Kickin' It with Alpha Chi Raises Money for Domestic Violence Awareness

Each semester, the Delta Pi chapter hosts a philanthropy event to help raise funds and support for our national and local philanthropies, the Alpha Chi Omega Foundation, YWCA and Knoxville Family Justice Center.  This October, in coordination with Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we hosted our Second Annual Kickin' It with Alpha Chi kickball tournament encouraging the University of Tennessee community to come out in support of a cause near and dear to our hearts. Our sisters coached teams to victory and cheered after every home run. We enjoyed every minute getting to know other campus organizations and were moved by the support we received. We raised over $1,500 for our philanthropy and are excited to present the money to our local philanthropies. A special thanks to all the teams who played and to our VP of Philanthropy, Polly Ann, for organizing the event.

As always,

Go Vols & Go Alpha Chi

Recruitment Time in Tennessee

Recruitment has come and gone at the University of Tennessee, and the sisters of Alpha Chi Omega could not be more thrilled with our new member class! Every year, recruitment brings excitement to our chapter as we meet wonderful young women who potentially will wear our letters. This year proved no different as we met over 1000 women, which has been the largest formal recruitment in UT history! Our Recruitment Team, led by Sydney Sherrod, worked tirelessly the entire week to ensure every round was perfect. With their guidance we were prepared, confident and excited to meet our future sisters.

Each round was beautifully designed by our Day Chairs – and their commitment to perfection was definitely noted by the women going through recruitment and our sisters who loved taking pictures in our chapter room before each round…

Though everyday was exciting, Bid Day held the most excitement. Alpha Chi was decorated in all things paradise and we all truly thought we were on the beach. (Okay, most of us probably were wishing that.) Welcoming our new members was such a rewarding moment because we knew all our hard work paid off, and we are thrilled to see each grow as members of Delta Pi. Bid Day also brought our Gamma Chis home! We missed all of them so much and are so proud of their dedication to the Panhellenic community.

Alpha Chi is definitely looking forward to the year ahead and cannot wait for what is to come!

As always,

Go Vols & Go Alpha Chi

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!
