something he's wanted to do. He was out of work over the
summer, so he was able to get outside and go kayaking along
with even going fishing a few times.

OUR PLANS FOR THE FALL

With Clarion University having moved to all online classes this semester,
many students including a few of our brothers have stayed home for the
fall. Because of this our chapter has taken an alternative approach to
recruitment this semester, hosting all of our events over Zoom and Discord.

"You have to be honest, have integrity, be able

to cooperate and get along with
other people. Sigma Chi is a great place to learn
that and that's why it's a great
thing to join this fraternity."

The Chapter's recruitment events so far include Jackbox party pack games,
Kahoot, Town of Salem, Zoom music sessions, Pizza Parties, and
informational sessions. While some people would consider our current
circumstances very problematic, our chapter sees them as a chance to try
something new and embrace creative ideas! So far the turn out for our
recruitment events has been pretty good! We're all staying optimistic and
hopeful for the future of the Theta Alpha Chapter!
