(Information from chapter history reportsThis has been a crazy year but we have made the most out of it all! When we got sent home because of COVID-19 in the spring, scholarshipBeta Chi still managed to have many virtual sisterhood events like Zoom work out classes and Netflix watch parties. We were finally able to come back to 238 E. Maxwell on August 8th. We hosted virtual spirit week with different types of recruitment workshops. Beta Chi also hosted virtual recruitment which was a huge success. We were able to welcome home 78 new members. Bid day was Kappa Girls tour themed, group honors/awards, traditions, special and everyone had a great time dressing up and welcoming our new member class home! We hosted it in shifts so everyone could join! We have had numerous sisterhood events, changes this semester including pumpkin painting on campus or within chapterthe porch, overall nature of the chaptercoffee tabs at local coffee houses, chapter goalstailgates in Kappa’s parking lot, challenges and how they were overcomeBachelorette night in the student center movie theater.

'''Housing'''
'''Philanthropy'''
Beta Chi supports Reading is Fundamental and the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation.
'''Philanthropy'''This year has been a little different. Due to COVID-19 we have not been able to volunteer at Millcreek Elementary School here in Lexington, KY. However, Beta Chi has done other things to help this school. We chose this school because they have an underserved population of students that do not have access to the books that they need to stay on track with their reading abilities. Being in this schools allows us to see the immediate effect of our fundraising efforts on children so close to our hearts. This year we hosted Kappa Kickball. This event helped Beta Chi raise money to support our local elementary school while staying socially distanced with our sisters. We were able to raise over $5000 to RIF during the fall semester.
'''Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion'''
We have encouraged our sisters to go to other Panhellenic events in our community. Chapter Council has received the letter from Kappa Headquarters about adding a DEI position. We have begun planning on adding this position to our Chapter Council.
'''Convention AwardsSesquicentennial Celebration'''
This year we filmed a video to celebrate Founders Day and posted it on Beta Chi’s facebook page for all alumnae and members to watch. In this video, chapter members shared why Beta Chi is special to them.
