==Highlights of 2020==

This past year, the Beta Theta Chapter had to adapt to new ways during these troubled times. Our year first started with moving rush online. We had a very successful rush, but I know it was difficult for morale to be up at times since so much of it was online. However, our rush chairs did an amazing job and making sure an online rush ran smoothly. This year we had to do Big/Little in shifts in order to practice social distancing. We also had an online initiation. Even though we were not able to a full ceremony, alumni were allowed to be with their daughter/ granddaughter, etc. This was very meaningful because we were allowed to have the pinning ceremony stay true to its roots. This year we had online chapter every Monday. I think this was helpful since people could stay at home and not spend time commuting to chapter. As a junior I know school has ramped up and become more difficult. The 10 minutes it took to drive to and from chapter allowed me more time to study which was helpful. Even though attendance seemed to be up, I think it affected the chapter seeing every sister’s face. I know we all missed each other, but we would stay on after chapter was over and zoom with everyone. It was nice to be able to talk even though it was via computer.

Our Education Chair set up a diversity/inclusive program with a speaker, and a sexual awareness and safety discussion with a

speaker. These events were mandatory to help our chapter understand the role of diversity

and inclusiveness as well as how to handle uncomfortable situations. It is important our members know when to intervene and use their resources.
