The University of California at Irvine was established in 1960, and at the time of Zeta Eta’s colonization had nearly 7,700 undergraduate students with 96 percent being state residents. The Panhellenic claimed that fall Recruitment was the most successful yet and that the new group was warmly welcomed on campus.
The Kappa recruitment team consisted of Ann Loken Rhodes, Washington, local colonization chairman; Caren Nitschke, DePauw, Graduate Counselor; Jenny Young, Indiana, Field Secretary; Leanne Burk, USC, Field Secretary; Debbie Wamser Russell, UCLA, Kappa Province Director of Chapters; Vera Lewis Marine, Colorado College, Kappa Province Director of Alumnae; Timi Atkinson, Colorado, Graduate Counselor at Fresno; and Marian Klingbeil Williams, Missouri, Director of Chapters. All five chapters in southern California assisted in Recruitment.
The colonization events were successful, as well as the interviews. During formal pledging, each new member received a white carnation tied with blue-and-blue ribbons and a little gold key. The alumnae from Southern Orange County gave each girl a Kappa mug and were pleased to be present during this inspiring occasion.
