Alumnae Panhellenic of Tallahassee 2016 - Scholarship Event! #TBT

It's time again for the Annual Alumnae Panhellenic of Tallahassee Scholarship Luncheon!
Once again, our alumnae sisters are involved in the event with Karen Detrick Ellis as the chair.

In preparation of excitement and thanks to Karen (last year's chair), and Malena Allison (APT president last year) we are doing a "Flashback Friday" to last May when the event was held.

Last year and this year showed us a change of venue:  Fun times at the University Center Club at the FSU Stadium. Make sure to search our blog to see photos from the many years we have supported this event.

Can't wait for this year:  http://www.tallahasseeaph.org/events/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/event/info&reset=1&id=23

Florida State University: Educating Students about Acquaintance Rape

Tallahassee, FL —Alpha Chi Omega Foundation is sponsoring the presentation of Kristin’s Story: A Story of Acquaintance Rape and Depression for the Florida State University campus community. After 16 years and more than 300 presentations, Tthis proactive, co-educational rape education program will be held for the final time on April 14, 2014, at 6:00 p.m. ET in the Turnbull Center, Rroom 208.

Kristin’s Story describes a young woman’s acquaintance rape and subsequent suicide in 1995 as told by her mother, Andrea Cooper. Her moving narrative shares the deeply moving account of her daughter, Kristin Cooper, a Baker University student and member of Alpha Chi Omega Fraternity. “I am sharing this because I hope by telling Kristin's story that other lives will be saved, and other young women will not be victims of acquaintance rape, and that those suffering from depression, for ANY reason, will get help,” says Cooper.

In 1998, Andrea Cooper, a member of Delta Delta Delta Fraternity, decided to share Kristin’s Story with Greek communities across the country. The response was overwhelming and a new rape education program was born. Since it’s inception, Cooper has been sharing Kristin’s Story with young women and men at over 300+ campuses and conferences worldwide. The program seeks to raise awareness and provide resources for acquaintance/date rape education. The program is currently funded by a grant from the Alpha Chi Omega Foundation.

I Spy ... Sisters in the Community

It was a special treat to see Alpha Chi Omega sister Tracy Bell Bane (Delta Upsilon, CO State) and an Alpha Chi Omega's daughter (the daughter is an Alpha Omicron Pi) in our local newspaper, Tallahassee Democrat.

Barbara C's (Gamma Iota, UF) daughter Kerry and Tracy are in the same counseling practice!

We love this event! Epsilon Tau Epsilon always make a good showing and contribute well to the fun afteroon. We are excited to report that the NATIONAL KAPPA DELTA PRESIDENT will speak at the luncheon this year!

Each year the Alumnae Panhellenic of Tallahassee, Inc. sponsors a Valentine Auction and Brunch to raise money for its Scholarship Fund. This worthwhile project provides financial assistance for young women who are active local chapter members of the National Panhellenic Council at Florida State University. At our 2009 event [held at the Alpha Chi Omega - Beta Eta House], we awarded $3000 in scholarships to three deserving women.

Alumnae Panhellenic of Tallahassee, Inc. is a community organization composed of women that share the friendship and good fortune of sorority membership. All of these women are college graduates and are actively involved in the Tallahassee community.

This year, we are pleased to announce that Beth Langford, a Tallahassee resident and the newly installed Kappa Delta National President, will be the guest speaker. Beth is a graduate of Florida State University and has been actively involved in her sorority on a local and National level, as well as involved in the community, for many years.

Donations of merchandise or services to the auction will assist in making the February 6, 2010 occasion especially successful. This event continues to be an excellent advertising opportunity for local businesses. The deadline for donations is Friday, January 29, 2010.

Tickets to the event are $25 per person. For further information, please see our website at http://www.tallahasseeaph.org/, or email amy or jenn.
