Retreat…at the Zoo!
This year’s retreat was on February 17th at
the Zoo. Sisters traveled in groups from
their dorms through the snow and arrived
at the Zoo around 10 am. There were many
exciting activities sisters participated in
during Retreat. We explored the zoo, hung
out in the snow, and even got to pet a
snake! We also discussed our ritual and
how we can improve our chapter and
ourselves in groups, and then presented our
insights to everyone. Before retreat was
over, sisters exchanged collages with an
animal that they thought best described
another sister. Overall, retreat was a great
success! Thanks to Caitlin Mackey ’15, VP
Ritual Appreciation, and the retreat
committee, Monica Isava ’13, Lia
DiGiovanna ’13, Karly McLaughlin ’15,
and Erin Ibarra ’16 for planning an
awesome retreat!
