The Summer of 2015 is bringing about the most major renovation to the House since Theta moved in almost 40 years ago. The past ten years have seen work every summer: air conditioning in the entire house (before 2005, there was no AC in the house including the bedrooms!), repairing and upgrading the bathrooms, painting the entire house inside and out, refinishing […]
When I think back on my four years at UVA, I can’t help but wonder where the time went. It seems like just yesterday that my parents were dropping me off at my first year dorm. But then again, upon reflection, that version of myself seems quite distant. That’s the thing about time—it moves slowly […]

The scholarship seeks to honor Yeardley’s […]

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 […]
