Beta Zeta meets in the dining room/kitchen area for our chapter meetings on Sunday nights because our original chapter room isn’t big enough to comfortably fit all of our chapter members. In the spring we had forty-one people living in the house, and this past fall we had fifty-seven people who lived in.
==Highlights of 2017==
Over the past year, Beta Zeta had a few challenges here and there, but overall the chapter grew in many areas, making a successful year. As far as tiers go, we were on tier 0 during the spring semester of 2017, and the chapter remained on tier 0 until the end of the fall semester in 2017. However, both semesters the chapter remained on a warning of probation, but things were looking up for the chapter in fall. If the chapter works hard enough there will be improvements in the future, Betz Zeta was headed in the right direction. In addition, there was a ban of alcohol on all of greek life, no alcohol is to be promoted at any event, and we are unsure when this will be lifted.
Our own warning of Probation was focused on the academics of the members and the chapter worked hard this past year to try to improve academics. To encourage members to get good grades, members would get nominated if they did good on a test and would get a nice shirt at chapter meetings. Our Standards Chair worked hard this year putting together many sisterhoods throughout the year. A few examples are: Galentines day, fit gym, Beauty and the Beast movie, WERQ class, the Christmas Cozy, and finals week snacks. During the Galentine’s day sisterhood, members came to Kappa dressed in Valentine’s day apparel and there were fun desserts provided, then members just hungout and spent time together. Fit gym was a self defense class. Members got some education about self defense and how to do it. For the Beauty and the Beast sisterhood, members got together in April and headed to the movie theater to watch the new version of Beauty and the Beast. In the fall of 2017 there were only two sisterhoods. At the Werk sisterhood the members gathered at the recreation center and participated in a hour long dance/workout class. Finally the members attended a Christmas Cozy, where members decorated the tree, enjoyed treats, and decorated gingerbread houses. Then a couple days later snacks were provided for members at the house, along with study supplies for finals week. Last but not least, Beta Zeta was very excited to welcome sixty-one new members into our chapter this year. Members worked endlessly to prepare for recruitment, and carefully chose the future sisters that would be an awesome addition to the chapter as a whole.
On the University of Iowa campus we try to promote to not only the members involved in Greek life but also those that are not. Each organization particpates in each other’s events because we are all one community and we want to support each other in everything that goes on. All in all, our chapter is dedicated to loving, and supporting one another, along with others. Many members are involved in groups such as, Dance Marathon, Alpha Kappa Si, Sigma Alpha Lamda, Best buddies and many others. We also have members involved in sports teams. Everyone works together to make sure the chapter is running smoothly, and everyone enjoys their experience as a Kappa Kappa Gamma. We are not only friends, but we are also sisters and that is why Betz Zeta holds a special place in our hearts.
Our Spring and fall philanthropies were both very successful and ran very smoothly. In May we held the Kappa Kickoff, where guys formed football teams and were assigned coaches from kappa. The money that was earned was all donated Reading is Fundamental. In the fall, we organized cookies and Kappacinos, which was on T. Anne Cleary Walkway. Anybody walking by could buy a cookie along with a kappacino. The money we raised was also donated to Reading is fundamental. The next day our philanthropy chair decided to take the leftover cookies and coffee was donated to local businesses, and faternites or sororities.
Beta Zeta meets in the dining hall/ kitchen area of the Kappa house every sunday night at 7 for our chapter meetings. Beta Zeta is such an amazing experience that changes the lives of so many girls. You form sisterhoods that will last a lifetime. Every woman is a dedicated, loving, genuine person that make our chapter the best it can be. Every year the bonds grow more and more, even with new members coming in. We support each other no matter what and the love goes on long past the four years here at University of Iowa.
