Happy Founders' Day #AXO - 130 years of Real.Strong.Women. #TBT

We enjoyed spending Founders' Day with the Beta Eta collegians! It was a packed dining room. We loved meeting lots of the collegians and welcoming alumnae with their families this year.

Collegiate Chapter Spotlight - @UFAXO Sisterhood Retreat - #WhyAlphaChi

In honor of UF's fantastic career day in November (shout out VP-ID Cassie Bailey) and volunteering to host #MyJourney facilitator training (shout out Savannah Posgai) for Beta Omicron, Gamma Iota, Gamma Chi, Gamma Pi and Theta Sigma, we are showing some fun photos from Gamma Iota's Fall Sisterhood Retreat.

Sisterhood retreats and activities like KROM, KRONM, KROS fall under the office of vice president of membership programming. Savannah P worked hard with her committee to plan a fun-filled, relaxing and interactive day. The day revolved a "Fall Fair" theme with a special sign, games and a "bake off" (with prizes), yummy snacks and lunch and team building.

We love to see our collegiate chapters engaging in events that strengthen the bond, allow time for relaxation and are safe.

Sisters Around #Tallahassee

It was fun to find Beta Omicron (Florida Southern) sister Amanda in our local magazine. Amanda is the proud mom of six lovely children, very active in Tallahassee and another example of Alpha Chi Omega - Real. Strong. Women.

We are featuring her now in honor of Beta Omicron's recruitment beginning this week. Good Luck Beta Omicron sisters! Sending Love and Loyalty from Epsilon Tau Epsilon.

Dedication to Helping Others at TMH

Fancheon Boone is our sister from Beta Omicron (Florida Southern) chapter! Fantastic to read about her altruistic efforts.

Recapping 2011 Alpha Chi Omega State Day: Florida #TBT

One of our beloved collegians Tracy - a rockstar this one! She served on the executive board at Beta Eta, Rho Lambda and numerous other organizations and honor societies at FSU. She went on to receive her J.D. from UF. During her time at UF she served as the New Member Education advisor. Here she speaks on behalf of Alpha Ch Omega Foundation; she received two scholarships from Foundation during her time in school. Tracy radiates our five membership criteria!

We always make time to purchase stars at the Star Booth to honor our sisters and assist Foundation!

Look at this fine group of Beta Eta alumnae and collegians! We appreciate all they give to Alpha Chi Omega and our lifelong Bond of sisterhood.

We like to highlight our sisters when we seem them "in print". Hope you had a fun weekend Wendy H! Wendy was the manager for Ten Thousand Villages in Tallahassee, is a psychologist, and has a Sigma Kappa daughter:  Panhellenic love!

State Day in Florida 2013

Remember our previous post where we described State Day?

The Beta Eta collegians and Epsilon Tau Epsilon alumnae enjoyed a fun and productive day at Stetson hosted by our Gamma Chi chapter. The morning was spent learning about our Strengths and how we can focus on those to make ourselves more productive executive board members, chapter members and Alpha Chi Omega citizens. After a yummy lunch, we broke out to learn about utilizing social media, MyJourney, MissRepresentation, financial accountability and more. It was a fun day of meeting new sisters and honing our personal best to become Real. Strong. Women.
