==Highlights of 2021==
Beta Mu has had a great year and transition from a year of online events to in-person events. Early this spring we held several virtual sisterhoods, a socially distant philanthropy (with masks too). We also were able to hold a senior recognition event in-person which was so exciting! We held an in-person recruitment and provided a virtual option as well. Recruitment went extremely well, and we are so excited to have PC 21 in our sisterhood. We had several teams of Kappa’s participate in other Greek houses philanthropy events and won in the volleyball tournament for Kappa Sigma. We held Initiation at the end of October and had a wonderful Inspiration period filled with a study night, craft night and a night at the movie theater. We had a great Dad’s weekend in November and had a tailgate BBQ. Then we had our fall philanthropy, Kappa Concert. Lastly, we just finished voting on the slate and are so excited to swear them in next chapter.
We supported the Colorado ProfessionalFirefighter Association as our philanthropy because one of our sisters was extremely affected by a California
wildfire. Ella Berglund, our RISK chair, lost her home during her junior year of high school due to the Sonoma County wildfires in California. In order to support this organization, we held a Kappa Carnival with games, food, and donations!
This fall we supported Kappa’s philanthropy by hosting Kappa Concert. We had a DJ who attended the University of Colorado Boulder perform and we held the concert in our parking
lot! We raised about $6,000 and had so much fun supporting our philanthropy!
In the first year of implementing a DEI chair at beta mu our chapter created and executed more Diversity training than ever before, more conversations about equity than in years past and has overall created a more inclusive kappa community. Over the past year Abby developed ideas ranging from education theme of the month where resources would be sent out each month to promote awareness and learning round a certain educational topic. Moreover, during our fall semester, she brought in a former Beta Mu to talk at chapter about how to fit DEI in at Kappa which really resonated with the chapter. Besides those initiatives strides have been made to create an open environment where people have felt comfortable approaching our DEI chair about changes to make.
Because our school requires vaccinations, we had a little bit of an easier time with COVID-19 this semester than we did last semester. Our recruitment was held in person with masks, and we held virtual party options as well. For Initiation we held three ceremonies to split up the pledge class into smaller groups and have less full capacity. We have made sure to take precautions of wearing masks when people were uncomfortable or feeling sick. We have also held virtual chapters when members felt sick.
