→Highlights of 2020
This year has been nothing short of bizarre and unprecedented, while Kappas everywhere struggled, here are a few things we did to try and stay relevant and a strong sisterhood. This spring we held a Valentine's Day party with UT Future and Best Buddies, a sisterhood bowling event with BYX, and a sisterhood craft night where made scrapbook pages to put together. After we got sent home in March because of COVID-19, we begin Kappa pen pals, and we continued Lady Minerva through our Facebook page. We had a few Zoom calls where we just caught up and talked about things that were going on. Some friend groups had Zoom formals where they dressed up and got on a Zoom call. During the summer months we had a scrapbook that got sent around to different sisters where they added pages of things they had been up to. This fall had sisterhood events such as picnic in circle park, at main event (an adult arcade), and movie night outside. All of these were conducted following guidelines such as wearing masks and keeping our distance. All in person events were held outside and planned so that there would be shifts or limits on who all could attend. We also incorporated a fun way to attend virtual meetings, with some fun themes. Before the outbreak of COVID-19 we had a fun themed meeting at the beginning of each month such as a pajama meeting and jersey meeting. It was a way to boost chapter morale both before and after things went virtual. Things such as recruitment and the new member process were conducted differently with recruitment being entirely virtual. We started Zoom lunches this semester as well where we had girls get on Zoom during the middle of the day and just eat and chat about random things. In January we initiated a holdover initiate from the 2019 pledge class and this fall Initiation was held virtually over Zoom where we initiated 92 girls in two separate calls on October 31st. Big/little reveal was done differently with everyone spread out over campus and those who were virtual over Zoom.
