“Legally Pink” was the theme of the Mu Iota Chapter’s 2023 Skee-Week activities, held April 3rd through April 7th If you are a fan of a popular movie with a similar title, you will relate to the five-day “Kourt Proceedings” that follow.
Monday, 4/3 “I Don’t Need Backups, I’m Going to Harvard”: AKA’s Read to the Youth. Tuesday, 4/4 “Bend and Snap” Into Sisterhood: Women’s Conversation Wednesday, 4/5 “I Object!”: Reliving Trauma Through Social Media Thursday, 4/6 “What, Like It’s Hard?” Budgeting With the AKAs.
Friday, 4/7 “Go Pink and Clean”: Mission Beach Clean-up. The Sorors kicked off the week on Monday morning with the First Grade read-aloud sessions at Johnson Elementary School. EXO Soror, Michelle Bryant, an instructor there, coordinated the activities in the two classrooms for Sorors Jaylene Potter, Sydney Schauble, and Ezinne Ndigwe While Soror Ezinne brought the stories alive to the whole class, Sorors Sydney and Jaylene conducted small group reading stations. It was a rewarding experience for the young students as well as the sorors.
Tuesday’s activity was a much more serious matter held in the SDSU Pride Center. Following the introductions and refreshments, Soror Jaylene Potter facilitated the “Bend and Snap” Women’s Conversation that focused on the personal stressors of college women and how they are managed Her PowerPoint slide deck kept the attendees focused and on the schedule. This was an immensely powerful, emotional conversation that suggested a need for more talks of this nature. The participants expressed gratitude for the chance to share their concerns with their peers and to learn that their experiences were not unique
“I Object!”: Reliving Trauma Through Social Media was the only activity hosted virtually This discussion was facilitated by Soror Jaylene Potter who had a way of encouraging the participants to share social media issues that have been debilitating at times On the other side was the feedback they contributed to each other, again highlighting the need for subsequent talks on this topic and general emotional support for the students
