2020 has been a trying year for Kappa Kappa Gamma, although the Beta Omicron chapter has met COVID-19 with resilience. While the first two months of the year were filled with the usual in person Initiation, Big/Little reveal, and events such as Glo Kappa and My Tie, students were sent home in mid-March as coronavirus emerged as a national and global crisis. As social distancing and quarantining became the norm, we all missed our sisters dearly and were anxiously waiting to return to campus.
'''In the fall, thanks to the leadership of President Jaida Maller, Tulane Kappa handled the transition with responsibility and reason. We adapted to social distancing protocols by canceling all social events, moving chapter online, hosting Sisterhood events such as cooking and exercise classes via Zoom, and having ‘to-go’ lunches every Thursday. Thankfully, we were able to fund raise for our philanthropy, Reading is Fundamental, with a digital Kappa Kollection this year as well. As our Chapter Convention Awards:''', our University, and the world as we know it have all changed immensely in the past year, Beta Omicron has prioritized the safety of the New Orleans community and has aimed for its members to be role-models within the Tulane community in regard to wearing masks and social distancing.
Although we dearly miss pre-COVID days, we are thankful we have our sisters to help us through these unprecedented times. We are so excited for the day when things begin to return to normal and we can resume chapter events and be all together in person again!
==Highlights of 2021==
Spring semester of 2021 was held virtually within our chapter for meetings, recruitment, initiation, and all other special events held. Although it was all new to every chapter member and we missed seeing our sisters in-person, everyone handled it incredibly and Beta Omicron showed resilience. In the 2021 fall semester, we returned to seeing our sisters in person, while wearing a mask and following New Orleans city guidelines, for chapter meetings and events. It was a transition period for our new member class, going from all virtual to back in the house. Melody Li, member class of 2020, was awarded the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation Scholarship for the academic year of 2021-------------2022.
'''Note This year in the fall semester of 2021, Kappa Kappa Gamma Beta Omicron partnered with Sigma Alpha Epsilon to Chapter Registrar:'''support and raise money for the New Orleans organization Son of Saint’s Hurricane Ida relief, following the devastating hurricane that hit our city. This was done through the even Krewe du KKG x SAE, we sold snow cones, grilled hotdogs, and sold raffle tickets that all benefited Son of a Saint. It was attended by those in both our Tulane and New Orleans community, and the found and CEO of Son of a Saint. We raised over $3,300 to support Hurricane Ida relief. In addition to our event, our chapter came together to collect and donate basic goods for those in our New Orleans community who did not have access to them after Hurricane Ida.
