Changes

Before COVID happened, we were able to host our academic banquet celebrating the chapter's academic achievements. We also had a formal in which all of our sisters had a great time. Once COVID happened, we switched to virtual events. Some of our virtual events included workout classes, watching Netflix or movies together. New Member baking retreat, big/little reveal, study hours on zoom, and kept up our tradition of having initiation sleepover but on Zoom instead. During convention, we were awarded the Ritual Award and had Honorable Mention for the categories of Risk Management and Recruitment. In the fall, we held our first ever virtual recruitment and were extremely successful! We had 47 new members and all of them were initiated in a virtual ceremony on November 14th with the prince of some Kappa family members. We held Chapter and Chapter Council weekly on Zoom as well. For Founders Day, we celebrated our 150th anniversary with a presentation, fun Kahoot, and which founder are you quiz. We also still had an academic excellence banquet to celebrate this last semester's academic achievements and gift cards were awarded. For RIF in the fall, we held a virtual 5K to encourage people to get active and also raise money on social media. Overall , our goal was to keep members engaged in the chapter and foster a community of support and I think we were successful in this.
