Gift Card Donations Requested for Spin the Wheel |

The Silence the Violence committee is looking for donations for our Gift Card Spin the Wheel. This is our most popular activity at STV - last year it sold out in less than 1 hour! We need gift cards valued at $25 (or more!) to your favorite stores, restaurants, or experiences. (Pro tip: If you have a Costco membership, they offer a variety of options for 80% of face value.)
Please contact Amy Bartak ([email protected]) to coordinate pickup through September 15th. THANK YOU for your consideration! |

Do you know an outstanding woman whom you think would make a great Alpha Chi Omega? Women we’ve welcomed through this program have included our friends, family members, coworkers, campus professionals and other women who have made a difference in their communities, in their professions and in the lives of others. Alpha Chi Omega shapes the future through the powerful, transformative and everlasting connections of real, strong women. The National Alumna Initiate Program (NAIP) extends our membership experience to real, strong women in our communities who identify with the mission and values of Alpha Chi and care about our philanthropic initiatives, who did not have the opportunity to join Alpha Chi Omega as a collegiate member. Please let us know if you have a friend, family or neighbor that you think would make a great Alpha Chi Omega.
Contact Bev Nichols at [email protected] for more information.

| | Mu Mu kicked off a new membership year with our annual Welcome Back event, a celebration made even more special as we honored our recent Continuing Excellence award from the Alpha Chi Omega convention in Dallas. This gathering brings both new and returning members together for a relaxed evening of connection and conversation over dinner.
We were delighted to welcome 37 sisters representing more than nine different collegiate and alumna initiate chapters. Our kick-off was hosted at Kim Bartak’s beautiful home, and the Mu Mu Executive Board provided a wonderful dinner for all in attendance.
Thank you to everyone who joined us AND paid your dues for this year. We look forward to seeing you in September at our Silence the Violence fundraiser—an event that continues to make a meaningful impact in our community. |
