Sorority Recruitment at FSU

Sorority Recruitment at FSU will be here before you know it! The dates are Monday, August 16th through Saturday, August 21st. If you can help out at the FSU Alpha Chi Omega House at any time that week, we would love to have your help! We need volunteers during the day to pour and serve water, to help keep the house looking great and to help behind the scenes. We'll also need large groups of alumnae volunteers Friday and Saturday evenings (the 20th and 21st) - no special skills are needed!

If you would like to help, please leave a comment on this post and we'll be in touch with you! Thank you in advance, we appreciate you!

Please also let us know if you need the official Alpha Chi Omega Recruitment Information Form. It can be downloaded from the Alpha Chi Omega National website (here, note you have to log in) or comment below and we'll send you one by email.

A Woman to Watch

Kristen S (Gamma Iota/Beta Eta) was featured in Tallahassee Woman magazine as one of their "Women to Watch"! Well done Kristen: Keep Seeking the Heights.

Did you see our sisters in the Tallahassee Magazine?

We love to spot our sisters around town continuing their involvement with our community. You never know where you might find an Alpha Chi Girl!

...
Youth still held the advantage in the women's competition though, as Anna Busby [Leon '08] edged out Thomasville master Mary Anne Grayson for the win, 21:03 to 21:09. Nearly 500 runners completed the 15 March 2010 run through the streets of Tallahassee's Killearn Estates."
Additionally, Anna won the UF Panhellenic 5K this past spring which benefited Peaceful Paths (the DV shelter in Gainesville).

AXO Convention

Alpha Chi Omega will hold the 56th Biennial National Convention July 9-12th in Washington, D.C. Convention is full of memorable moments, Alpha Chi Omega business, and opportunities to make new friends and visit with sisters from around the country. See the full Convention schedule here.

At Epsilon Tau Epsilon, we're excited that many of our members will be able to participate in this great event. Thank you to Jennifer (Theta Lambda, Clemson) for being our voting delegate. Also attending from Tallahassee: alumnae Amy (Zeta Upsilon, CWRU), Britain (BH, FSU) and Jennifer O. (Iota Psi, Elon)... and collegians from Beta Eta - BH President and voting delegate Liz (of Coral Springs, FL) and VP-Education Vaneese (of St. Petersburg, FL).

We will post photos and a recap here after we all get back home and recover!

Congratulations Norma!

On June 11th, when we celebrated Peggy's 100th birthday, we had the privilege of presenting a 60-year member pin to Norma. Norma is a 1948 initiate of Gamma Epsilon chapter of Alpha Chi Omega at Oklahoma State University, and Peggy's neighbor at Westminster Oaks Retirement Community. Norma served many years as the Recruitment Advisor to OSU's Alpha Chi Omegas.

Congratulations, Norma, and thank you for your service to Alpha Chi Omega!

Happy 100th Birthday Peggy!

A group of us had the honor of attending fellow Alpha Chi Omega Peggy's 100th birthday party yesterday at Westminster Oaks. It was so nice to meet her friends and former co-workers! We learned some fun facts:

• Peggy was a real beauty! She was Miss University of Oklahoma her junior year in college, and still wears a tiara with style and grace.
• She was a pioneer in the career world. She moved to Chicago for her first job, directly after graduating from University of Oklahoma, and later served as personal secretary to four of Florida's State Attorneys General. 
• Peggy credits her longevity to having never driven a car. In Tallahassee, she lived downtown where she could walk to her office at the Capitol every day.
