The past year has been an extremely eventful one for the Theta chapter. One area\u00a0that the chapter has concentrated on was beautifying the overall appearance of\u00a0the chapter house. In the past academic year members of the undergraduate chapter\u00a0have not only repainted the chapter hall but have recently created a display for the\u00a0numerous awards and records that the chapter accumulated over its almost 150 years\u00a0in existence.<\/p>\n
Another area where the chapter has made a significant improvement is the living\u00a0room. In the past, the room was basically unused space. Every once and a while you\u00a0may catch a brother studying in the room, but more often than not it was vacant and\u00a0dark. Borrowing the idea from a fraternity at Miami University, the chapter decided\u00a0to make the room into a brighter and more sociable place. The chapter finally\u00a0replaced the dark green carpet and replaced it with a new, brighter carpet. It also\u00a0moved the large screen television upstairs and bought a VCR. There has been a total\u00a0transformation within the chapter. Once brothers would eat their meal in the kitchen\u00a0and then go upstairs and hang out in their respective rooms, but now the chapter\u00a0converses after the meal is over \u2014 it has drawn the chapter closer together.<\/p>\n
Three of the undergraduate members of the chapter stayed through the end of\u00a0June to make more improvements to the house. Their main concern was the condition of the second- and third-floor bathrooms, which were dirty and dark. After a\u00a0little elbow grease and some paint, the bathrooms no longer look the same. The\u00a0three men also powerwashed the back patio and the porch. In such a short period of\u00a0time it was hard to accomplish all of the items on the list, but the chapter has made\u00a0major improvements nonetheless.<\/p>\n
Over the upcoming academic year the chapter will continue to make improvements. Some of the areas that the chapter is looking into include professionally\u00a0remodeling the women\u2019s first-floor bathroom, cleaning the attic, replacing the sinks\u00a0in the bathrooms, et al.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
