Our chapter was able to conduct major events, such as initiation and recruitment, before COVID-19. Nevertheless, the pandemic impacted our chapter’s experience tremendously. Without being able to meet in person, chapters looked a lot different. Women in our chapter took to planning events virtually (we will be conducting virtual recruitment early next semester). While we were virtual, Psi Deuteron was still able to conduct some of our typical events. For instance, we held virtual fundraisers on social media for our philanthropy. Most importantly, the women of our chapter were still connected, even though we were physically separated.
'''Housing:''' The two main philanthropic organizations that our chapter supports is the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation and Reading is Fundamental. Our chapter chose these organizations because, like other Kappa chapters, we are encouraged to donate to them. Since the values of these organizations strongly align with the values of our chapter, we have continued to be inspired to volunteer with other organizations, including but not limited to the Caroline Elementary school in our local community.
In response to the events of summer 2020, our chapter examined our diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. While we took small-scale measures to address issues of equity, such as posting on social media, our chapter wanted to implement more long term, meaningful changes. Through formal and informal conversations, our chapter emphasized the importance of being an inclusive chapter. We even brought the wider Cornell community into our conversations to see what we could do better. While these conversations were difficult to have, they serve as a small step in the right direction. We will continue to have these discussions, and in the coming years, they will mobilize into more direct action. Our chapter is looking forward to trainings and other events that will make us more conscientious members of our community.
