==Highlights of 2013==
'''Housing:'''We started off our calendar year with a very successful recruitment by welcoming in 79 new members. We ended up initiating around 65. We received an award from our Panhellenic Council of the People’s Choice Sisterhood Award that recognized us for showing particular excellence in exhibiting the true bonds of sisterhood. Our chapter goals included building up a bigger public image on campus through social media and creating more alumni events. We accomplished our social media goal by creating a website and pinterest, promoting our twitter, and encouraging girls to take photos in letters on letter days. We accomplished our alumni goal by making plans for events that alumni could come to during football season.
One challenge we overcame was the large new member class we welcomed in on bid day. We were expecting around 60 girls to walk through the door, but when 79 came in we were a bit surprised. The high volume of new members forced us to watch our every penny to make sure that the new member all got their gifts and that they were properly educated in all things Kappa.
'''Philanthropy:'''  '''Chapter Convention Awards:'''We participated in a variety of philanthropies that included Delta Gamma’s Anchorsplash, Alpha Chi Omega’s Mock Rock, Tau Kappa Epsilon’s TKE Week, GERMAN Club’s Goldrush, Phi Sigma Kappa’s Special Olympics. We placed first in both Alpha Delta Pi’s Safari Hunt and Pi Beta Phi’s Angels In the Outfield. We placed second in Beta Theta Pi’s Deck the Halls. Both Anchorsplash and Mock Rock had dances as a way to earn points toward winning their respective philanthropies and we had at least 50 girls participate in each dance.
There have been a multitude of changes to our campus, most of them regarding the construction of new buildings and/or remodeling of old ones. One notable change to the football season was that of the school opening up season ticket sales to all members of the student body instead of just limiting it to sophomores, juniors, and seniors.
The overall nature of our chapter is that of a real sisterhood. One of the aspects that our new members have told us coming in is that they decided to go Kappa because they could really see that we actually got along with each other. The Zeta Mu chapter prides itself on being diverse and taking in members from all different majors and walks of life.
