'''Honors and TraditionsChapter:'''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 we take pride in.

We didn't donate as much as we had in 1960 past years and the first president of College Board; nine not as many members were selected as “best dressed” at actually attended Kappa Kidney Camp.
