'''Note This past year was challenged since we cut the capacity of our members living into half capacity, this meant only pledge class 2019 lived in the Kappa Kastle. We still held virtual chapter winter and spring term. We all had classes over zoom and most events were on zoom. Spring term, things went a little bit back to normal we held a virtual barn dance and other virtual events such as functions with other fraternities and our philanthropy, Kappas in the Key. Our chapter is academically successful and amazing, we have amazingly educated women in our chapter, it’s unbelievable. For the year of 2021, we were Panhellenic Chapter Registrar:''' of the year, we had both an upperclasswoman and a lower classwoman of the Please refer to your term, and in Spring 2021 we were above all women gpal!! I am so proud of this chapter archives including chapter meeting minutes and all the women. Fall term of 2021, we went back issues of ''The Key'' to fill in any gaps person classes on campus, with weekly in the above historical highlights. If your person chapter archives are not complete, please research your university librarycouncil meetings, as well as chapter meetings. It was a nice change and felt a little more normal. We had to wear masks on campus newspaper and yearbook archives in the chapter house for newsworthy information about your events, sisterhoods, chapter, and even our fall term house dance, with the theme of Denim and Diamonds. Please double check your work for accuracy. Contact In the fall during recruitment, we also welcomed 24 new women into our chapter Advisory or House Board membersand had our first in person Initiation since 2019, local Alumnae Association membersbecause of COVID. Everything went smoothly and we were able to have a successful Initiation. We also decided to switch philanthropies, or your Province Director instead of Chapters for assistanceRIF we now support the JED Foundation. For our fall term philanthropy, Kappa Kasino night, all proceeds went to the JED foundation. We raised over $3,200 and 14 chapters participated.

Your efforts will ensure The beginning of this year, Winter term 2021 we worked with the Heartland Humane Society here in Corvallis, Oregon with our Philanthropy called Kappa Kritters. We have worked with the Heartland Humane Society since 2019. We had a pet supplies drive where we raised over $1300 and collected over 100 items in donations to help animals in need of toys, food, and beds. In the Spring of 2021, we held a virtual Kappa’s in the Key event to support the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation. The KKG Foundation aids current and alumni Kappa members in times of financial need and crises. They give one woman in every chapter a $3,000 scholarship every year. Half of the money we raised from Kappa’s in the Key goes to the KKG Foundation. This term, fall 2021 we took away Reading is Fundamental (RIF) and instead partnered with the JED Foundation. Kappa Kappa Gamma nationally has partnered with six well established mental health related organizations. The JED Foundation protects emotional health and prevents suicide for teens and young adults. The Foundation gives skills and supports teens and young adults to thrive today and tomorrow. Fall term we have our Kappa Kasino night event. Greek members can come play games, eat food, and dance to the music while supporting a good cause.Each event we partake in everyone has a specific job. Whether that’s check-ins, managing Crowd Change page, Chipotle night or even making the backdrop for Kappa Kasino night. We advertise on social media pages and throughout the Greek life community. The women of Kappa Kappa Gamma love partaking in our philanthropies and especially love giving back to the community. One thing our new members said they were most excited about joining Kappa is our philanthropies. We have incorporated more DEI activities and education into our chapter with the addition of a complete DEI officer last year. We included and accurate history made more of your an effort to hold workshops for the chapter and our officers throughout the year. COVID affected our events this year, not as much as last year which was super nice. For recruitment the first two days of Sisterhood rounds were online on zoom. After that the rest of the rounds were in person, with social distancing and masks required. For initiation, we did a sisterhood instead of a senior freshman dinner then the Fireside ceremony. The initiates did not spend the night at Kappa and instead returned to the house the morning of Initiation. We did a combined White Room and Red Room ceremony instead of separate ceremonies, with masks required. Before this term we still had chapter on zoom and most events were virtual. This term, we had in person chapter for future generations the first time since COVID happened which is super nice. We didn’t do chapter dinners because of everyone being in the same room with masks off while eating. Instead, we had a sign-up sheet forgirls to enjoy!still eat their “chapter dinner” just on a different day. Most other events have been in person, back to normal-ish with masks required and social distancing.[[File:GammaMu.jpg|thumb|sisters]][[File:Gammamu2.jpg|thumb|sisters2]][[File:Gammamu4.jpg|thumb|sisters4]][[File:Gammamu5.jpg|thumb|sisters in masks]][[File:Gammamu6.jpg|thumb|event in masks]][[File:Gammamu7.jpg|thumb|big and little]]
