Welcome back to school Alpha Chi! Now that recruitment is finished, midterms are ending, and the leaves are changing, it's time to bring back the blog!
I just wanted to take a moment to reflect on how much our chapter grew last year and how bright our future looks. Last year, we had some amazing accomplishments. We won Chapter of the Year, first place in Miss Greek, second place in Greek Week, first place in Pumpkin Smash, and third place in Derby Days. Thanks to Cristina Pellizzon, we tripled the size of Diamond Days and just hosted our very first Nacho Night, making this year the most successful yet in terms of philanthropy. We said goodbye to some loyal seniors, and we've welcomed a diverse and excited new pledge class. We have had more women involved in something outside of Alpha Chi than ever before, and we have Alpha Chis in leadership positions all over campus and in the community. We clocked hundreds of hours of community service, and we've made a positive name for ourselves on campus and throughout Eugene. We've all grown as individuals this past year, but what I think we often fail to recognize is that we've all been growing together. We're never alone in our endeavors. We've supported each other through challenges. We've stayed strong through the hardships. When one of us succeeds, it's a success for all of us. But most importantly, we've grown as a sisterhood, and we've grown as a chapter. We have reinvented ourselves this past year as a united front, as a force to be reckoned with. Our bond is stronger than ever, and our symphony is ringing true throughout our house.
I want us all to be able to recognize what a special thing Alpha Chi Omega is. Alpha Chi means something different to all of us, but at the end of the day we are sisters, and we are in this crazy thing called life together. We deserved that big Chapter of the Year award because we showed the entire Greek community what it means to be a sorority woman and what it means to be a part of a sisterhood. We have an unbelievable foundation to build off of this year. I hope that we can take everything that we learned and accomplished last year and leave a permanent impact on our chapter that will continue to grow and develop when we're long gone.
I am proud to call you all sisters, and I am looking forward to seeing where we can all go together this year.
LITB,
Chrissy
