Although we dearly miss pre-COVID days, we are thankful we have our sisters to help us through these unprecedented times. We are so excited for the day when things begin to return to normal and we can resume chapter events and be all together in person again!

==Highlights of 2021==
 
 
Spring semester of 2021 was held virtually within our chapter for meetings, recruitment, initiation, and all other special events held. Although it was all new to every chapter member and we missed seeing our sisters in- person,
 
everyone handled it incredibly and Beta Omicron showed resilience. In the 2021 fall semester, we
 
returned to seeing our sisters in person, while wearing a mask and following New Orleans city
 
guidelines, for chapter meetings and events. It was a transition period for our new member class,
 
going from all virtual to back in the house. Melody Li, member class of 2020, was awarded the Kappa
 
Kappa Gamma Foundation Scholarship for the academic year of 2021-2022.
 
 
This year in the fall semester of 2021, Kappa Kappa Gamma Beta Omicron partnered with Sigma Alpha Epsilon to support and raise money for the New Orleans organization Son of Saint’s Hurricane Ida relief, following the devastating hurricane
 
that hit our city. This was done through the even Krewe du KKG x SAE, we sold snow cones, grilled
 
hotdogs, and sold raffle tickets that all benefited Son of a Saint. It was attended by those in
 
both our Tulane and New Orleans community, and the found and CEO of Son of a Saint. We raised over
 
$3,300 to support Hurricane Ida relief. In addition to our event, our chapter came together to
 
collect and donate basic goods for those in our New Orleans community who did not have access to
 
them after Hurricane Ida.
 
 
How did the chapter support Kappa’s philanthropy? In support of Kappa’s national philanthropy,
 
NAMI, Beta Omicron held an event with Sigma Alpha Epsilon called Kappaccinos and SAEvory Snacks. We
 
sold pastries and coffees on campus and raised almost $2,000. It was held in March of 2021 and it
 
encourages the new member class to be able to get involved and learn more about our national
 
philanthropy and promote mental health. All proceeds went towards NAMI New Orleans chapter.
 
 
This year Kappa Kappa Gamma Beta Omicron has been very active in upholding
 
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion through our chapter’s first DEI officer, Catherine Pappas. In
 
light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we held a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion seminar for the entire
 
chapter via Zoom on April 5ᵗʰ, 2021, ran by national’s representative Sudie Pennebaker. Beta
 
Omicron has also been active on promoting our values for diversity, equity, and
 
social medias, including Instagram.
 
This past year, Kappa Kappa Gamma Beta Omicron ran operations virtually during the spring semester to
 
follow COVID-19 guidelines. Recruitment and initiation were both held virtually on zoom. Member
 
class of 2021 contains 73 new members initiated virtually on March 3ʳᵈ , 2021. We returned to
 
in-person operations at the start of the 2021 fall semester, wearing masks to follow New Orleans guidelines.
