Highlights of 2014
Our Chapter holds its meetings in the Kappa Kappa Gamma lounge that resides in the basement of Weigle Hall which is a residence hall on campus. This lounge is owned by Westminster College. Zeta Zeta does not have a house on Westminster's Campus. We have a lounge where we meet for chapter and chapter council meetings, as well as sisterhood bonding events. This is also a place where members are free to come and hangout, do homework, or socialize any time. There is no designated place for Kappas to live but our sisters have a close bond and a lot of girls choose to live together even as a pledge in the on campus housing. This is the member's choice and it is nice to see that our members are close and choose to live together even though we do not have designated housing for Kappas.

Zeta Zeta started the year off strong this year with a great new Chapter Council. We began by attending our monthly trips to our local philanthropy at Missouri School for the Deaf. These trips are always so much fun seeing the smiles on the kid’s faces when we visit them. In February, we put on our annual Reading is Key event for Reading is Fundamental. This year our theme for this event was Kappily Ever After. We had so much fun making Disney themed crafts with the children of Fulton and reading to them. The kids had such a great time and were so excited they got to take home a free book. Throughout the semester we also supported the philanthropies of other Greek organizations on campus. We participated in Beta Theta Pi’s philanthropy week to support Chads Coalition and Phi Gamma Delta’s philanthropy week to support Special Olympics. For some more fun with our sisters we teamed up for volleyball and futsol intramurals.
 
In April we had our annual Sapphire Ball which was a wonderful time spent dancing with our sisters. At the end of the semester we won the Drosten Cup for our outstanding cumulative hours of community service. We have won this award for the sixth year in a row; it is an incredible reward for all of our hard work! Each year we continue to strive to receive this award.
 
We returned from summer break ready to take on recruitment. We had a successful recruitment and we welcomed eleven lovely new members to our chapter. These girls are the perfect addition to Zeta Zeta for they make our chapter complete. They joined right in to our softball and basketball intramurals. We continued our monthly trips to Missouri School for the Deaf.
 
In September we held our eighth annual “Teeing Off for a Better World” golf tournament where we raised almost $5,000 for Reading is Fundamental and the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation. We had our first formal of the school year in October which was a themed formal. This year was a Decades theme and it was fun to see all the girls dressed up in all different decades.
 
In the fall we participated in several philanthropy weeks for other organizations. We participated in Alpha Gamma Delta’s philanthropy week for American Diabetes Association, Beta Theta Pi’s for Chads Coalition, and Delta Tau Delta’s for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). We joined in on Kappa Alpha Theta’s Queso for Casa event to help them raise money for their national philanthropy CASA. Westminster Greek life is known to be a very PanHellenic community and Zeta Zeta is always eager to support other Greek organizations in any way we can.
 
After initiating our eleven new members this semester we held elections. Everything went smoothly and we elected a wonderful new Chapter council. These girls will carry our chapter to success throughout the next year. We closed the semester with our annual Winter Formal. It was a great way to celebrate a successful semester and bond with our sisters. We look forward to what the next year brings.
Westminster College got a new President, Dr. Benjamin Ola Akande. Dr. Akande has been doing great things to improve Westminster’s campus. He also is supportive of Greek life and has been pushing to help us all grow. Our chapter is going through a process to get a floor in a residence hall for girls to live in since there are no sorority houses on campus. This is a work in progress but we hope that it will help our chapter grow in numbers, improve Greek life on campus, and some day lead to a house in the future. Our chapter has a positive outlook on the future and we are not only making changes to our chapter for ourselves, but also for future members to come.
