'''Campus:''' Located in scenic La Jolla just minutes from the beach, the University of California, San Diego is known as one of the top public research institutions in the nation since it's founding in 1960. There are over 23,000 undergraduates and 5,000 graduate students. UCSD is ranked the 7th best public school in the nation and 35th among the nation's top 50 universities.
'''Chapter:''' The Zeta Nu Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma is one of the nine Panhellinic sororities at UCSD. With over 100 active members, we are also one of the largest sororities on campus. The members of the Zeta Nu chapter pride themselves in maintaining good relationships with not only other chapters in the Panhellinic council, but with other school affiliated organizations as well. 2011 Province Meeting – Most Improved Chapter Award.
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.
