potential new members for coffee dates to add to our sisterhood during the weekend of January 15th. On Friday, January 22nd, we held a colorful themed bid day where everyone was decked out in blue and pink kappa shirts to welcome the Omicron class. Then, on March 6th, we formally initiated the Omicron class over zoom. During the following weeks,
the new members and actives in Kappa got to go on key sister dates. Some were in person, with COVID guidelines, and some were online. That same week, all of the members of the Eta Rho chapter tuned into zoom and had a virtual exchange with the men of AEPi. On Friday, January 26th, the Omicron class had their big/ little reveal online with virtual initiation the week after on February 6th. With everything online, we still
wanted to host our reading is key events for the children of Hawthorne Elementary School. We joined one of the first grade classrooms over zoom and read to the students in breakout rooms. We donated several books to the students to take home so that they could read with their families.

As Cal Poly SLO opened up to allowing in person classes, we also were allowed to do modified in-person recruitment. So, we kicked off returning to school through spirit week which was a week filled with sisterhood, breakfast burritos, dressing up, painting banners, and preparing for formal recruitment. The first day of spirit week was pajama themed where we all dressed in our comfiest sleepwear and enjoyed breakfast burritos. The second day’s theme was “Lots of Love for Kappa'' where we dressed in our cutest pinks and reds to show how much we love Eta Rho. The third day’s theme was 60s/ Woodstocks where we
