→Highlights of 2020s:
'''Housing:''' There has been no recent changes on campus in the previous year. Something very special about the chapter's overall nature would be the supportive aspect each girl feels when coming into the sorority. This is through many big/little events, senior sophomore dinner, and each member excited to meet with one another.
The year started out with recruitment. 54 new members joined Kappa Kappa Gamma, Zeta Psi. The whole chapter enjoyed pizza and went to a local roller skating rink to celebrate the new members. The next 3 weeks each sophomore was paired with different freshman key sisters and then paired with their bigs and then went to dinner with their family afterward. The following weekend was initiation where 54 members were initiated into Kappa Kappa Gamma with inspiration weekend. Alumni parents and siblings came to initiation their family members into Kappa and it was a wonderful event. Inspiration weekend included ice cream and batchelor in chapter, cupcakes from their big, a letter welcoming them into Kappa and what exciting things to come and finally room trash where they are given their gifts and their rooms decorated in all Kappa things.
Spring 2019 year had 12 Kappas who finished the semester with 4.0 GPAs, and our overall GPA was a 3.539 with an overall GPA of 3.528.
Sesquicentennial Celebration: To begin celebrating Kappa's 150th anniversary, we had 4 big cookie cakes for Founders Day and mentioning it to the chapter of the exciting news. Fun ritual "nuggets" about the founding of each ritual were read to learn about the past 150 years.
'''Philanthropy:'''The chapter philanthropy supports Brenner Children's Hospital. We wanted to give to children in a hospital that is close enough that we can see the differences that our money makes. We have reached $50,000 in donations to the Brenner Children's Hospital. "Kappa Kisses" was our first event of the year where Wake Forest students gave money to the chapter to wrap candies for other students. This was a week long event and the chapter raised $1,026 for the KKG Foundation and RIF. "Kappa Kaddies" was an additional philanthropy where each member's family would come into town for the weekend to play 18 hole captain's choice round of golf. This event raised 14,706 dollars for Brenner Children's Hospital.
The chapter also participated in Derby Days hosted by Sigma Chi which raised 1,948 dollars for Brunner Children's Hospital. The school had a 12 hour dance marathon in which we raised 20,758.10 dollars for Brian Piccolo Cancer Research Fund. We participated in many philanthropic events around campus such as "Hit the Bricks" to help the Brian Piccolo Foundation raising 1,044 dollars, and "Project Pumpkin" where local elementary kids come to celebrate Halloween. The chapter had its annual "Kappa Kickball"l for Wake Forest students and we raised 360 dollars for RIF. A challenge in the past was the chapter participating in philanthropy events but our philanthropy chairman has exceeded the past and has had amazing participation raising a total of $39,842.10 for various philanthropies.
