'''Westminster College, Fulton, Missouri, Founded 1851'''
==Highlights of 2020==
The Zeta Zeta chapter returned to Westminster College for the Spring semester of the 2019-2020 school year on January 13th. Just a few weeks after this we had our first formal of the new year on February 1st. This formal was 1920’s themed to celebrate being in 2020. This was a great way to connect with each other after winter break.
On February 20th, the chapter hosted a Kappasta philanthropy event. Our chapter, as well as other sorority and fraternity chapters donated different pasta and students came and bought it for dinner. All the money raised from this went to The Special Learning Center in Jefferson City and Reading is Fundamental.
This leads us to March 23rd which was the day that campus closed due to the COVID-19 virus. Classes went to a virtual format for the rest of the semester which meant some changes for our chapter. Because we could not all be together, we began having virtual chapters in order to carry out our matter of business. Obviously COVID brought about changes that no one was expecting. Having to do chapter virtually and being away from each other for months was not easy, but our bond with each other only grew stronger as we got through the tough times together.
Coming back for the Fall semester of the 2020-2021 year we knew that things were going to look different. Three of our members also received scholarships from Kappa for the school year. We knew that we were not going to be able to have formals, philanthropy events like our annual golf tournament, no intramural and no LC visits. Although this was sad were able to look at the bright side and are still able to grow and be together in one way or another as a chapter. Classes started for the Fall semester on August 12th. That week we had work week and began preparing for our hybrid recruitment. Recruitment started on the 21st with our virtual open house on Zoom. The next day we did a virtual philanthropy day also on Zoom. The next morning, we were able to do an in-person preference day in small groups with masks and socially distanced. That evening we had 12 girls run down the hill and then we got 4 COB the next day.
They were pledged in the following Monday and they started new member programming. We then had initiation on October 4th. Because we have such a small chapter we were one of the only chapters that were granted permission to have initiation in person which was the closest thing to normal that had happened all semester which was really great.
For Founder’s Day on October 13th, we had a virtual zoom call where we played Kappa trivia games and had the chance to talk to past Zeta Zeta alumna and hear about their experiences as a member of Kappa and ask her questions. Later in the semester we were able to safely follow CDC guidelines and have a sisterhood bonding event where were we carved pumpkins together before Halloween.
During our last chapter of the semester, we had another safe sisterhood bonding event where we had a Thanksgiving dinner together. After we ate, we made tie blankets to give to the children at the Special Learning Center in Jefferson City.
This year we also had three of our members receive scholarships through the Kappa Kappa Gamma foundation for the 2020-2021 school year.
