	A huge change that we had to adjust to was deferred recruitment. I order to switch from fall to spring, we had a formal recruitment in the fall for sophomores and ware gearing up for another one in January for freshman. This created a lot of extra work and innovation for our chapter as we had to make many adjustments to our schedule, housing, and budget. Additionally, changes were made to the housing board staff, we gained 10 new members in the fall, and we integrated the GYN system into our chapter to track study hours and maintain an accessible calendar.

		+
		+	chapter has also focused a lot on enhancing our leadership skills. In order to improve on this, one
		+
		+	of our upcoming Chapter Council members volunteered to participate in a Greek leadership
		+
		+	academy, which taught Greek members how to be a supportive member, a strong leader, and
		+
		+	handle conflict.
		+
		+
		+	This year, our chapter really focused on trying to become more involved both in our Greek
		+
		+	comminuty and on our campus with other non-greek organizations. One way we showed a great
		+
		+	deal of support for greek life was by participating in the University of Pittsburgh's annual Pitt
		+
		+	Dance Marathon. There, we had seventeen of our sisters raised over one hundred dollars each for
		+
		+	Children's Miracle Network by either participating as a dancer (participants who stood and danced
		+
		+	for the full sixteen hours) or dreamers (participants who remained active for eight hours). Through
		+
		+	this, our sisters spent the day dancing and raising money with other greek organizations in order to
		+
		+	raise money for the kids. Gamma Epsilon also wanted to support other clubs outside of the greek
		+
		+	community, and one way we achieved this goal was by supporting one of Pitts improvisation clubs,
		+
		+	Rukus. We collaborated with Rukus in order to support the arts and raise money for the club by
		+
		+	sending almost half of our chapter to watch one of their performances and provide them with
		+
		+	monetary contributions, part of which they donated to us to help support our philanthropy.
		+
		+	'''Chapter Philanthropy'''
		+
		+	This year, Gamma Epsilon had many philanthropic accomplishments. At this years dog days
		+
		+	fundraiser, we were able to raise a record breaking amount for our chapter of approximately $600.
		+
		+	We also had almost every sister make a dish or a treat to donate to our lunch-box auction, at which
		+	we were able to raise close to $400 for Reading is Fundamental. Not only did we have great success
		+	through our philanthropy events, we also raised and donated money to Sigma Chi's Derby Day philanthropy event, which raises funds for research at the Huntsman Cancer Institute, and we came in second place for the event.
