A Look Back, A Look Forward
Beta Tau Adapts to the New Normal
L
ooking back at our last fall newsletter, we
had written that it was a "time of transition"
at Beta Tau, with the addition of three new
members of the board. We had no idea
what kind of transition we would be
facing one year later. Adjusting to
life amidst a global pandemic has
been difficult. The Corporation
Board worked tirelessly last
spring and all summer toward
safely reopening the house this
fall semester. We cannot begin to
track the hours spent on Zoom calls
discussing changes to meal service,
heightened sanitation protocols, contingency
plans, and what a primarily virtual recruitment
would look like. We are thankful that this
virtual recruitment was a success, changes to
our meal service have been well-implemented,
and, most of all, that our sisters feel safe in
their home with the precautions we are taking.
Despite the numerous challenges we have faced
in the last six months, Beta Tau continues to
operate in a fiscally sound manner. We have
maintained our reserve savings account and
continue to cherish and improve this beautiful
house that we call home. We have welcomed
a new board member, Jeanneen Coleman
Watson '86, who has assumed the role of
Treasurer. We are thankful to have such a
dedicated sister managing our finances. We
still welcome all alumnae involvement and are
actively seeking to expand our board. Please
reach out to us via email for more information
about involvement. Please keep an eye on
our social media and email blasts for
details for our Annual Meeting in
the spring.
FOCUS FOR 2021
Now that we have navigated the
waters of virtual recruitment,
re-opened the house amidst
a global pandemic, and are
experiencing student life quite
unlike anything seen before, we cannot
help but look forward to 2021. If the trials
and tribulations of 2020 have shown us
anything, it's that our chapter is made up of
strong, dedicated women who are able to face
whatever challenge is thrown our way. Our
alumnae board members continue to stand in
awe of the maturity and grace displayed by our
collegiate leadership on a daily basis.
JOIN YOUR SISTERS
We are always looking for volunteers to
join our alumnae board. It is a great chance to
give back to all Sigma Kappa gave us and
help keep the Beta Tau legacy strong. The
more members, the more impact we leave
on our chapter. If you are interested, please
contact me.
Remember to check in with one another as
we all adjust to this ever-changing world. Our
sisterhood lasts a lifetime and maintaining our
bond is more important than ever!
