− | This year our entire world was flipped upside down. Starting in March, our school and chapter events | + | |
− | went completely virtual. We held chapters on Zoom from March until December. We held a completely
| |
− | virtual recruitment and gained a new member class of 105 women. Bid day was held over Zoom and so
| |
− | was Big/Little Reveal. We wore masks around the house and almost every room in the house was
| |
− | rearranged to allow for more social distancing. For the first time in a long time, the house was not filled
| |
− | to capacity with live-in members. Sleeping porch rooms were rearranged to allow for less women
| |
− | sleeping in the same space and were converted to two person rooms. House Board worked tirelessly to
| |
− | allow us to safely return to our chapter house in the fall semester. Dividers were put in between sinks in
| |
− | shared bathrooms to allow for physical distancing. Plexiglass was also installed in some sleeping rooms
| |
− | between bunk beds. Initiation was held completely virtual as well as all Inspiration Week activities. The
| |
− | initiation ceremony was a 35 minute condensed version of normal initiation. Alumni were invited to
| |
− | join the Zoom to welcome our legacy members. All 105 new members that we started with were
| |
− | initiated over Zoom. Our chapter also raised money for one of our housekeepers, Rosa, as her father
| |
− | passed away from Covid-19 in November. We were able to donate $2,335 to go towards his funeral
| |
− | costs. Even in a pandemic, we found a way to support one another.
