→Highlights of 2018
Eta Chi wrapped up another great semester with their annual holiday party on December 8th. Members came dressed in their best holiday attire, competed for the best gingerbread house, exchanged gifts through “secret sister,” and enjoyed snacks and the company of fellow sisters for the last time of 2018.
Highlights of 2019
To start off the year, Eta Chi had a roller-skating event. Although some girls may have had trouble staying on their feet, their sisters were there to help them up. The theme was Blue and Blue Looks Good On You Too, meaning all of the girls showed up in their best Kappa-themed blue attire. They finished off the night with yummy cake.
Kappa sisters participated in NC State's Dance Marathon, where they stayed on their feet for 12 hours to benefit Duke Children's Hospital. This is a special NC State event that allows participants to interact directly with the kids they are fundraising for. Eta Chi even took home an award for the 3rd place Miracle Team for 2019!
In February, the sisters had their first date function of the semester. Everyone was encouraged to bring a date and dress as opposites for the theme of "Opposites Attract." This gave everyone the opportunity to get creative and it was exciting to see what everyone wore.
For the 2nd date function of the year, Kappa sisters dressed up in green, yellow, and purple attire with their dates for the Mardi Gras theme event. Color beads were handed out to the sisters tearing it up on the dance floor.
In March Eta Chi hosted its second annual Mac and Keys philanthropy event to benefit Reading is Fundamental and was loved by all attendees. Guests were able to enjoy delicious mac and cheese while being entertained by live music from Mattie and the Masters. Kendra Scott and Vestige were also there selling beautiful jewelry and clothing.
In April the third formal was hosted at Tobacco Road Sports Cafe. Sisters brought their dates to the house and took party buses to the venue. At formal, sisters ate catered food and showed off their best dance moves.
Senior Send-off was hosted at Still-life in downtown Raleigh. Everyone wore a funky wig because they were "wiggin out" due to the seniors graduating. Each senior received a sign of what sisters in the chapter thought they were mostly known as in their time in Kappa. For example, most likely to know all the song lyrics by Taylor Swift. At the end of the night, Seniors left the venue through a sparkler arch created by their fellow sisters holding sparklers.
Fall semester began with August work week/spirit week. After along summer apart, the sisters of Eta Chi were eager to see each other again. Preparations for a new pledge class began while everyone dressed up for different themes every day. Seeing the girls "throw down for their hometown" was a favorite of the sisters. The week ended with a fun evening
of outdoor games where girls cheered each other on fun events like potato sack races and the human knot. Labor Day Weekend Recruitment: Eta Chi's Fall 2019 pledge class got to run home to their new sisters and were able to experience a Grecian Getaway the Kappa way! The night was full of laughter, dancing, and white linen pants.
