International President Rosemary Ames (Omega) presided over the Fraternity’s first virtual installation, which took place over Zoom with the help of Mu Phi members from Kansas to Florida. Representatives in attendance included SE2 District Director Arietha Lockhart (Beta Gamma), District Director for New Chapters Ann Geiler (Phi Theta), International Executive Board member Julia Scherer (Alpha Kappa), and Collegiate members from Mercer University (Delta Tau) and Oglethorpe University (Eta Eta).

Ten new members were initiated into the Fraternity, followed by the Eta Zeta chapter installation and the installation of the chapter officers, all via Zoom. All participants read their parts with reverence, which made the ritual meaningful for the new members, and each member recited the oath of membership individually.

“The Eta Zeta chapter has been waiting a long time to be installed so it was a joyous time for everyone to see it finally happen,” Ames says. “Eta Zeta will have excellent faculty support, and enthusiasm throughout the school. The new members are anxious to introduce Mu Phi to their fellow students. They are busy students but their commitment to being Mu Phi members is solid. It was my pleasure and honor to conduct the installation of Eta Zeta.”
