==Highlights of 2020==
This year our entire world was flipped upside down. Starting in March, our school and chapter eventswent completely virtual. We held chapters on Zoom from March until December. We held a completelyvirtual recruitment and gained a new member class of 105 women. Bid day was held over Zoom and sowas Big/Little Reveal. We wore masks around the house and almost every room in the house wasrearranged to allow for more social distancing. For the first time in a long time, the house was not filledto capacity with live-in members. Sleeping porch rooms were rearranged to allow for less womensleeping in the same space and were converted to two person rooms. House Board worked tirelessly toallow us to safely return to our chapter house in the fall semester. Dividers were put in between sinks inshared bathrooms to allow for physical distancing. Plexiglass was also installed in some sleeping roomsbetween bunk beds. Initiation was held completely virtual as well as all Inspiration Week activities. Theinitiation ceremony was a 35 minute condensed version of normal initiation. Alumni were invited tojoin the Zoom to welcome our legacy members. All 105 new members that we started with wereinitiated over Zoom. Our chapter also raised money for one of our housekeepers, Rosa, as her fatherpassed away from Covid-19 in November. We were able to donate $2,335 to go towards his funeralcosts. Even in a pandemic, we found a way to support one another.
