 ==Chapter Events & Activities==
-===Recurring Events===
-====Hershey Bar War====
-Starting in 2013, SAAC decided to assist a project of two of their Members, [[Ryan Alexander]] and [[Jillian Alexander]].  Ryan and Jillian are members of the Board of Directors for [https://www.missionofhopepi.com Mission of Hope - Philippines].  The project that they decided to take on was to collect Hershey chocolate bars for the working students providing them with a sweet treat, in addition to the supplies brought by the Mission of Hope team, and often a source of food for the day.  In efforts to collect the most Hershey bars for the cause, they decided to have a friendly competition with the local Collegiate Chapter [[Epsilon Xi]].  The Chapter who collects the most Hershey bars during the allotted time won bragging rights and additional PR via the Mission of Hope - Philippines.  Other Brothers from around the nation are encouraged to participate as well.  Alumni Members may donate bars toward SAAC's total and Collegiate Members may donate bars toward Epsilon Xi's total.
-Totals (Winners of the war are bolded):<br />
-: Total Bars: 596 Epsilon Xi - 251 '''SAAC - 345'''<br />
-: Total Bars: 486 Epsilon Xi - 262 '''SAAC - 224''' Note: Epsilon Xi Chapter would have won this year's war if bars were turned in by the deadline.<br />
-: Total Bars: 917 Epsilon Xi - 392 '''SAAC - 525'''
-: Total Bars: 828 '''Epsilon Xi - 569''' SAAC - 259
 ===Current Year's Events===
-'''January 2016:'''
+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.
-SAAC Members gathered at Ming's restaurant for a meeting and for a service event.  Each Member brought supplies to be sent to former SAAC Member, Kristina Alexander, to donate to St. Jude's Children's Hospital.  Also at this event, Brothers were able to send thank you cards to anyone they wanted to thank as part of January's Centennial activity.
-'''February 2016:'''
-SAAC had a social event by watching the Super Bowl at Ryan and Jillian's house.  Even though most in attendance were non-SAAC Members, all who attended had a lot of fun socializing, eating, and watching the game/commercials.
-'''March 2016:'''
+====Informal Socials====
-March was a scholarship month for SAAC.  Becca, Canaan, and Ryan got together for lunch and watched a civil war re-enactment at the Tipton-Haynes Historical Site.  They learned a lot!
+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.
-'''April 2016:'''
+* February 2021: Hosted by [[Jillian Alexander]], Theme: Chocolate dishes/drinks
-Since so many SAAC Members are animal lovers, the April service event was held at the [http://tailchaser.org/ Washington County Animal Shelter] after lunch and Chapter meeting at Mellow Mushroom.  Brothers had several opportunities to interact with the animals of the shelter.  Most Brothers took to giving loving affection to the dogs, many which were not allowed outside of their cages due to their breed, walking dogs in the outside area, and cleaning some of the doggie messes.  Other Members tended to the cats by emptying litter boxes, brushing the cats, and playing with them in the playrooms.  The last task of the event was bathing two very large dogs in the shelter’s grooming room.  This took several Brothers to get the dogs in the tub, lather them up, rinse them off, and drying them with towels and hair dryers.  It was quite a feat, but it was well worth the dog kisses!
+* March 2021: Hosted by [[Jessica Coleman]], Theme: Hispanic Dish
-'''May 2016:'''
+====Tripod Events====
-SAAC's May social event was a smaller event due to its Members traveling for the holiday weekend.  A few Members gathered at the local movie theater to watch The Jungle Book and share an enormous amount of popcorn (2 buckets and a medium bag).  After the movie, they went to Jack's City Grille for dinner and great fellowship.  Although it was a small turnout, they had a lot of fun for this fellowship event.
+These events are to be determined for 2021.
