Did someone say "crazy socks"?!?
Good afternoon Theta Zeta! Happy Tuesday to you all. I hope you all are having a marvelous week. Don't forget that from now on, we will be doing themed chapters!! If you participate in the theme, you will get a point for your house. Next week's theme will be Tie Dye!!
This week in chapter, and in the past couple weeks, we have had visitors running for positions in the student body elections come in to talk to us about their platforms and what they believe in. Voting is going on this week, and it is SUPER important to be an informed voter!! APO does not endorse any specific candidates, so I encourage you all to be informed voters and cast your vote for who you want to represent YOU on the university level!! The link to vote is here, and the deadline to vote is 11:59pm on Thursday 3/28.
This week was also mid-semester evals!! Thank you so much to everyone who filled the evals out and took them seriously. I think I speak for all of exec when I say we really appreciate your constructive feedback. If you did not get a chance to fill out the evals at chapter, you can using this link. The link will be live until Friday night at midnight :) Please evaluate us so we can do the most for you guys!!
Mental Health Minute
This week, we had a non-exec member share a mental health minute! Yay, thank you Loryn!
To help better her mental health, Loryn talked about mindfulness and meditation, with an emphasis on mindfulness. She cleared up some misconceptions about mindfulness and shared how she practices it every day. Some ways to practice being mindful include being present in the moment you are in, planning/reflecting on your day, and checking in with your breathing.
Thank you Loryn for sharing that with the chapter!!
