This has been a really great year for Zeta Psi, and we are really proud of all of our accomplishments. We look forward to maintaining our good standing with nationals and continuing to grow as a chapter in coming years.

Chapter Summary
We were thrilled to have been able to honor the accomplishments of the Class of 2021
somewhat-normally. Luckily, when we returned in the fall we were granted permission to
operate at full capacity, which includes in person date functions, events, and chapters. A
highlight would be our first date function of the semester, as morale and excitement were both
incredibly high since so many members were unable to attend events in the past due to covid
restrictions. We held several fundraisers with local restaurants to raise money for Brenner
Children’s Hospital and the Jed Foundation, and several of our members were on the executive
council for the Panhellenic Breast Cancer Talent Show. Our goals centered around re-engaging
members across grades following the pandemic, as well as fostering deeper in-person
connections and relationships within our chapter and with our chapter’s values after a year of
virtual chapters and events.

Chapter Philanthropy
Our local organization our chapter supports is the Brenner’s Children’s Hospital.It is a
tradition in our chapter to support this local hospital; we are passionate about financially
contributing to the important work they do for children suffering from various illnesses.
We held several events, including a candy drive called Kappa Candy Canes and a partnership
with a local restaurant; the restaurant donated a percentage of their proceeds to our
philanthropy.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
While this semester may look different from others, our efforts to keep Kappa Kappa Gamma a healthy and responsible organization has not stopped our chapter from being a place of sisterhood and community involvement! We held a socially-distanced sisterhood philanthropy event in mid-October with both Wake Forest University and North Carolina COVID-19 rules. We also plan to hold distanced sisterhood events, such as small outdoor gatherings amongst our sisters, so that we can continue to get to know each other during this time. We look forward to continuing to make the Zeta Psi chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma a place of leadership, philanthropy, and sisterhood, while continuing our efforts to remain safe, healthy, and happy.
Zeta Psi chapter supports Reading is Fundamental, Brenner Children's Hospital, and the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation. Although last semester was cut short, we were able to raise over $1,000 for Reading is Fundamental and Brenner Children's Hospital through our annual event Kappa Kisses. At the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, the Zeta Psi chapter banded together to serve the Winston-Salem community from afar by raising over $2,000 for the Second Harvest Food bank of Northwest North Carolina. Despite the uncertain nature of our fall semester, Kappa Kappa Gamma is as committed as ever to our philanthropic duties. We hosted a Socially Distanced Sisterhood Brunch at a local favorite, Village Juice Co., And a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Kappa Kappa Gamma foundation. Later in the month, KKG hosted a Virtual 5K, "Kappa Kicks" to raise money for Reading is Fundamental and Brenner Children's Hospital. Although these are challenging times, I am so proud to see our members coming together to help others.

The Diversity & Inclusion committee of Zeta Psi was founded to increase the chapter's overall knowledge of and sensitivity to issues surrounding our differences and how they shape our individual experiences. As college-educated women, we must examine our privilege on an institutional, organizational. and individual level so as to better understand how to include and appreciate each member's diverse background. Founded this academic year, the committee aims to guide members through the education and acknowledgement of historic and systemic racism within the Greek-life system and to examine our current positions within this history. We will encourage members to reflect upon their own intersectional identities to recognize how we may use our privilege to better our society. The goal of this committee is to encourage education and to promote the pursuit of justice and equity within the chapter and within the broader context of our society. Along with the Diversity and Inclusion workshop facilitated by our National Chapter, we will continuously reinforce the importance of our conversations surrounding these themes through more workshops and presentations during chapter. The implementation and continuation of this committee within Zeta Psi chapter reveals our desire to establish and uphold the highest standards of social inclusion regarding all aspects of our unique identities. We commit ourselves to providing a safe space for all members to feel as though they can express themselves fully and unapologetically without facing indifference, discrimination, or intolerance.
