The university is a merger of Downer Women’s College in Milwaukee and Lawrence College in Appleton and is a small, private, liberal arts institution. At the time of Zeta Epsilon’s founding, the campus had 1,100 students. Lawrence has a picturesque setting with graceful, limestone academic buildings and residential halls overlooking the Fox River. A magnificent memorial chapel inspires the compact campus and the quaint residential community in downtown Appleton. Paper mills line the Fox River, which cuts through the center of town. Among other strengths, Lawrence University’s Conservatory of Music attracts many students. The Greek system is small but strong, and demand was high among the women’s groups for a new chapter to join the campus. Panhellenic voted in the fall of 1980 to form an extension committee to research national groups and asked four to give a presentation in February of 1981. Fraternity President Sally Moore Nitschke, Beta Nu—Ohio State, traveled to Appleton in February to make the presentation to the Panhellenic and the extension committee along with representatives from Pi Beta Phi, Kappa Alpha Theta and Delta Gamma. The following month, Kappa was notified that it had been selected as the fourth sorority to join Lawrence University. The foundational Recruitment began the week of April 21–25 under the direction of Marjorie Converse, Gamma Delta—Purdue, Chairman of Extension. The leadership team also included Barbara Laitner, Beta Mu—Colorado, 1978–80 Field Secretary; Cathi Gelhaar, Epsilon PDA; Nancy Laitner, Diane Delayo, and Talby Hardy, 1980–81 Field Secretaries; Cathy Harrison, Laurie Schmidt and Lynn Atkinson, Eta—Wisconsin, members. Other Eta actives and Fox River Alumnae Association members also participated. On Thursday evening, a reception was held in the Gold Room in Downer Hall on campus. Punch, cookies, and a slideshow were enjoyed in addition to the beautiful singing by Eta members. Potential new members signed up for interviews to be held the next day. On Saturday, a celebratory luncheon was held in Colman Hall and all of the young women were presented with invitations to membership. To the thrill of everyone in the room, they accepted their bids unanimously! A short pledging service followed, and the remainder of the day was spent taking pictures, singing Kappa songs, and giving many hugs. ==Installation of Zeta Epsilon==The charter members were a diverse and multi-talented group with women from many states including Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, Kentucky and Wisconsin. Rugby, photography, tennis, politics, advertising, math, psychology, vocal performance and theatre are few of the interests. Diane Delayo and Talby Hardy stayed with the colony until June. Sheila Cloyes, Beta Mu—Colorado, was appointed their Graduate Counselor to help prepare them for Installation in the fall and assist in making their first official year as a chapter successful.  Zeta Epsilon Chapter was installed at the local Masonic Temple on October 24, 1981. Fraternity President Sally Moore Nitschke, and Marjorie Moree Keith, Gamma Alpha—Kansas State, Director of Philanthropies, were the installing officers. Graduate Counselor Sheila Cloyes, Beta Mu—Colorado, and Field Secretary Wendy Paxton, Epsilon Omega—Dickinson, joined by Province Directors Cathy Bernotas Gelhaar, Epsilon—Illinois Wesleyan, and Jane Weinhagen Ullom, Epsilon Zeta—Florida State, assisted in making the weekend memorable. Local alumnae on various committees helped make the weekend a success. Alumnae and active chapters from Epsilon Province greeted the new chapter with many lovely gifts, and members of Eta—Wisconsin, served as big sisters while visitors from Upsilon—Northwestern, and Alpha Deuteron—Monmouth, also participated. Barbara Laitner, Beta Mu—Colorado, former Field Secretary, served as toastmistress for the banquet held at Dower Hall where Lawrence President Warch’s comments reflected interest and optimistic commitment to sororities on campus. The new Kappas were a diverse group, which included the cheerleading captain, student body president, an opera major, a rugby player and a language major who spoke Russian. Zeta Epsilon was off to a great start! ==The Early Years==In 1981, Kappa Kappa Gamma joined three other thriving sororities on the Lawrence University campus - Delta Gamma, Kappa Alpha Theta, and Pi Beta Phi. All of the sororities were strong on Lawrence’s little campus, and pledge classes were always 20 or more girls each year. Kappa 'Family lines' of five or six sisters each were created to help members get to know one another. Zeta Epsilon held ice cream socials, bowling parties, a pumpkin walk, and cookouts to get to know each other. Use of the correct Kappa ritual and sisterhoods were great strengths of this text new chapter. They established Kappa Krush (selling Orange Crush sodas with a note to be delivered to your crush) and Kappa Grab-a-Date events. In 1987 Kappa had the highest GPA on campus and was at quota for membership totals.  ===Highlights of the 1990s=== Membership in all sororities at Lawrence University dropped in the 1990s, and sadly, Pi Phi disappeared from campus. 1994 - 1995 were tough years. There were attitude challenges, and Zeta Epsilon held a fall retreat to try to get things back on track. A lot of time and effort was expended by the VP Standards at this time. They established a chapter history by clicking edit near goal of SALSA - Sisterhood, Academics, Leadership, Social Activities.  Zeta Epsilon held Round Robins, Kappa Krush parties, Pledge Formals, mixers, cookouts, tailgates, Shish-Ka-Quad parties, Panhel/IFC picnics, Pumpkin Walks, Murder Mystery parties, camping retreats, and Blue and Blue Dinners. They also participated in intermural sports and activities with other sororities and fraternities. Many hours were volunteered for the Fox Valley Domestic Abuse Center and the Children’s Booth at Celebrate. January 1999 brought a formal recruitment that yielded no new members, and a time of revamping and reorganization began.  By the next school year, Kappa was first on campus in GPA, and they had a very successful Karamel Apple Sale to benefit the Fox Valley Domestic Abuse Center. Fraternity & Sorority Life now comprised 20% of the top rightcampus population.

==Highlights of 2010-2020==From 2012onward, Zeta Epsilon grew steadily through formal recruitment and COBs, often welcoming between 5–15 new members each year. Popular sisterhood events like Baskin Robbins lock-ins, Bjorklunden retreats, Nerd Days, and new member formals strengthened bonds, while annual traditions—including Too Hot to Handle (wing-eating contest), Kappa Krush (Crush soda fundraiser), and Kappa Karamel Apples—consistently raised money for Harbor House, our local philanthropy. The chapter earned recognition multiple times, such as Best Sisterhood, Most Panhellenic Sorority, and honorable mentions for ritual. Several members received scholarships, leadership awards, and opportunities to attend national Kappa events, strengthening ties with the broader organization. Academics were an ongoing focus: in early years we worked hard to improve GPAs and were eventually released from an academic focus plan. Leadership development was prioritized through officer retreats, programming meetings, and workshops like “Dress for Success.” By mid-decade, Zeta Epsilon expanded programming around diversity and inclusion, mental health, and personal well-being, hosting campus speakers and participating in Greek Diversity Initiative conversations. The chapter also developed closer ties with non-Panhellenic organizations on campus. Throughout 2016–2019, chapter pride and spirit grew stronger, with Greek Week victories, philanthropy successes, and intentional efforts to support one another. New traditions like Friendsgiving, spa/game nights for COB, and Founders Day brunches with alumnae became beloved annual events. 2019–2020 brought memorable milestones and challenges. Recruitment continued to bring enthusiastic new members, creative formals, and strong philanthropy events (like Kappa Kappaccino). Campus-wide, the Polar Vortex and new meal plan policies marked student life. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic forced a sudden shift to online activities, but the chapter adapted with Zoom sisterhood events, virtual recruitment, and creative big/little reveals. Despite the disruptions, we initiated new members, maintained philanthropy support for Harbor House, and continued celebrating traditions—including Kappa’s 150th anniversary virtually. This time also brought a fair amount of change, as several fraternities were lost, houses were exchanged on the Quad, and Beta Psi Nu, a local sorority, joined the wing. In the same way, it was during this time that the chapter also responded to the national Abolish Greek Life movement with honest reflection, DEI programming, and ongoing adjustments to recruitment and chapter culture to ensure inclusivity and belonging, which has allowed us to remain a tight-knit, resilient chapter - balancing challenges with creativity, maintaining philanthropic commitments, and growing stronger in sisterhood, leadership, and pride. ==Highlights of 2020== One of the first memories of 2020 was welcoming our new pledge class! During primary recruitment our first round was to have the potential new members get to know our chapter by casual conversations. In this round we inform the PNM of what Greek life is like at Lawrence and what the chapter is like. There are posters around the room that tell the PNM about all of our major and minors and the extracurricular activities everyone in is involved in. Round two is all about our philanthropy. This is when we inform them about the organizations that we support. During this round we colored bookmarks to give to the children for a local elementary school. This is the round where we get to know the PNM very well. Round 3 focused on our ritual. This round is more personalized to the PNM by telling then how we saw Kappa in them. We initiated our 7 new members on January 28 and January 29. Our philanthropy for winter term was “Kappa Kappaccino.” We sold coffee and donuts on campus to raise money for Harbor House. We had our new member formal on the second floor of Warch Campus Center. We provided snacks and drinks, along with multiple backdrops for pictures. We had multiple backdrops for pictures. This was a great event to celebrate your new members. On March 12 we were told that campus will be closed for next term do to the COVID-19 Pandemic. This was a very sad day for everyone because it meant one less term with our lovely seniors. To honor our seniors, we put on senior sendoff that Saturday to say goodbye. The sophomores sang a song to the seniors. We did change some of the lyrics to make them more Kappa oriented. The juniors performed a skit for the seniors as well. We then fulfilled our tradition where our seniors give us their old Kappa shirts and we all wear everything that we are given. By the end, we are all wearing several layers of clothing and we take a picture. Our last day on campus was on March 18 which was the last day for the school year of 2019-2020. Spring term was very different to everyone at Lawrence. This was the first term that was all online. To keep in touch during the pandemic we had Zoom coffee dates and other fun activites. We also tried to have movie nights on Friday, but we had some technology problems. Our chapter did not have a philanthropy event spring term due to COVID-19.

We On November 7 we had big/little reveal. To reveal who the hot wing-eating contestbig and little pairings, Too Hot To Handle, again for Spring Greek Week and it the bigs did a TikTok.

The philanthropy for fall term is that our study hours, but we have not yet been able chapter donated money to Harbor House for their needs. We are doing this because other types of philanthropy events are really hard to get off the plando because of COVID-19.

Another obstacle that arose fall term was the movement of Abolish Greek Life. Our campus is Chapter addressed this by having people from headquarters come to a small (1400 or so students) liberal arts collegechapter meeting to talk to us about the movement across the country. We have three Panhellenic sororities They also walked us through different situations on campuswhat could happen and where to go from there. The next meeting, we came up with ideas to improve and change the chapter for everyone. None of Also, during the sororities have housing; instead we each have meeting rooms. Our chapter is small with about 40 membersheadquarters, but we talked about changing primary recruitment. We are very tight-knit and all care for and help one another with both chapter and individual needscurrently in the process of adjusting recruitment, so everyone feels more welcomed.

We had recruitment in January and we got a 5 new members from it. We then had Winter COBs and got 5 more new members. They were initiated in April. We had a Baskin Robbins lock-in as our first sisterhood event with our new members. We received Chapter Philanthropies:Harbor HouseReading is Fundamental Kappa Kappa Gamma FoundationEach of these organizations represent the award causes that are important for Most Panhellenic Sorority from our Panhellenic Council. Our president at the time, Hallie Witmer, received an award for Outstanding Demonstration of Leadershipus as a chapter to support.

Two members received scholarships for winter term duesThe chapter included Diversity, one being from our house board and the other being the Marion McMillen scholarship. In the springEquity, we had our annual Too Hot To Handle hot wing-eating contest, which was fun and raised money for our local philanthropy, Harbor HouseInclusion (DEI) training this year by adding a DEI officer. Late in the Spring, During fall term our meeting room was broken intochapter had a small committee that came up with different activities to talk about DEI. We caught them and sent them had a speaker come to our campus’s Judicial Board. Their punishment was talk to each write us a letter of apology. We did COBs the chapter about their experiences in the Fall and got 2 more new members from itGreek Life. We are also did Kappa Karamel Apples at a volleyball game, since the homecoming football game was rained out. In the Fall, at changing how the beginning of the 2013-14 school year, we were able to get off of the academic focus plan, since we had all worked hard and raised our cumulative GPA. Being off of the focus plan allowed us to organize more mixers and sisterhood eventschapter does primary recruitment.

At the beginning of this school yearTo celebrate Kappa’s 150th anniversary, Lawrence’s new president, Mark Burstein, was inaugurated. He is a good president who is much more present than we did the last one, though he could use some education virtual ceremony on the Greek life on campusOctober 11, which we are offering to him2020 following a chapter meeting. Our chapter is rather small, comparatively with chapters on bigger campuses, but that allows us also decided to have the readers for the celebration to be very close-knit and have great interpersonal relationships. None of around the sororities at Lawrence have housing, but country to show that we each have a nice room of our own on campus in which we hold our weekly meetings, as well as other smaller meetings and some sisterhood events; are together even when we are also free to hang out and do homework with one another in our room, as it is a very safe and comfortable spaceapart.

==Highlights of 2023==Spring term of 2023, our chapter was awarded the sorority cup for the highest chapter GPA. We addressed and combated challenges through had our Leadership Action Plan goals. Our focus areas included philanthropy spring formal and alumna relationssapphire ball, effectively using programming meetings, participation in committees and budgeting, and involvement in and understanding of the Panhellenic Council and knowledge of Kappa and chapter historywhich was a success. We aimed to address these challenges by giving a philanthropy presentation during new member periods, having more hands-on RIF related volunteering, planning monthly programming meetings covering topics continued our tradition of interest to the chapter, making committee agendas organized “blue and efficientblue, holding ” which we award to one committee meeting per month, keeping committee or more members involved by delegating tasks and meeting regularlyduring the chapter who have done something to deserve a shoutout. For example, holding a programming meeting informing members about the history “blue and function blue” was awarded to our VP of PanhelExternal Hilirie for planning our upcoming “Mr. Kappa” event, enforcing attendance at Panhel meetings more strictly, and having the Panhel delegate be more explicit about the proceedings of Panhel meetingswhich will become a special event that we will do each year.

RecentlyWe are also starting a tradition of “Why Kappa Wednesday” on our Instagram page, where each Wednesday we highlight a local sororitydifferent member and explain why they went Kappa and stayed Kappa. Our goals for this next year are to host more open events on campus to increase our campus presence and get more new members. For example, Beta Psi Nu, joined we opened our Panhellenic Council as study tables and have already seen an associate memberincrease in interest in our chapter.
