Some highlights of winter term were successfully hosting our annual Kappa Casino event to raise money for Reading is Fundamental. During this time three of our sisters used the short term to study abroad. Quin McLaughlin and Paula Schneider studied abroad in London, England and Deena Merrill studied abroad in Greece. During spring term two wonderful new members were recruited and initiated into Zeta Pi chapter through spring recruitment; Katie Growe and Danielle Pulley. Nine seniors graduated in May becoming alumna of Kappa Kappa Gamma and the College of Idaho; Morgan Clifford, Monica Mulder, Hailey Chambers, Deena Merrill, Kira Hughs, Cassie Arana, Coree Gibson, Reanna Vanacore, and Angel Whittington. They accomplished much during their time at the College of Idaho, and their futures are bright. Our sister Hailey Chambers graduated with a 4.0 GPA; she was selected as a commencement speaker, received the Nancy C. Hazelwood Awards, and began her first term at Duke Medical School in the fall of 2017. Even though school is not in session in the summer, several sisters were productive with their free time. Anabel Keller and Marissa Pekarek participated in a faculty-lead study abroad trip to Mexico. Quin McLaughlin and Isabela Lete took part in a biomedical research internship through Idaho INBRE. Megan Phelps went up to Stanley Idaho and partook in an internship through the Salmon River Emergency Clinic. This fall was a very exciting time for our chapter! We recruited four new members into Zeta Pi chapter, two of which were Kappa legacies (Taylor Gordon, Bailey Munson, Riley Nielsen, Kirsten Egurrola). Our sister Anabel Keller also studied aboard in Prague, Czech Republic throughout the entire fall semester. On November 14th, 2017, our chapter-celebrated founder’s day for the Zeta Pi chapter of KKG, this date marked 30 years for our small chapter! We also had a sister attended a leadership conference in Ohio. Two of our sisters participated in Sigma Chi’s annual Miss College of Idaho fundraiser. Katie Growe represented the cheer team, and Paula Schneider represented KKG. Both gave amazing performances demonstrating their many talents. This semester concluded with our chapter achieving the highest GPA out of the entire Greek system at the College of Idaho. We worked very hard and achieved very much in 2017. ==Highlights of 2018s:== From chapter’s History Report: Scholarship, group honors/awards, traditions, special events, changes on campus or within chapter, overall nature of the chapter, chapter goals, challenges and how they were overcome, etc.: This year we started out the year with 2 co-presidents of our college. Our chapter is generally small but growing larger. We are extremely academic based and try to be involved in as many events around campus as possible. We graduated 11 members, Chapter Council slimmed down to 5 members. This created a challenge but girls learned to delegate to get things done efficiently We started a tradition of smarty panties for those who achieved academic excellence each week. We made the goal to increase membership and achieved it with a recruitment of 6 members. One member received the Heritage Scholarship. '''Housing:''' We live in university housing but the chapter meets in the University Faculty Senate Room '''Philanthropy:'''We chose "Reading Is Key" because it is the Fraternity's philanthropy. We also selected the Ronald McDonald House because it is something we are more able to connect to and many of our members have personal experience with it. '''Chapter Convention Awards:''' Most Improved Academic Excellence ==Highlights of 2019== Zeta Pi rallied together in the face of a challenging recruitment season and pledged some wonderful new sisters that will help push Zeta Pi forward. We held our traditional Heart Sister dinner and combined it with a scholarship banquet where we honored sisters that achieved academically. At the beginning of the fall term we decided to adopt an owl and went to see him at the zoo as part of a recruitment sisterhood. Along with Reading is Fundamental, Zeta Pi incorporated the Ronald McDonald House as part of our philanthropic efforts. Chapter members also volunteered for a variety of other organizations. College of Idaho saw its largest freshman class this fall, with over 400 students. Unfortunately, we have seen a steady decline in interest in Greek life but the chapters on our campus continue to recruit successfully. Some of our members celebrated Founders Day with the Boise Valley Alumnae Association. However, Zeta Pi did not have a chapter hosted Founders Day this year. ==Highlights of 2020== Like all other chapters around the world, Zeta Pi was faced with difficult year in 2020. College of Idaho made the decision to move online shortly after our new Chapter Council was elected. With the help of the Fraternity's Ritual and History Content Team, we conducted our first ever virtual initiation for our Spring 2020 Pledge Class. March and April were very difficult months for our chapter. Our seniors learned that we would not be able to host Sapphire Ball, Senior Gift Exchange, or attend our Reading is FUNdamental event. However, our Chapter Council worked diligently to come up with alternatives. We shipped gifts to all the seniors and came up with several contingency plans for the next semester, planning for in-person, online, and hybrid alternatives. Our chapter’s focus quickly shifted to mental health. In Fall 2020, all our events were held virtually for the safety of our members and, hopefully, the decrease of the spread of COVID-19. Recruitment was held virtually but was still very successful! We recruited six amazing new members who were virtually initiated in November 2020. While this year looked very different from normal, it was still a wonderful learning experience for all our members, especially our chapter officers. Together, we learned the value of respect in times of great stress, unity despite geographic separation, and conflict management. While the future of COVID-19 is unknown, we hope that we can continue to use it to learn more about our sisters and ourselves through these times. Individual Member Accomplishments: Alexis Muir was inducted into the College of Idaho’s circle of Omicron Delta Kappa. Zoe Young participated in the Salmon River Medical Internship in Stanley, ID and completed her EMT certification. Zeta Pi chose to support the Ronald McDonald House Charities this year.We have several members within the chapter who feel a personal connection to their organization. It was chosen several years ago and has remained a tradition. Unfortunately, due to the health risks associated with COVID-19, we were unable to cook a Thanksgiving meal for the Boise Ronald McDonald House as we have done in the past. We look forward to fundraising for this organization and other local non-profits next semester and volunteering in person once it is safe again. We also have a goal to begin volunteering for the local humane society as many of our members have expressed a great interest in working with animals. On November 1st, 2020, Zeta Pi unanimously voted to include a DEI Chairwoman starting in 2021. The DEI position will take effect on January 31st, 2021. Throughout the year, we have had a few incidents on campus that helped us realize just how important it is for us to be proactive in diversity, equity, and inclusion. We look forward to promoting DEI within Zeta Pi and throughout our campus. Zeta Pi was able to celebrate the Fraternity's Sesquicentennial in a number of ways. We were lucky enough to be visited by the Minnie Stewart Van in Spring 2020 before COVID-19 affected our area. Since our campus and state regulations prevented us from celebrating together, we shared fun facts at our meeting prior to the 150th anniversary. Then, we watched the Facebook Live event hosted by the fraternity. We absolutely loved the event and learning more about Kappa’s rich history. ==Highlights of 2021==--------------- '''Note to Chapter Registrar:''' Please refer to your chapter archives including chapter meeting minutes and back issues of '''The Key''' to fill in any gaps in the above historical highlights.
