2012
The year 2012 was a very successful year for the Zeta Kappa chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma. In the spring we participated in the annual Dance Marathon fundraiser. Four of our members were dancers, six were moralers, seven were bikers, and two were on the core committee for the event, which helped raise money for the Children’s Miracle Network.
In February, we held our annual parent’s weekend, which allowed all of our members’ loved ones to come and see what our chapter is all about. During that weekend we also announced awards our chapter and members have received through out the academic year. During 2012, our chapter sponsored four philanthropies. In the spring we held a special philanthropy for one of our sisters who was seriously injured in a car accident over winter break. Through Kappa Kappa Grilled Cheese, where we stood in downtown Bowling Green and sold grilled cheese, tomato soup, and Kool-Aid, we raised 1,100 dollars for our sister and her family to help ease the pain of the medical bills that they were receiving.
We also held another Kappa Kappa Grilled Cheese in the spring and raised 1200 dollars for Kappa Kidney Kamp. In the fall, we held a fundraiser called Kappuccino’s, where we stood on campus and sold coffee, hot chocolate, and cookies, in which we raised 375 dollars and we held another Kappa Kappa Grilled Cheese where we raised 1000 dollars, both for Kappa Kidney Kamp.
In the fall, during Panhellenic formal recruitment, we were able to recruit 25 young women who have proven to be a great addition to our chapter. Our chapter was very proud to have 13 members on dean’s list and an overall GPA of 3.18 in the spring. In the fall our chapter had 13 members on dean’s list and an overall GPA of 3.15. In total, our chapter completed 2100 service hours. The Zeta Kappa Chapter has achieved a great amount of success in the year 2012, and will strive to continue the excellence in all the years to come.
Bowling Green State University is a flat campus with a lot of character. The campus itself is relatively small, with a student body close to twenty thousand students. The university has recently announced that it will begin construction on a new greek housing community in the summer of 2014. This will be a huge, but welcomed, change for our chapter and other chapters on campus. Right now, the university is planning on making all of the greek houses the same, as they are not at this time. We believe that this will help with making recruitment fairer and build the greek community as a whole.
The Zeta Kappa Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma is a very strong chapter with emphasis on sisterhood. We try to build sisterhood with other chapters on campus. For example, we have invited chapters over to watch movies, play games, and eat dinner with us. Our chapter house is another aspect that we take pride in. The house looks like a rectangular dormitory; however it is so much more than that. It is a place for our sisters to come and feel like they are at home. We have a family room, a formal room, a computer lab, a study, and a kitchen. All of these rooms contribute to the overall feeling of a real home away from home. Our house, values, and members all contribute to who we are as a chapter and how strong the chapter has become.
