Alpha Chi Omega: Socials

A monkey and banana, Mickey & Minnie, SpongeBob and Patrick all in one chapter... No, this is not the start of a joke, but rather, some of the costumes the sisters of Alpha Chi Omega wore this past month at mixers and our date party.

At the start of the month, the brothers of Sigma Phi Epsilon invited us to a “Disney vs. Nickelodeon” themed mixer. In attendance was the entire gang of Bikini Bottom, Disney princesses, a couple villains, the cast of Recess and many more. We always have a ton of fun with the Sig Eps and were thrilled to have our first mixer of 2015 with them!

“Snow never bothered us anyway” should have been the theme for our date party. After being postponed due to an ice storm, the sisters of Alpha Chi braved the six inches of falling snow to attend the rescheduled date party. And it was worth it! Sisters showed up in some of the most creative costumes for our “Pair-adise” date party! Barbie and Ken were there, Pizza and Netflix, Princess Peach and Mario and a lot of other top-notch characters. Gossip Girl’s Blaire and Serena were even in attendance curtsey of our president, Alaina Gregerson and VP of Chapter Relations, Carley Carter.

With such a fun first two months back to school, we can’t wait to see what the rest of the year holds!

As always,

Go Vols & Go Alpha Chi

Sisterhood Event Celebrating MacDowell Month

What says sisterhood more than a competitive scavenger hunt around the Knoxville Museum of Art? Nothing. 

On Sunday, February 1^st, the sisters of Alpha Chi Omega came together to celebrate MacDowell Month and our sisterhood with a scavenger hunt through Knoxville’s local art museum. Given challenges, such as, recreating sculptures, posing in front of a “sitting wall” and finding one of our sister’s Aunt’s paintings everyone had a blast accomplishing the tasks. Planning the entire event was our Vice President of Membership Programming, Austen Nicole Evans. The event gave us the opportunity to bond with our sisters, be a little competitive and reflect on some amazing artwork!

As our chapter continues to celebrate MacDowell Month, we keep this quote in mind,

 “To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it.” – Kurt Vonnegut

Happy MacDowell Month!

Spring Bid Day Was Out of the Park!

This past Monday, the sisters of Delta Pi welcomed into our chapter 15 amazing women! To celebrate the expansion of our chapter, the Vice President of New Member Education, Sarah Lutz, planned a bid day to put Alpha Chi in a league of our own. The theme was baseball- and it was a hit! The chapter room was decorated in red, white and blue with a large banner hanging to welcome the newest members. Our banner committee's tireless efforts really showed - the banner looked perfect and provided a wonderful backdrop for all the pictures taken.  There was dancing, singing and a TON of photo taking to commemorate the event. We are so excited for our newest members to begin their journey with Alpha Chi Omega & we look forward to their Initiation Day!
