'''Campus:''' The University of Central Florida is growing each year. Statistics show that we are the second largest university in the nation. We have a 55% percent female population. We are not only growing in size, but we are growing in athletics as well. This past year the University of Central Florida joined the BIG EAST. The school shows much diversity, which is reflected in our very own Eta Eta Chapter.
In the Spring of 2011, Eta Eta received a 3.203 GPA and, in the Fall we placed 11th with a GPA of 2.985. III. Chapter Challenges: (Describe them and how the chapter met and overcame them.) In 2011, Eta Eta set a goal to hold more sisterhood activities during the year to get more sisters involved with bonding events. We also aim to attend more intramural sports games to help support those players. Lastly, we aimed for a goal of a GPA of at least 3.15, and to bring back academic incentives.
==2012==
UCF's Greek Community is rapidly expanding. In Fall of 2011 we welcomed Delta Zeta on campus and this fall we received news of Gamma Phi Beta and Pi Kappa Phi's colonization. With a community of more than 3000 undergraduate students it is exciting to welcome these new chapters and see what they can bring to the University of Central Florida. Eta Eta chapter is working hard to keep our GPA above the All Sorority Average.

In 2013, Eta Eta paired up with the Cystic Fibrosis foundation of Florida to host a walk on UCF’s campus. Eta Eta also hosted the first annual Kappa Karnival. At Kappa Karnival all of the participating sororities and fraternities created different carnival booths, and children from the community participated at each booth. Eta Eta also participated in Trick on Treat on Greek Street, Kappa Delta’s Shakedown, Zeta Beta Tau’s Get on The Ball and Zeta Tau Alpha’s Lip-sync competition, as well as UCF’s own Knighthon. Eta Eta is working to increase UCF Greek involvement in the CF walk.
Eta Eta had fun on many socials including a “Hard Hats and Snapbacks” theme with Sigma Pi, a “Duck Calls and Overall’s” themed homecoming social with our homecoming partners Delta Sigma Phi, and a “Don’t wanna grow up” social with Zeta Beta Tau. Eta Eta also enjoyed semi-formal at the Brevard County Zoo. Eta Eta paired with Pi Kappa Phi and Delta Sigma Phi for homecoming, winning 2nd place overall, most cans collected, and 3rd place in Skit Night.
Eta Eta participated in spring recruitment; bid day was held at Wonder Works, where each sister wore her jersey. We initiated 16 sisters. In the fall Eta Eta moved into a brand new house on campus. We participated in formal recruitment out of our own house for the first time and also held our annual Alumnae tea. Our bid day was held at Old Town with a “New Bid’s on the Block/80’s theme.”
Our new members enjoyed many events at our house including a movie night, and a craft night. Very soon after Eta Eta initiated 51 new members. In the spring we went to the Orlando Science Center for a sisterhood sleepover, and had dinner at Planet Hollywood in Downtown Disney. Eta Eta got to participate in many reading days in elementary schools throughout the Orlando area. We also got to see Cirque du Soleil at Downtown Disney. Our mothers got to join us making chocolate at Ferris and Fosters. Sisters participated in many IM sports including soccer, flag football and volleyball. We also held weekly sisterhood studies at the house and around campus to try and boost our chapter GPA.
UCF’s Greek community continues to expand. The spring brought the colonization of Pi Kappa Phi, and the fall brought Gamma Phi Beta. Eta Eta officially moved into our new house on campus in August of 2013. Chi Omega also moved into their house. Eta Eta continues to work to bring our GPA above the All Sorority Average.
