==Highlights of 2011==
In January, Zeta Pi hosted its Kappa Casino event to raise money for Reading is Fundamental, the Kappa Kappa Gamma national philanthropy. Despite early local reservations and advertising on campus, the turn-out to Kappa Casino was lower than anticipated due to a last-minute schedule change on behalf of another campus event.

'''Chapter Challenges:'''
Zeta Pi Chapter faced several challenges in the past year, and not only met these challenges head-on, but overcame these obstacles to its success. Nominating Committee didn't function appropriately last year, largely due to dissention within the committee itself. Directly resulting from this lack of focus, the Nominating Committee did not conduct thorough evaluations regarding the qualifications and suitability of the individuals slated for particular offices, directly resulting in a lack of risk management/registrar position due to dismissal for a time, followed by a vote of no-confidence in replacing the position. The chapter overcame this issue temporarily by electing seniors, one per position, into the offices of Risk Management Chairman and Registrar. With the beginning of the new school year in September, a new senior was elected to fulfill the duties of both offices, which were built back up to their proper standing for the remainder of the year. One officer resigned from the fraternity over the prior summer vacation, while two officers were removed from office in September due to inability to fulfill grade requirements. The resulting vacancies of the positions of Panhellenic Voting Delegate (distinct from the executive member serving as Panhellenic President), Philanthropy Chairman, and Vice President-Organization, were immediately filled according to standard election procedures, and have functioned well thus far. Some officers ended up holding several positions on Chapter Council, directly resulting in the establishment of a super-committee system to alleviate the stress of overburdened officers.
