'''Housing:Areas of Growth'''

Attendance: We noticed low chapter attendance at weekly chapter meetings in January. We increased this by trying to make chapter meetings more meaningful. We did this by giving out important chapter information at meetings instead of in emails sent out to the chapter. We also increased attendance by inviting powerful speakers to come to meetings, like California Senator Dianne Feinstein, who spoke about current legislation, her time as a woman at Stanford, and how to be a strong woman in politics. We also had Stanford faculty come speak about healthy body image and feminist studies.

Sisterhood events: Sisters are so busy that sometimes sisterhood events are forgotten. This year, we made sure to have more sisterhood events and successfully hosted letter making, headband making, baking, study sessions, arts and crafts for Mother's Day, and a cooking event.

'''Philanthropy:'''   '''Convention AwardsRitual:As ritual is what bonds together Kappa''' s across the country, our chapter wanted to appreciate ritual even more. We filled the year with ritual review, including activities to learn more songs, such as fill in the blanks with song lyrics. We also incorporated 15 minutes of ritual review into every meeting.

Philanthropy: We wanted to increase the number of philanthropy events that Kappa's were involved in. This year, at our "Snowchella" event, we raised more than $7,000 that was donated to an organization called "Support for International Change." We also started a weekly reading program to children in East Palo Alto.

Beta Eta Deuteron is made up of a group of women who are passionate, intelligent, graceful, kind, and giving. But, the quality that distinguishes our group of girls is a sense of confidence and drive. We make a difference on our campus. At Stanford's ISC Greek Awards, our chapter won the most awards of any chapter on campus, a testament to the fact that we have a strong presence at Stanford. Awards included: Outstanding New Member (Paige Fisher), Greek Woman of the Year (Tierney O’Rourke), Greek Involvement (Molly Hayes), Inter-Sorority Council Runner-up (Molly Hayes), Greek Collaboration Runner-up, and Chapter of the Year Runner-up. One of our sisters will be VP of Recruitment next year to continue our Inter-Sorority involvement. We are made up of powerful athletes, club presidents, leaders in the classroom, and would certainly be described as a group of very strong women.
