A L et t er F ro m O u r P res i den t This year has been very exciting and eventful for our chapter, and it is our great pleasure to share with you many of our accomplishments. First and foremost, we welcomed Beta Gamma, our newest pledge class into the fold of Epsilon Pi, which has been our biggest pledge class to date! They have integrated into our chapter perfectly and we could not be happier to call them our sisters. Epsilon Pi has endeavored to maintain leadership on campus through academics and other extracurricular activities. From the Dean’s list to Order of Omega, our sisters are focused on achieving high honors. Not only are we strong academically, but we also serve as role models for our peers on campus in other ways. Last spring quarter, we invited the children of Madison Elementary School to take tours of campus guided by our very own Kappas. It was a “Day in the Life,” where Epsilon Pi encouraged the elementary school children to excel in school and aspire to receive a higher education. This winter quarter of 2014, we held our annual Reading is Key event where we visited the children of Madison Elementary at their own school to share with them the joy of reading and to support our national philanthropy, “Reading is Fundamental”. We have strengthened our sisterhood by having events focused on building bonds and ritual. Some of these events included a sisterhood Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlor, Founders Day with the lovely sisters of Chapman University, formal at the Green River Golf Course, date party at The Rinks Corona Inline, and our own Scholarship Dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory. As you can see our chapter is not only involved, but also thriving in the college atmosphere. We offer a unique and meaningful sorority experience in which each member of our organization brings her own strengths and ideas that continue to better our organization. Whether the task is big or small, each woman plays her part by always “doing her little perfectly.” We are consistently excelling on campus and are looking forward to carrying on this tradition in the coming years.

Founders Day Etiam eu ipsum. O n October 13, 1870, our six founders proudly walked into chapel
Donec ac golden arcu. wearing keys in their hair with a dream of establishing an organization for collegiate women. And on that glorious day, Kappa 144 years ago, on October 13, 1870, six brave and inspiring women walked into chapel at Monmouth College wearing golden keys in their hair with the unified goal to establish an organization for collegiate woman that would create bonds across the nation. These six women would famously be remembered as the founders of our Fraternity, Kappa Kappa Gamma. On Kappa Kappa Gamma’s 144th anniversary, Epsilon Pi received our biggest pledge class yet. We had the opportunity to celebrate Founders Day with not only our largest new pledge class but also our local sisters of Eta Sigma from Chapman University, hosted in Downtown Riverside’s historic Mission Inn where sisters ate a delicious brunch and shared stories with recent alumnae. This celebration of our history was a perfect way to connect with sisters and honor our six founders who so proudly gave life to the Fraternity that brings all its members love, friendship, and loyalty.

Parents Day On May 23, 2014, Epsilon Pi Chapter hosted its annual Parents Day luncheon at the Indian Hills Golf Club. We welcomed parents, siblings, grandparents, and alumnae from the surrounding areas to celebrate the many wonderful achievements made by our chapter. Parents Day is a way for our families to learn more about Kappa Kappa Gamma, and how the experience of being in a sorority has made a positive difference in all of our lives. The luncheon also gives families and chapter members a chance to mingle, as well as view pictures and historical documents that tell the story behind Epsilon Pi. Every year, we take the opportunity to recognize a few outstanding members who go above and beyond for the chapter. Awards given at our yearly event highlight the sisters that are most devoted, inspirational, sincere, and loyal. Additionally, we are so very proud of the academic achievements made by the sisters of Kappa Kappa Gamma, and acknowledge the members with the highest GPA, and most improved. Kappa Kappa Gamma inspires us to become strong women with exceptional leadership skills, and dedicated to a life of good will, service and sisterhood. We hope by sharing these values with our families at Parents Day, our families will feel more connected to the bonds we share as sisters of this fraternity.

Scholarship Over the last year, Epsilon Pi chapter and the Vice President of Academic Excellence continuously worked hard to improve their academics. This year, our chapter has been above the All Women’s Sorority GPA Average. This past Winter of 2015, our chapter held the highest GPA out of all Panhellenic Sororities at UCR. It is through sisterly support and resources provided by our VPAE that allow us to excel in our studies each quarter. Our VPAE has put extensive thought into new programs of education this year, such as daily library hours, promoting “KKGeek of the Week” using study-selfies, and personal meetings with the Academic Excellence committee and sisters who need extra attention. Also, every quarter, each sister individually sets a GPA goal for herself, and it is celebrated if we achieve our goal at the end of the quarter. It is thanks to the committee of the Vice President of Academic Excellence that our chapter has become so successful in our studies. We continue to strive for our academic excellence, for our academic excellence is a value that we sisters have in common.

Philanthropy Over the past year we have followed old traditions, and built upon new ones. In May 2014, we held our event “A Day In The Life”. This event is when we invited more than a hundred 6th graders to visit UCR and spend the day with us so that we can show them what college is all

The Epsilon Pi Chapter is very excited to say that we have done a lot to uphold the standards that Kappa Kappa Gammas cherish in our philanthropic efforts
about. This event is especially memorable because the students leave UCR excited for the possible futures they can have and the sisters of Epsilon Pi are so ecstatic to be able to encourage this excitement.
In April 2014, we held our second annual Words With Friends Competition with our Monmouth sisters of Pi Beta Phi to promote our respective philanthropies, which support literacy. For this spelling bee and speed-reading event, we received donations of money and books to give to our adopted community elementary schools, Madison Elementary and Rainbow Ridge Elementary.

Various organizations participated in the event and went home with a better understanding of the importance of literacy in children.
On February 12, 2015, Epsilon Pi held our fifth annual “Reading Is Key” event. This year’s theme was “Welcome To The Circus”. This event was hosted at Madison Elementary and the sisters of Epsilon Pi chapter get to spend the day with the first graders of the school. The morning consisted of crafts, snacks, face painting, one-on-one reading to the children, and at the end of the day each child went home with their very own book. This year, we gave each child “Clifford At The Circus” by Norman Bridwell. We also donated books to the library so that the whole school can enjoy the donation.
