked number 1 in Entrepreneurship. One of the biggest changes that affected the Chapter was a decision made by Panhellenic Council. In the Fall, it was established that every sorority on campus must have a total of 69 members. This meant that the Fall Recruitment process was more intensive, and required that a larger number of bids than usual be given out to potential new members. The effect on our Chapter was that Kappa received 30 total new members.
