		+	Chapter Summary
		+	The Eta Tau Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma at Georgetown University welcomed 4 new members in the Spring of 2021 and 52 new members in Fall of 2021. They were all successfully initiated and have already contributed so much to our chapter. We held two successful signature philanthropy events (one raffle each semester) to raise money for Active Minds. We wanted to make sure that the transition from online to in person events between the Spring and the Fall went smoothly, and overall we were happy with the chapter’s excitement to return to in person events. By the end of the Fall, we were functioning almost exactly like we were pre-pandemic (although we had masks at most indoor events and occasional Zoom options).
		+
		+
		+	Chapter Philanthropy We have supported many of the Georgetown campus community service initiatives by volunteering our own time for them, and we have raised money for a local organization called Martha’s Table. Gentrification-driven displacement and food deserts are a pressing issue in DC, and Martha’s Table is working to alleviate food insecurity in our city, which is why we feel strongly about their mission.
		+	We held two raffles (one each semester) where we asked local businesses for donations and then sold raffle tickets for a chance to win these donated prizes. Chapter members buy tickets themselves and reach out to friends, family, campus organizations, and their social media community to sell tickets to the event. All profits go to Active Minds (we voted as a chapter to support Active Minds specifically).
		+
		+
		+	Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion We added a DEI chair for the 2021 Chapter Council and have begun incorporating DEI education into our chapter programming.
		+
		+
		+	Operating in a Pandemic
		+	In the Spring of 2021, Georgetown was completely virtual so we had all chapter meetings and sisterhood events virtually. In the Fall, we transitioned to in person chapter meetings and hybrid sisterhood events (at the beginning). By the end of the Fall of 2021, every event was happening in person with Covid modifications like capacity limits or masks.

−	~~Chapter Summary~~
−	In the past year our chapter has done some great things even with the restrictions of the pandemic placed upon us. Academically speaking our chapter has done a tremendous job bringing up our chapter wide GPA and rank. This fall semester we were ranked 5 of 6 of all the sororities in average GPA. This past winter semester, we placed 2 of 6 with an average GPA of 3.659. We currently have 6 open Merit-Based scholarships. Operationally speaking, we have held some awesome fundraiser events that our DEI heads planned and are currently working to plan our yearly tradition philanthropy fundraiser event for the promise committee at our school which works to prevent drinking and driving on campus. Aside from this, we hope to hold a fun run philanthropy event in the fall. We had a solid rush year and received 4-5 quota additions taking in 30 new members. Following a solid recruitment, we held our ritual and initiation for all new members to be inducted into the chapter. We have an exciting senior kickball event coming up that is being held through our panhellenic council. This event is a fundraiser to donate to a Gofundme for a member on our campus who recently became paralyzed due to a serious accident. One of our chapter wide goals this year is to increase our DEI efforts and work to get some new and fun philanthropy and sisterhood events in!
−
−
−	~~Chapter Philanthropy~~
−	Our chapter supports the Children’s Literacy Foundation through fundraising events we hold on campus. Additionally, we work with the Rockbridge County and elementary schools to raise money for supplies and school supplies for children. We are planning to do a few events in the fall with organizations in the area that support DEI efforts as well.
−
−	With the recent shift to focus on mental health and well-being advocacy, our chapter has been working to brainstorm some new ideas for events to fundraise for and support some of these organizations. We are hoping to hold events in the fall to support Active Minds, NEDA, Jed Foundation, and Mental Health America. Some current plans we have is to hold a fun run, a “food fuel” event during our finals week, a yoga event and more!
−
−
−	~~Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion~~
−	While it was difficult to operate as a chapter during the pandemic, we have really been working to get back to our normal operations and have been specifically focusing on DEI efforts and philanthropy events. We plan to hold many philanthropy events in the fall since our philanthropy chair is currently abroad. As far as DEI, our chapter makes strong efforts to increase engagement in diversity engagement and inclusion. Our DEI heads lead meetings every week following chapter to talk about a specific weekly topic which helps raise awareness around such topic. We also have done a collaboration with an organization campus to promote racial equity and inclusion. We held a fundraiser to raise money for children’s school supplies that promote all skin colors (crayons, band aids, etc) as well as posters for the classrooms. We are looking to do some other collabs this spring as well as in the fall. Additionally, we have held chapter wide DEI events in the past year where some outside members came to speak to our chapter on various topics.
−
−	~~Operating in a Pandemic~~
−	Operating during the pandemic was a challenge for our chapter. For a long period of time, we were having to do everything virtually (chapter, rush workshop, rush, initiation, sisterhood events). It was most difficult to hold rush virtually due to the technical difficulties we encountered. The inorganic feeling of getting to know someone through a screen made it a challenge for both our members and the PNM’s. While we tried to make it as natural as possible, we felt the experience would have been much better for the PNM’s if it were in person. Chapter and other operations were tough to hold virtually as sometimes it was hard to have effective and solid conversation. However, I think our chapter did a great job trying to make some virtual sisterhood events fun so that we could relax and still get to be together as a chapter.

	Before COVID happened, we were able to host our academic banquet celebrating the chapter's academic achievements. We also had a formal in which all of our sisters had a great time. Once COVID happened, we switched to virtual events. Some of our virtual events included workout classes, watching Netflix or movies together. New Member baking retreat, big/little reveal, study hours on zoom, and kept up our tradition of having initiation sleepover but on Zoom instead. During convention, we were awarded the Ritual Award and had Honorable Mention for the categories of Risk Management and Recruitment. In the fall, we held our first ever virtual recruitment and were extremely successful! We had 47 new members and all of them were initiated in a virtual ceremony on November 14th with the prince of some Kappa family members. We held Chapter and Chapter Council weekly on Zoom as well. For Founders Day, we celebrated our 150th anniversary with a presentation, fun Kahoot, and which founder are you quiz. We also still had an academic excellence banquet to celebrate this last semester's academic achievements and gift cards were awarded. For RIF in the fall, we held a virtual 5K to encourage people to get active and also raise money on social media. Overall , our goal was to keep members engaged in the chapter and foster a community of support and I think we were successful in this.

 In the fall, our chapter celebrated its 5th birthday, and we welcomed 28 new girls in our Eta class. We increased our philanthropy efforts exponentially by volunteering weekly at a bilingual preschool in DC and reading to the students there.
 Despite efforts by the university to suppress Greek life, membership numbers are growing and chapters are gaining public recognition from other on campus groups. The chapter has a high morale at the moment and is excited to welcome back 20+ girls who were studying abroad during the fall semester.
