==Highlights As the Eta Zeta Chapter of 2020s:==Kappa Kappa Gamma continues to grow, we continue to focus on high standards of the fraternity, specifically promoting sisterhood, while participating in community service, academics, and campus involvement. Our chapter has also continued to have the highest Greek life grade point average with a 3.44.
Highlights In January, four Eta Zeta members travelled to The Ohio State University to help their Kappa Kappa Gamma chapter with their upcoming recruitment. The Eta Zeta chapter kicked off the 2018 year with our informal recruitment where we hosted a nail and spa event on our floor with the members and PNMS. Through informal recruitment, we received one new member, which was quota. The following week, the chapter hosted our semi-formal dance with the theme of Sweethearts/Valentine's Day. Two new members (scholarship1 from informal and 1 from formal recruitment) were initiated at the University of Akron during their spring Initiation. In March, One member was chosen to be a Leadership Consultant for Kappa Kappa Gamma, while another graduating senior member accepted a position with the Peace Corps as a Health Educator in Cameroon. In April, the Eta Zeta chapter participated in several events during Greek Week and completed the week by competing in John Carroll University's Lip Sync competition; our lip sync was to the theme of Shrek, in which was came in 4th place. At the end of the month we had our annual Sapphire Ball formal dance at Landerhaven. Finally, our last event of the semester was Kappa Dog Day for our Philanthropy, in which we raised $210.21 for the Kappa Kappa Gamma foundation and Kappa Kidney Camp by hosting a hot dog cookout to sell hot dogs and snacks on our university's campus. Over the summer we had several members hold internships at places such as Key bank and Progressive as well as three members travel abroad to Italy and London. In June, two of our sisters represented the Eta Zeta chapter at Kappa Kappa Gamma's Denver Convention, where our chapter received an Honorable Mention for Risk Management. For the fall semester, the Eta Zeta chapter hosted their formal recruitment in September. Our theme was CoCo Chanel. On bid day, which the theme was "Make it like its your Bid-day," and we welcomed eight new members. Also in September, our Public Relations chairwoman had the opportunity to attend the Kappa Kappa Gamma Leadership Academy at the Heartland Conference Retreat Center which allowed her to take a deeper look into herself but also learn principles of leadership as well as meet Kappas from all over the country. At the beginning of November, we also hosted an informal recruitment where we served donuts and cider and played games on the floor. Through this recruitment, we were able to welcome four new members to the chapter. In October, our chapter had our annual Kappasta event, where we event alumni, campus members, and families to share a pasta meal with us, During this event, our chapter raised $1412.00 for Reading is Fundamental. At the end of October, we invited the children of the University Heights community to trick-or-treat on the floor with all our sisters; we shared our Kappa chants with the kids and their families. To conclude the recruitment season, group honorsthe chapter hosted big/awardslittle reveal on the floor that was PJ themed and then big/little pairs had a sleepover on the floor the night before Initiation. On November 17th, the Eta Zeta welcomed twelve new members into the chapter. Finally, special eventswe ended this semester with our fall date dance, which the theme was Decked in Denim. Through this semester our House chairwoman has been working diligently with her committee and our president to update and renew our floor. We have added new desks and chairs to the study lounge as well as re-organized and added new accessories to our lounge. Additionally, philanthropy our chapter is required to do five hours of service every semester but many women go above and beyond by participating in weekly service projectssuch as Labre, etcCarroll Ballers, and EMT volunteering.):
Other Miscellaneous activities that our chapter has completed include:
Our New Member Chairman completed a series of "Owl Pal" event where current members pair with our new members to do activities such as making dream catchers, vases for plants, and other crafts.
Our Risk Management chairman re-established a program called the "Kappa Klimb" by putting a list of our chapter names by the front door of our dorm floor for members to mark down their name when they climbed all 4 floors up to the Kappa floor instead of taking the elevators.
In the spring semester our Secretary encouraged chapter members to read the chapter minutes by hiding 3 words or phrases within the minutes. Whoever the first 3 people to correctly report the words and phrases received candy at the next chapter.
With our chapter graduating a substantial amount of seniors in the Spring of 2018, the Eta Zeta chapter is going through a re-rooting, rejuvenating period of time. We are working on becoming more supportive and harmonious sisters to each other. Our chapter advisor recently facilitated a "retreat" event for the chapter in order to converse and communicate about any issues we feel we are having in the sorority. This event allowed a safe space to talk as well as increased morale and cooperation for the chapter as we entered exams.

'''Philanthropy'''
 
Our chapter chose this organization because it is is a local charity that allows children with kidney ailments to experience a "normal" camp experience. The Eta Zeta chapter felt that this organization coincided with the values of Reading is Fundamental as well as was child focused. Additionally, the organization is unique and allows the chapter to be connected within the local community.
