big little reveal 2014

one of the most exciting things for new members (and all members really) is getting a "big." since bid day in august, our sophomore pledge class has taken their "buddies" out on outings to get to know them better, in hopes that they may become future big-little pairs. last weekend, the delta pi chapter had big little reveal. after a week of secret gifts from their bigs, the new members get dressed in themed costumes that will match their future bigs, who are hiding around the house waiting to be united with their new littles! big little reveal is fun for all pledge classes in the chapter - bigs become grand-bigs, grand-bigs become great-grand-bigs and families grow and grow. family dinners are planned and new littles are showered with all things alpha chi, with gifts ranging from t-shirts to hand-painted canvases and treats! it is always one of the most anticipated events of the semester and this year was more fun than ever! 

go vols and go alpha chi! 

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.

color me alpha chi

this past sunday was our annual sisterhood retreat! in the past, we have square-danced, salsa-danced and other such things but this year, our VP of membership programming, miss ashley aycock, decided to plan something more colorful. the chapter members (both new and old) came together  for an afternoon of field games from water balloon toss to relays, all with a colorful catch involved. each girl wore a plain white shirt with our letters taped on it and throughout the games, paint was splattered and sprayed, thrown and smeared onto their white shirt. after the grand finale paint war, members removed the taped letters to reveal AXO in white on their colorful shirts. the event as a whole was a success and each member left much more colorful than when they came!

each and every member of our chapter brings a different "color" to alpha chi. add color your life with alpha chi, add color your life with sisterhood.
