'Big Room' of Kappa Alpha Theta
Observations
At around 6:10pm on a Monday night, members of Kappa Alpha Theta pile into the 'Big Room', a large living room, of Theta. The room already feels very lively as the room fills with conversations, smiles, and laughter as more and more girls find a place on either the floor or the couches. However, the room seems more empty than usual due to several people having exams that night.
The time reaches 6:15 as Rachel Booze, our Chief Executive Officer, stands at the from of the room and asks for everyone to quiet down for the meeting to begin. The room quickly diminishes in volume as announcements are given about upcoming events. Names are read from a list so individuals who have announcements all get a chance to share with the house. The list allows the meeting to move along in an organized and timely manner. Service opportunities, philanthropies, and other announcements are mentioned. Katie O'Connor, Executive Assistant, sits at the front of the room with her laptop open as she keeps a record of what was discussed during our meeting. The notes are later posted for people who were unable to attend.
The meeting then nears the end as Rachel asks if there are any other announcements. No others are made as the meeting concluded within thirty minutes.
