The chapter also responded to the national Abolish Greek Life movement with honest reflection, DEI programming, and ongoing adjustments to recruitment and chapter culture to ensure inclusivity and belonging, which has allowed us to remain a tight-knit, resilient chapter - balancing challenges with creativity, maintaining philanthropic commitments, and growing stronger in sisterhood, leadership, and pride.
