The 5th annual Run For Yeards 5k was an incredible success! This year included a series of firsts. Leading up to the race, we had an event nearly every day to encourage the chapter’s focus and enthusiasm. Monday, we participated in an Escalation Workshop; we watched a video depicting the reality of relationship violence and […]
I am so grateful to have been able to experience the CEO Leadership Academy. The event was held in Dallas Fort Worth, which oddly got hit by a massive snowstorm that left most of us stranded in airports for 2 days – but who better to be stranded with than your fellow sisters? The programming […]
This year, Parent’s Formal was a highly anticipated event, particularly because it took place in the spring, making it so First Year Thetas were able to participate in festivities for the first time ever. The event usually takes place in the fall, prior to formal sorority recruitment, and therefore is attended only by Fourth, […]

Move-in day has always been one of great joy and chaos, and this year was no exception. We often overlook the near-perfect location of the House for the excitement of moving in with our best friends and sisters.
