Tau Sigma Chi

As the challenge comes to a close, let's remember all the ways we have changed for the better, and the progress we've made in these last few weeks! Great job to all the participants :) 

After taking the time to cut down my social media, I notice I feel better in my everyday life.

This challenge has been so fun to do and to see myself grow and learn how to be better with the environment.
