NEW MEMEBERS!
NEW MEMBERS MEANS NEW PARENTS
This semester Alpha Chi Omega has had the extreme pleasure to welcome home so many amazing new members to the Pi chapter at UC Berkeley. On the day when our new members received their bid (their invitation to join Alpha Chi Omega) the whole house of women went to Sky High and enjoyed a fun night of jumping around on trampolines and bonding!
Welcome new parents! Congratulations on your daughter joining Alpha Chi Omega! Not only is your daughter part of an awesome organization of women, you’ll get to meet so many amazing people as well. Next month Alpha Chi Omega is hosting Family weekend, October 10-12, where we will be hosting a lot of fun events for you and your daughters in the Berkeley area. This will include a Cal football game bar-b-q in the backyard. Please save the date! Here is a crash course of Alpha Chi Omega: Nicknames: A-Chi-O, Alpha Chi; Chi rhymes with shy House Symbols: Golden Lyre; a musical instrument, the carnation flower Alpha Chi Colors: Scarlet Red and Olive Green Motto: Together let us seek the heights Chapter: Pi Chapter; since Alpha Chi Omega is a national organization, there are different houses (chapters) established around the nation. The Greek letters in “_ Chapter” note the order in which the chapter was established. History: Founded on Oct. 15, 1885 at DePauw University in Indiana. Who am I? My name is Kaycee Antosiak and I am a second-year. I intended to major in Economics and minor in Statistics.
So far, the new members have participated in the first part of their initiation which was a pinning ceremony. Later this semester there will be a Presents ceremony during Homecoming/Family weekend where guests can meet us and see why we love the new members so much! November is when the final part of initiation occurs.
Alpha Chi-aking We went kayaking at Lake Chabot earlier this month! So many people wanted to go and it was a lot of fun.
We are seeking those heights Marlena Trafas, a second –year student and Alpha Chi, said “it was a great way to get to know the new members and observe the wildlife.” Later this month we will be going on another sisterhood event. This time, to the Treasure Island flea market! We are all very excited for the beginning of a great new year with a great new set of faces.
