==Highlights 2016==
NOTE: The time period covered with this report is January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016.
Summary:
Over the past year our chapter has made some remarkable improvements. Our chapter raised its cumulative average GPA, making us the fifth highest of all sororities on campus. In addition to our academic achievements, Zeta Psi chapter was also able to raise almost 15 thousand dollars for our three philanthropies: Brenner’s Children’s Hospital, The Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation, and Reading is fundamental. Chapter Council has done an overwhelming job with transitions, implementing new systems of communication so that we may be more organized in coming years. This year our chapter was also put on a focus letter, which motivated us to set goals for the following year. These goals were to change chapter leadership and be better examples for each other, while protecting the name of Kappa Kappa Gamma. Despite these setbacks, Zeta Psi received three awards from Panhellenic this year. First, Ashton Caudle, a senior member, was awarded with Greek Woman of the Year, while Alexandra Miller, a sophomore member, won Most Outstanding New Member. As a whole, the chapter also won an award for Leadership.
Campus Changes:
Over the past year, the Wake Forest Campus has undergone many changes. A new dorm has been constructed on campus, Maya Angelou Hall, and will house juniors returning from their semesters abroad. In addition to the new dormitory, WFU has constructed a field house for the football team, a new practice field, and they continue to develop the new fitness center. In addition to these updates, the Law School also underwent construction and updates and now houses the Health and Exercise Science department.
Chapter Meetings and Housing:
Each Monday evening at 7:30, our Zeta Psi holds chapter meetings in Pugh Auditorium, a room in the Benson Center owned by the University. The Benson Center is home to the food court, administration offices, the bank, the movie theater and the on-campus restaurant, Shorty’s.
Historically, there has always been a space for sophomore members to get the chance to live together. Currently, our members occupy suites in the Dogwood dorm on South Campus, which is University owned. Depending on the year, about 40 members are given the opportunity to live in the Greek block, and members are chosen randomly.
This is the fourth year that Kappa has been based in the Dogwood Dorm, with our lounge located in the back side of the building. Previously, Zeta Psi was located in Martin Residence Hall, which is currently occupied by another sorority. In May, our lounge was given a redesign by a member of our chapter, who worked along with the House Board Treasurer in order to make some updates. The lounge is now used constantly as a meeting space, as well as a fun place to go with friends.
Woman Behind the Badge:
As we look ahead to the Fraternity’s Sesquicentennial celebration in 2020, please tell us the story of any historical badge being worn by a member of your chapter. Such a badge might be worn by your chapter’s president, another officer or a member who is recognized for her high scholarship. We are compiling information about the fantastic women who have brought us to this point in our history, the Women Behind the Badge.
