→Highlights of 2013
In 2013, the panhellenic community unfortunately lost a chapter, Phi Mu, but Kappa Alpha Theta also established a new charter in February. Zeta Psi has done its best to welcome Kappa Alpha Theta while also supporting Phi Mu through their difficult time. These events have helped bring Zeta Psi closer together because it has reminded us how strong sisterhood is and how much we all support each other.
==Highlights of 2014==
Zeta Psi Chapter had another exciting and productive year in 2014. Our chapter organized and
participated in a variety of philanthropic events within the Wake Forest University and Winston-Salem
community. The year began with one of Wake Forest’s favorite philanthropy events—Wake ’n Shake—a
12-hour dance marathon that raises money for the Brian Piccolo Cancer Research Fund. All of the new
members along with many of the upperclassmen represented our chapter and attended the event. Two of
our members even helped organize and facilitate. In addition to Wake ’n Shake, our members actively
participated in many other philanthropy events. Our chapter had designated teams for Hit the Bricks,
Project Pumpkin and D.E.S.K. Each of these annual events are very special to us because they raise
awareness for good causes close to our hearts. We also had members organize and participate in the Breast
Cancer Fashion show, which is a school wide event that takes months of planning. Members also
frequently supported and attended a variety of other sorority and fraternity philanthropy events.
Further, Zeta Psi’s philanthropy events were especially successful this year. Beginning in February, we had
our annual Kappa Kisses event, which raised money for Reading is Fundamental. In April, we had our
annual golf tournament called Kappa Kaddies. This event raises money for our local philanthropy,
Brenner Children’s Hospital. The Hospital was very gracious for our donation of $7000. In October, we
hosted a brand new philanthropy event, Kappa Karaoke. The event was hosted at an on campus
restaurant and was a hit amongst the student body. This event raised money specifically for the Kappa
Kappa Gamma Fund. All of these events went over smoothly and we hope to improve and make an even
bigger impact in 2015.
Our goals for 2014 were to have better and more effective communication between Chapter Council
officers, Chapter Council and the rest of the chapter, our chapter and the school Panel and the Kappa
Kappa Gamma Headquarters. Next, we wanted to improve our understanding of the significance of
ritual and our membership in an international organization. Lastly, we wanted to improve Chapter
Council’s effectiveness by knowing when and who to ask for help. All of these goals helped drive new
developments that strengthened our chapter. We also learned how important it was to remember and
practice our valued traditions.
All in all, 2014 was a great year for our sorority chapter. As a chapter, we made a valuable impact on
campus as well as in the community and continued to promote academics and extra-curricular activities.
We also put an emphasis on communication, strengthening Chapter Council and tradition. We hope 2015
will be another successful year for Zeta Psi!
In 2014, our school completed a number of new additions and renovations. The university built a new
business school, new parking, a new dining hall and two new dormitories. To our pleasant surprise, our
chapter was able to get a new lounge space and reserved rooms for our members to live in the new dorm.
These spaces are very useful and give members a convenient place to meet, host meetings or study. These
new implementations have made our sisterhood even stronger and have given our member’s opportunities
to live with and be close to other members in the chapter.
We hold weekly chapter meetings on campus in an auditorium that Wake Forest University lets us use for
free. Our chapter does not have a house off campus. However, chapter members are able to live together in a
designated area of a dorm on campus during their Sophomore year. If there are openings, other grades
can choose to live there as well. In addition, our chapter has its own lounge on campus where we host
Chapter Council meetings and other members can hang out or study when not in use. This lounge is
located right next to our chapter’s designated dorm rooms on campus, which makes it very convenient to
use.
