==Highlights of 2012==
'''Biennial Convention in Jacksonville, FL'''
Our chapter is a member of a campus Panhellenic which includes 3 National Panhellenic Conference Groups. Our university does not formally acknowledge the Greek organizations on campus. Since September 2012, the university prohibited freshman from participating in the recruitment process and has imposed numerous restrictions on the sororities and fraternities to prevent them from affiliating with or offering bids to freshman.
Princeton University is a 4 year liberal arts college with approximately 5,000 undergraduate students. Princeton is a coeducational, independent and nondenominational institution.The Kappa Kappa Gamma Zeta Phi Chapter was founded in 1992. We do not have a chapter house and all of our members reside on campus in university housing. We are the 119th chapter founded and we are in Region 1 and part of the Beta East province. Our province Director of Chapters is Alicia Hayden. ==Highlights of 2013== Throughout 2013, members of Zeta Phi were involved in a wide range of chapter and campus-wide activities. In April, Zeta Phi hosted Kappa Kappa Gamma’s Beta Province Convention under the leadership of Krystle Manuel-Countee ’13. At the Province Convention, Zeta Phi won the Risk Management Award (awarded to Risk Management Chair Lakshmi Davey ’15) and the Helen Kinslow Chapter Loyalty Award. The following is just a brief list of some of the activities in which Zeta Phi members participated throughout 2013: Megan Partridge ’14 co-founded the startup company Stitch Your Story, Joan Cannon ’15 started a newsletter for the Princeton University Geosciences Society to help get freshmen and sophomores interested in joining the department, Clarissa Lotson ’16 attended a Princeton-sponsored Global Seminar in Rio during the summer, Emilie Burke ’15 was elected President of the Princeton University Women’s Rugby FC, Rebecca Zhang started a new club – The Princeton Film Society, Stephanie Rigizadeh ’15 interned at CBS News Washington working for CBS This Morning, and Katherine Pogrebniak ’14 won the Princeton Class of 1939 Scholar Award as well as the Churchill Scholarship. One of Zeta Phi’s goals for 2013 was to increase the chapter’s philanthropic involvement. Under the leadership of Philanthropy Chair Yael Wollstein ’15, “Philanth Week” was created – a week during which the chapter participated in different philanthropic activities each day (ranging from making sandwiches for a homeless shelter to writing letters to soldiers). Increased philanthropic involvement was part of a larger effort to increase Zeta Phi’s interpersonal development. Other chapter goals included improved attendance at chapter meetings and greater unification between pledge classes. In addition to working on these goals, Zeta Phi excelled academically throughout 2013 and had a very successful Recruitment season in the fall. At the end of 2013 (in December), Zeta Phi elected new Chapter Council members, and Sooyeon Kim ’15 was elected President. This year’s Recruitment was the second Recruitment after Princeton University’s ban on freshman participation in Greek life. Over 200 girls participated in Recruitment this year, and Zeta Phi successfully welcomed 48 new members to the chapter. Increased philanthropic involvement, successful leadership, and a variety of meaningful sisterly social activities are just several indicators of growth that Zeta Phi has seen throughout 2013. Overall, the future of Zeta Phi looks very promising, and the Chapter Council is very optimistic about the direction in which Zeta Phi is heading.
