they had a car wash and a yard sale to get a head start on fundraising. Another way they are raising money is by selling frozen pizzas. For recuitment, the women held about three events a week for the first two weeks. These inlcuded Yoga, movie nights, a mock meeting, and two informative nights. Their philanthropy endeavors are going great. They have two members sitting on the Habitat for Humanity Chapter at the University. One member is the fundraising chair for the Habitat Chapter. The Chapter is having their annual teeter-totter event with the Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity. This year the money goes to a charity of ALT's choice. They have decided to send half to their Habitat Chapter and the other half to a local charity, the Shelly Marshal fund, which has been set up in the rememberance of a 9/1 I victim. Homecoming is around the corner. The sisters got a head start on practicing their skit and have plans to attend the events throughout the week. On Homecoming day, the alumnae chair has planned a picnic after the parade for everyone. The Chi Chapter is working hard to make this semester a success.

The Alpha Mu Chapter has been extremely busy as the first months of
school got underway. They were slowly trying to rebuild the organization so the women spent most of their time recruiting new members. They are currently the largest sorority on the University's campus and have the highest cumulative grade point average. For their local philanthropy, Options Women's Shelter, the chapter is selling tickets for their annual fish fry and silent auction. More than half of the women attended the annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Little Rock, Arkansas. This race is a statewide event that raises money for breast cancer research. To promote school spirit at the Homecoming game, the women of Alpha Sigma Tau are prepari ng shakers to hand out during their tailgating festivities . This project not only encourages the football team, but it also generates great publicity for the women of Alpha Sigma Tau. The chapter has also had a bowling night that turned out be a huge success. It turned out to be a great recruitment tool. As you can tell , Alpha Mu has been very busy, but they have really bonded on a sisterhood level. The women are all extremely excited about being a part of Alpha Sigma Tau!

When the American Red Cross came to Clarion, the sisters of ALT recruited students on campus to come out, save a life, and donate blood for those in need. The following week, members actually worked the blood drive , which entailed signing people in at the door and walking people from the beds to a chair so they don't faint. Alpha Omicron also
