UVA has remained the same throughout the past year. Our chapter is in a period of change because our house is about to be renovated. During this period, our third year girls will be living at a different location on Madison Rd. instead of Rugby Rd. The girls of Epsilon Sigma are very optimistic about this change because they are so excited about the new house. | UVA has remained the same throughout the past year.

− | + | ==Highlights of 2020s:==58 Kappa girls received a 4.0 this semester, and we ranked second out of 15 sororities in GPA. One member became an app launch coordinator for Flaire, another ran a half marathon, and another received the Quentin Alcorn memorial merit scholarship. Kappa members volunteered for organizations such as Pancakes for Parkinson's, the BIG Event at UVA, Greens to Grounds, Alternative Spring Break at UVA, worked at a local church soup kitchen, and gave TED talks this year. Our chapter was affected by COVID-19 in many ways, but most notably we had to conduct a virtual initiation for our members who could not attend initiation, and for our new COBs this fall. New members also did not get to have a "Big Sis" week with their big sisters in the spring which includes socializing and getting to know older members. Finally, we plan to hold our winter recruitment online. Our chapters also in a period of change because our house is being completely renovated.

''Philanthropy:' Our chapter supports Reading is Fundamental. As fortunate students , our chapter feels that we should give books back to the community because they are tools that allowed us to get to where we are at the University of Virginia. Our book drive and fundraisers "Breakfast for Books" and "Kappasta" are events that we are allowed to host be because of our upbringing centered on education. We are so lucky to be learning at UVA and hope that our contributions to RIF can aid the larger effort to promote education among underprivileged children. | ''Philanthropy:' Our chapter supports Reading is Fundamental.
