− | ==Highlights of 2021==
| |
− |
| |
− | We started off this year with virtual recruitment, leading to the eventual initiation of fifteen new
| |
− | members. Following the process of recruitment, we were able to organize a fun virtual bid night
| |
− | for all of the new members involving trivia and bonding games where new members and active
| |
− | members were able to get to know each other better. We were able to hold a virtual initiation as
| |
− | well and a virtual pinning ceremony. As the year progressed, we were also able to have a
| |
− | couple of philanthropy events, which included donating dog toys to the local animal shelter,
| |
− | signing and then donating books to the local elementary school, and completing individual acts
| |
− | of service in the winter as well as having a fundraising event in the fall where we had games,
| |
− | food, and a dunk tank. We also awarded the Sally Summer Flynn award to a member of the
| |
− | 2021 senior class that the chapter voted on as a whole. As for goals that the chapter had, one
| |
− | main goal was to resume in-person chapter and committee meetings as well as have the
| |
− | opportunity to have an in-person recruitment and initiation process. We have been able to start
| |
− | having in-person chapter and committee meetings and we plan to have an in-person recruitment
| |
− | and initiation process in the spring.
| |
− |
| |
− | Chapter Philanthropy
| |
− | Our philanthropy supports the organization of Mental Health Alliance. We support this
| |
− | organization because we felt it was very applicable and relevant in the everyday life of our
| |
− | members and was most strongly favored when voting on which philanthropy our chapter wanted
| |
− | to support.
| |
− | At the beginning of the fall semester we held a fundraising event to raise money for our
| |
− | organization in which we had food, games, and allowed students on campus to dunk our
| |
− | members in a dunk tank for donations.
| |
− |
| |
− | We included diversity, equity, and inclusion in our chapter programming by having special
| |
− | guests come to talk during programming chapters on topics of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
| |
− | We also held virtual meetings where we watched educational films surrounding diversity, equity,
| |
− | and inclusion and afterward held a discussion to debrief the film.
| |
− |
| |
− | During the pandemic, we held virtual recruitment and initiation over zoom. We did recruitment
| |
− | like usual with bump groups and one-on-one conversation with PNMs using break out rooms.
| |
− | We also had virtual chapter and committee meetings until this fall semester when we resumed
| |
− | in-person meetings. We also had virtual activity nights and general chapter meetings to help
| |
− | reconnect with members not on campus or members not living in the house as social gatherings
| |
− | in the house were not permitted at the time.
