tennessee traditions homecoming 2014

this past week here at UT was homecoming week, one of the busiest but most fun weeks of the year for alpha chi! the campus wide event was themed "tennessee traditions" this year, with activities and competitions ranging from a 3-on-3 basketball tournament, banner and float competition to a tower of cans competition and a cheerleading competition (appropriately named "smokey's howl"). homecoming is one of tennessee's greatest traditions, allowing different organizations across campus to come together to celebrate what makes tennessee unique. this year, the lovely ladies alpha chi omega and the handsome men of kappa sigma teamed up for the week. after many long nights spent pomping and gluing, many smokey's howl practices and countless cans brought in, alpha chi omega and kappa sigma took third place in homecoming this year! a special shoutout goes to our 2014 homecoming chair, miss carly costello, for making the week as great as it was!

kickin' it with alpha chi omega

philanthropy is at the core of our sisterhood, and each semester, we host at least one event to support the victims of domestic violence, both locally and nationally. last wednesday night, other chapters on campus and even some alpha chis participated in our first annual "kickin' it with alpha chi omega" kickball tournament at the inter-mural fields. all proceeds from the event went to support the knoxville family justice center. scroll through the pictures below and see how our VP of philanthropy, miss sarah missimer, put on a winning event to support our philanthropy!

our philanthropy event raising awareness for domestic violence and supporting the victims of domestic violence could not have come at a better time. in light of recent events, the conversation about the horrific impact of domestic violence has increased significantly and awareness of domestic violence has greatly risen. the white house released a new video, "it's on us," a sexual assault PSA that alpha chi omega as a sorority would like to share and encourage people to take the pledge to help keep men and women safe from sexual assault. visit http://itsonus.org/ for more information.
