Zeta Chi holds their weekly chapter meetings in a Marist College classroom in Donnelly Hall; this academic building is central on campus and includes several lecture halls as well as a newly renovated student lounge and cafe. Zeta Chi does not have housing for its members.
==Highlights of 2017==
During Spring Recruitment! We welcomed 30 new members to our chapter! This was one of our biggest new member class, the Alpha Upsilon’s. To unite our growing chapter, we had many sisterhood events, including Galentine's Day, an ice cream social, apple picking, the Walkway Over the Hudson hike, paint our sisters, cookie baking, as well as supporting our sisters in the Marist College Dance Ensemble spring and fall showcase. We also participated in Philanthropy events, such as the Polar Plunge, Relay for Life, Up Till Dawn to support St. Jude’s, and bi-weekly reading buddies at the Poughkeepsie Children’s home. Our annual RIF events included a taco dinner and a RIF carnival. The chapter also donated the loose change jar money to the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation. We ended the semester with our annual Sapphire Ball!
The Marist campus is growing along with our chapter! A new science building was built along with a new art building. Marist is also in the process of creating a new fashion building.
Zeta Chi has raised money for the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation, Reading is Fundamental, the Polar Plunge and St. Jude’s. We also donated hours to the The Children's Home of Poughkeepsie and Real Skills of Poughkeepsie. As a chapter we have also volunteered our time at different events on campus, such as Relay for Life.
We chose these organizations to support because we want to help our local community. We love to help the surrounding city of Poughkeepsie, our campus community, and organizations that are fundamental to Kappa Kappa Gamma. We also decided to participate in St. Jude’s Up Til Dawn to support our fellow sister who belong to this club.
