Are you (tie) DYING to know what happened at Chapter??
Good afternoon Theta Zeta!! I hope you all are well and are enjoying this beautiful and sunny Tuesday afternoon.
General Updates
-First off, I just wanted to remind everyone that chapter will be held in the Strafford Room in the MUB next week!! We are planning to switch it up a little bit, so do not go to Demeritt.
-This week, our Chapter tried out using APO Online to take attendance at chapter. This is a learning curve for all of us, so we thank you for you patience. The app used geolocation to make sure that you are at Demeritt Hall when you check in to give you credit.
*To use the app, first sign up to attend chapter. Then once there, you can go back to the event and click "check in" to get put on the attendance!
*If you have an iPhone and the app doesn't work for you, try going into privacy in the Settings app and turning on location services for the app.
-Also, the theme for next week is APO pride!! Brothers, wear your letters!! PNMs, wear blue and/or gold!! Participating in the theme gets you a point for your house, so I cannot wait to see everyone prideful of our fraternity <33333
-Scroll down to the PR section to vote on the design for apparel this semester!
-UVM will be hosting a 5K run in honor of a brother Nakisha who passed away last semester. We are trying to get a team together to attend and support them, so be on the lookout. The run is on May 4th.
-Congratulations to our section chair Bre Moreau for winning a DSK award at Conclave!!
Mental Health Minute
-Payton Taylor, a PNM this semester, shared with us her mental health minute this week
-Not going outside can take a major toll on your mental health, so it is so important to find other ways to do fun things instead of staying inside
-Try going to the indoor pool, going to the gym, or climbing on a rock wall at the gym or NHH
Relay for Life
-Our Theta Zeta chapter is donating a luminaria to every chapter in our section in memory of John Grossi
-We will be developing a hashtag to use at Relay
