→Highlights of 2013
The overall nature of our chapter is that of a real sisterhood. One of the aspects that our new members have told us coming in is that they decided to go Kappa because they could really see that we actually got along with each other. The Zeta Mu chapter prides itself on being diverse and taking in members from all different majors and walks of life.
==Highlights of 2014==
In the spring of 2014 the Zeta Mu Chapter welcomed 47 new members into our chapter. They were initiated on March 23, 2014. That semester we participated in XXX PHILAN and placed in XXX of them. We also held our PHILAN, Kaddy Shack in which XXX organizations participated.
During informal recruitment in the fall of 2014 we welcomed 8 new members who were initiated on November 8, 2014. During the fall we participated in XXXX PHILIAN and placed in XXX of them.
This year, with the change in the GPA requirement at Convention, we are hoping to get off of our academic focus plan. The change really helped us by being able to recruit really academically strong women.
Recently the PHC executive board at Virginia Tech decided to change the timeframe for our Formal Recruitment process. In the past Formal Recruitment has been over the weekend before classes start and then also the first weekend after classes start. PHC announced Fall 2014 that Formal Recruitment for Spring 2015 would happen the week before classes started, enabling both sisters and new members to focus and get a good start on the semester.
PHC also removed the GPA requirement for Formal Recruitment in spring of 2014 and onward. This allows all campus women the chance to participate in Formal Recruitment, but the drawback to this is the amount of girls participating with unacceptable GPAs.
Virginia Tech also offered a Legacy Report which at last check (2/13/2015) is stated to be from information collected in 2013. All subjects are listed as above average except for the conduct section marked 'violation'. This violation has since been removed for the past year and a half. This information has been made available to PNMs and there is also no specification on what the violation is or the severity which has been a bit problematic.
Over all the Zeta Mu chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma is characterized on campus as a diverse group of collegiate women who are welcoming and sisterly to all who enter our doors.
Chapter for the Spring 2014 Semester was held in Hahn Hall North, a university owned building. Fall 2014 Chapter was held in Hancock Hall, also a university owned building. We do have housing where members have the opportunity to live together. The house is university owned with 16 rooms there is space for up to 32 girls at one time.
