2018 was a testing time on the Malibu community. Faced with the devastating Woolsey Fire that affected Malibu, the Eta Beta chapter cancelled fall formal and donated the chapter'''Philanthropy:'''s funds for formal to help relief efforts instead. The fires forced our campus to close for a week before Thanksgiving and all students had to evacuate. The members of Kappa Kappa Gamma all came together to support one another through this time. In 2018, Alex Case was the Vice President of Recruitment for Panhellenic. Sydney Sauter was elected as Panhellenic President for 2019. In the spring and fall, four members had a 4.0 GPA. Pepperdine University has had an increasing freshman class the past few years. As the campus grows, the number of new members has increased as well. This year we had 25 new members. This year we focused on being more engaged and active on campus within other Greek Life philanthropies, campus events, etc. We had this same goal during recruitment as well.

This year was Kappa’s 150th anniversary! Since COVID-----------------19 prohibited our chapter from gathering in person, we had our education chairman Megan give a presentation in chapter about Kappa’s history and as a chapter on October 13th our chapter attended the Kappa National’s Virtual Founders Day Facebook Live celebration!
