− | Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is our local philanthropy and has been since the founding of
| |
− | our chapter in 2019. This philanthropy is most important to our chapter as one of our sisters
| |
− | was diagnosed with lymphoma shortly after founding the chapter. She had to take time off
| |
− | from school for treatment and has been in remission since February 2019. She returned to her
| |
− | studies and graduated in May 2020. Supporting LLS every year is a reminder that our
| |
− | sisterhood goes above and beyond, that we are always here for each other, and are forever
| |
− | bonded. This year, Kappa Kappa Jamma, a live virtual concert to raise money for the
| |
− | Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, was held on April 28, 2021. Sisters were able to attend a
| |
− | live viewing session in the union and tickets were sold for a zoom viewing. Eta Omega raised
| |
− | $3,008 and donated it to LLS!

| |
− | involving 6 Interfraternity Council organizations to raise money for the National Alliance on
| |
− | Mental Illness (NAMI). Organizations competing included Zeta Beta Tau, Tau Alpha Upsilon,
| |
− | Sigma Chi, Delta Sigma Phi, Zeta Psi, and Phi Psi. Organizations that sponsored the event
| |
− | included Theta Tau, Phi Alpha Delta, Alpha Epsilon Pi, Zeta Beta Tau, Sigma Chi, and Delta
| |
− | Sigma Phi. We raised $2,789 for NAMI through sponsorships, donations, and raffles.

| |
− | 2021 was the second year that the Diversity,
| |
− | Equity, and Inclusion officer was a position on Eta Omega’s Chapter Council. This position
| |
− | was made a permanent member of the Standards Committee and holds a DEI related
| |
− | programming each semester. Spring 2021’s programming was about white feminism and Fall
| |
− | 2021’s programming was about harm reduction and drug safety. Our chapter also attended
| |
− | inclusivity recruitment trainings ahead of the next Formal Recruitment.
| |
− |
| |
− | In Spring 2021, most of our chapter activities remained fully virtual. Chapter
| |
− | meetings, programming, and Formal Recruitment were all held on Zoom. During Big Little
| |
− | Week, the Bigs dropped off baskets to our New Member Chairman who coordinated a
| |
− | contactless drop off so Littles could still receive baskets from their Bigs.
