The chapter continued its focus on strengthening sisterhood.
==Highlights of 2011==
In One of the highlights of 2011 for many of the members of the Zeta Nu chapter started was the success of our first ever annual Kappa Karnival a philanthropy, raising more than $6,000 to raise money for the San Diego Children's Center for Children. With We were able to raise over six thousand dollars with the help from of other sororities Greek organizations on campus and fraternities, as well as the UCSD clubs, student body. But the most influential part of the Karnival for many of the girls was getting to watch the kids from the event hosted center enjoy themselves playing carnival booths games and food eating fair foods to not only make this a great day for our chapter, but for children at the Centerkids who we were raising the money for as well.
2011 Province Meeting – Before the Karnival we went to the SDCC to help the kids to decorate shirts that they wore when they attended the Karnival so that they stood out and could feel special. After working diligently on our sisterhood the Zeta Nu chapter won the Most Improved Chapter Awardaward of our province at the Provence meeting in April of 2011. We won the Lambda Chi Alpha philanthropy the Watermelon Bust and our girls worked really hard to compete in Sigma Kappa's Philanthropy Dancing with the Greeks. Kappa Kappa Gamma continued to raise the most money for the San Diego Breast Cancer walk out of all the other Greek Organizations for the fifth year in a row. The new members also got a chance to meet the kids from SDCC when we participated in a 5K to raise money and awareness of the center. Our new Alpha Theta pledge class has been a source of pride for the Zeta Nu chapter with girls who represent Kappa with grace and class, they are a wonderful addition to the chapter. It is our hopes that Alpha Theta continue in 2012 to explore every opportunity Kappa has to offer them. Zeta Nu was also awarded second place in Risk Management and Chapter Management at the annual Greek Awards at UCSD.

In 2011 the Zeta Nu Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma worked on strengthening the bonds of sisterhood by giving our girls a chance to get to know every sister through increased sisterhoods and creating programs where you got to get to know a different sister on a new level. Our sisterhood was one of the biggest things that our chapter needed to work on, with over 100 active members it can seem overwhelming to get to know every girl on a personal level. But everyone in our chapter took a more active role to be a good sister to everyone in the chapter. There were more sisterhoods, but to make every girl feel included the members were given the chance to suggest ideas to the Standards committee on what activities they would like to do for sisterhoods so that they were more enjoyable and something the chapter could look forward to. Girls would get together to have dinner together before meeting each week so that they had the chance to catch up weekly and enjoy each others company. One of the most enjoyed sisterhoods of the year was when we rented out the top floor of The Living Room, a local coffee shop, where the girls could get a coffee and snack and just hang out together, the intimate setting of the helped promote meaningful conversations between a sisters that had not gotten to spend as much time with on an individual basis before.
 
We also chose to continue a tradition of taking our new members to a bounce house so they could experience the fun, carefree side of Kappa, which helped everyone in the chapter see a different sides of our sisters without the stresses of being a college student. We also started the Kappa Kisses program, every two weeks you drew a name and you would do something special for that sister, from grabbing dinner before meeting , to bringing baked goods or coffee to them in the library, this gave girls another opportunity to talk to one of their sisters they hadn't gotten to know as well as before. Because every girl has been given the chance to take more of an initiative in her own sisterhood we have seen success in our attempts of strengthening our bonds of friendship through increased attendance to meeting and campus events, and in the overall morale of our chapter as a whole.
