A TERM ISSUE OCTOBER2020
Greetings Brothers and Friends of Beta, This A-term has certainly been a strange one for the Eta Tau chapter and WPI as a whole. Our brothers have faced new challenges both academically and socially on campus, relying on each other for support through uncertain or new times. In an effort to provide brothers with a sense of normalcy and much needed outlets for social interaction, the chapter has been hard at work organizing COVID-safe in-person and virtual events. Our hybrid style chapter meetings have been great ways to bring the entire chapter together during such uncertain times. Furthermore, quad hangouts have been another highlight allowing brothers to get outside, socialize, and play cornhole on our new set. Meanwhile, a virtual retreat and video games like “Among Us” and “Jackbox” have allowed brothers on campus and off the ability to connect as well. While most of the house has remained closed to a majority of the chapter it has been great to have a house for the Eta Tau chapter. The porch, which is open to all brothers, has served as a focal point for some in-person hangouts and events. Furthermore, the house has been able to attend events, like retreat, all together, allowing for more fun and interaction. I’m excited to see what the house will become moving into the future. Despite all the uncertainty, the state of the brotherhood is united, strong, and resilient.
Yours in __kai__, Matthew Karns #117
