==Highlights of 2018==
This past year was a successful one at the Beta Zeta Chapter. Starting in January we were on warning of probation from previous incidents, but we shortly got off in February, due to the good behavior and the hard work of the chapter as a whole. We then had an academic banquet, and an advisor from the Tippie school of business came to talk, which was very special and informational. Our chapter was also picked (out of many) for “Behind Happy Faces,” a presentation about mental health. We then had an awesome sisterhood for valentines day called “Galentines” and we rented out the movie theater and all went, which was super fun! To end the busy month we had a sisterhood with Kappa Alpha Theta and did a workout sisterhood.
In March Kappa was announced on Tier 0 which is good at the University of Iowa, since Iowa goes off a tier system unlike other schools. We also had a very unique sisterhood, which was our sushi sisterhood and a sushi chef came in and helped us make our very own sushi! To end the month we all volunteered, by passing out books at a 1 book 2 book event that went towards our philanthropy. As the spring semester was coming closer to an end, we celebrated mom’s weekend in April by hosting a ‘Mom and Paint’ and a brunch on that Sunday. Then we had our successful philanthropy event at a park in Iowa City and sold ice cream cones, our title was “Kappa Kones.” We ended up raising more than $800 for One Book Two Book. To end the semester we had one final sisterhood, having McDonalds and a scavenger hunt around Iowa City.
As we all came back in August, the University of Iowa had some new rules in place. They have what they call the “Pilot Program,” which all the chapter have to be in compliance with to have events, and if they aren’t in compliance they are put on probation. The University also got rid of the tier system. We ended up recruiting an awesome pledge class of 55 girls, then we decided to start off the year with a hot yoga sisterhood September 25th and 26th. The next week we had a very informational educational about sex trafficking, which was two hours and very helpful. As we entered October, dad’s weekend was hosted on the 6th and 7th, at the house with a bags tournament and lunch, then finished with a self defense class the following day. As founder’s day approached we had an annual Founder’s Day Feud at the house, which was over facts of Kappa. Next, we had a Halloween themed non-alc with Alpha Phi at the Kappa house, and the next week a Halloween themed Sisterhood. There was also another successful academic banquet, which was an incentive to reach our chapter’s gpa goal, which all of the girls really wanted to achieve. Then, since we were compliant with Iowa’s Pilot Program, we hosted a formal at the Graduate (masquerade themed), and got a very good report back, therefore we are in good standing with PHC. We started November with Initiation; we initiated 55 girls and it went very well. We also had ‘Breakfast Klub’ at the Old Brick Building for our philanthropy event. This raised almost $2000 for One Book Two Book. As December rolled around we had one final holiday Kozy sisterhood at the house. It was a very busy and great year for the chapter.
There have been many changes on the campus for Greek life at the University of Iowa. There is a new pilot program in place and all the events have to be in Iowa City. There have been many fraternities kicked off or on probation. However, the sororities have remained positive and Kappa has done their best to deal with the recent changes and adjust to all the new rules. We still remain to have one of the higher pledge classes compared to lower number of girls going through recruitment. We have remained positive and hopeful for the future.
