SISTERS ON PURPOSE
T
he career and personal develop-
ment committee has made it our
goal to not only support our sis-
ters in regard to career development, but
personal development, too, as both are
crucial to growing professionally. We held
a discussion after the Vagina Monologues
production on campus to provide a space
for sisters to discuss female identity and
support one another.
A group of us also attended the Women
in the Workforce Conference in April, an
event with various speakers/breakout sessions centered on women empowerment
and navigating the professional sphere. Overall, we are proud of the incredibly
accomplished sisters and are working to further celebrate our achievements by
highlighting a "Professional Gal of the Week" or notifying sisters of opportunities
that might be of interest. We will be hosting several Mu alumnae back at the
house to reconnect with older sisters and get advice on how to transition and set
ourselves up for success post-graduation.

Creating a Culture of Sustainability
A
s director of sustain-
ability at Mu chapter,
I have been working
on creating a culture of sus-
tainability within the chap-
ter house through improving
our facility's waste diver-
sion and educating members
about proper waste and other
climate change efforts. The
committee has promoted sus-
tainable practices and empha-
sized actions individuals can
take to reduce their carbon
footprint. We are working to
motivate members to be con-
scious of their environmental
impact and encourage them to sign environmental action initia-
tives, use reusable mugs, register to vote, and attend Chi O's new
Totally Meatless Tuesdays. We hope to increase the chapter's
awareness of issues on climate change as well as educate them
on how they can be a part of the solution.
