Changes

This year was unlike any other for the Epsilon Epsilon chapter. 2020 started out with a successful recruitment in which we welcomed 36 new members into our chapter. Soon after, however, we had to suddenly change the way we conducted all chapter operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our in-person chapter meetings and sisterhood events were replaced with entirely virtual events. We had a virtual 80s dance-off, virtual game nights, virtual study hours, and even a virtual charcuterie board competition. We successfully held two virtual initiations—one in the spring and a second in the fall, in which we added another seven members to our chapter. While the transition to online operations was challenging, our sisterhood is resilient, and many of us have found support in one another amidst a challenging year. One of our major goals as a chapter was to reevaluate the impact we have as an organization on our members and members of the Emory University community as a whole. We have taken steps and as a chapter to ensure our presence is one that promotes empowerment and not inequality. We proudly achieved 100% voter registration of chapter members to influence change in our state and country, as well. 2020 has been a formative year for Epsilon Epsilon chapter, but we are excited to embrace the new direction our chapter is taking while still holding on to the values that drew us all to join Kappa in the first place.
