| |
− | Hope, October we did a Halloween party for the special education class at Lafayette Upper
| |
− | Elementary, and December we worked with LOU Barksdale Clubhouse Family. Our chapter goals were

− | Feed the Hungry is the local organization Delta Rho supports. They host an event in the Spring that

− | third world countries.
| |
− |
| |
− | We gave $2,500 to the kappa kappa gamma foundation for scholarships and more. Diversity, Equity,
| |
− | and Inclusion
| |
− | How did your chapter include diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEi) initiatives in your programming
| |
− | this year? (e.g., adding a DEi officer, philanthropy events, social media awareness campaign,
| |
− | chapter training, etc.).
| |
− |
| |
− | We added a DEi chair and committee this year. We held two different program nights about
| |
− | diversity and inclusion. We did a focus cause of the month supporting black businesses for Black
| |
− | history month. We also implemented and enforced new DEi policy throughout the chapter with social media monitoring.
| |
− |
| |
− |
| |
− | During work week and recruitment week, everyone inside of the house had to wear a mask at all
| |
− | times. During initiation, the new members were split into three different ceremonies for both
| |
− | fireside and initiation. Active members were also split into groups so not everyone was in the
| |
− | house all at once. For every in person event we held there was an online option available. A risk
| |
− | safety form was also filled out for every event.
