Chapter Events & Activities
Current Year's Events
Due to the COVID-19 Global Pandemic, SAAC has decided that all of their events will be fully virtual. We will have monthly informal themed socials, an event for each leg of the tripod, and a Chapter Founder's Day event.
Informal Socials
Each informal social will be held via Zoom. Brothers and their guests are encouraged to make and bring an item related to the food/drink theme of the month. We will enjoy this time of fellowship by catching up and discussing everyone's items.
- February 2021: Hosted by Jillian Alexander, Theme: Chocolate dishes/drinks
- March 2021: Hosted by Jessica Coleman, Theme: Hispanic Dish
Tripod Events
These events are to be determined for 2021.
