ATΩ is adapting to this new environment with social distancing, stay-at-home directives, and other abrupt changes that have disrupted the normalcy of our everyday lives.

With the shut-down, the members canceled Mom's Weekend, major philanthropic events, and formal—any events that were scheduled this spring. While difficult to keep the brotherhood engaged, the executive officers should be commended for numerous conference calls, e-mails, group chats, and video conferences they have facilitated to connect with each other. Chapter House Update House Director Beverly "Miz B" and Tom Warford are still residing in the Chapter House. Miz B will direct/coordinate the summer deep cleaning and improvement projects with our property management company, CLS Management.

Unfortunately, we were unable to stay together for the conclusion of the 2020 spring semester. However, our brothers have stayed in touch virtually over Zoom calls, Xbox live, group messages, and even online poker games. rough these digital interactions we've been able to keep the same level of camaraderie and brotherhood that we had throughout the school year. It's been great to see how we're able to stick together and look out for one another despite this pandemic splitting us up physically. Whether it's help on an assignment or just needing someone to talk to, I know that my brothers will always have my back.
