Chapter of the Week - Alpha Chi Omega at Oregon State University

Introducing my first chapter of the week! Yay!!

This week's chapter of the week is the Chi Chapter of Alpha Chi Omega at Oregon State. 

Alpha Chi Omega was installed at Oregon State University in 1915. With 120 members, the Chi chapter is thriving. In the words of the chapter, "We may be a smaller chapter compared to a lot but I think that makes our sisterhood a lot stronger than most. Our house makes an effort to be at events that support not just other houses on campus but also to show support for non Greek events." 

Here are some personal testimonies from members of Alpha Chi Omega:

Lexi Bisbing, freshman 

"My chapter stood out to me during recruitment because the girls seemed the most similar to me. AXO is where knew I would feel most at home and I knew I wanted to spend my college years in that house."

Dhruti Patel, sophomore

 "What makes me most proud of my chapter, is that we don't have a stereotype. We are all extremely diverse yet we all still love and support each other. There isn't anyone I can't turn to in this house that wouldn't be there for me, in good times and bad."

Alli Cahill, junior

"My favorite memory of my chapter would have to be move-in day. After long summer away from the house and all of my sisters, the excitement and enthusiasm that comes with moving in is just so thrilling. That moment when you step back into your chapter house, you know you are home. Then, once everyone begins to arrive, cars being unloaded, the high-energy that everyone brings with them is something I will never forget. Only sorority girls can imagine the rush of emotions you feel when you and all your sisters are back together under one roof.  When I graduate I can only predict how hard it will be to live without my fellow sisters."

Taylor Nantz, senior

"Being a part of Alpha Chi Omega has changed me as an overall person. Through Alpha Chi Omega I have made the best friends and memories. My chapter has supported me through good times and bad and has also allowed me to be active in the Corvallis community and the chapter."

As you can see, the women of AXO at Oregon State have a great sisterhood and love one another dearly, which is why I picked them as my chapter of the week!

Chapter of the Week

Hey y'all! It's been a while, I know, but one of my resolutions this year was to get back into using this blog. So, I decided it was time to make things interesting.

A lot of you have expressed interest in getting to know girls in other chapters from around the country. This is why I have tried to do so many contests, follow trains, etc. when I was asked to because I love when I see all y'all meet one another! It makes me so happy.

Going off of this, I thought of a new part of my blog that will be able to highlight different chapters from across the country, and even the world (Canada has sororities too!).

Each week, I will feature a new chapter, going over what their involvement is on campus, what their members are like, and what they do for philanthropy, among many other things. This way, you can get a glimpse into other chapters of your own house, as well as others, to get ideas or to make connections.

The link to apply to be featured as a Chapter of the Week is here!!!!!! Please, save me some headaches and do not spam it with multiple submissions about one chapter. It will not make your chapter any more likely to be selected.

I am so excited to see what this will bring all of us!

Do's and Don'ts of Instagram

I love Insta as much as the next sorority girl. It makes me look tan and popular, neither of which I'm complaining about. However, some girls don't understand that they are ruining Instragram for the rest of us. These are the girls that make guys, and even other girls, mock and stereotype us all.

If you or one of your friends is one of these girls, keep reading. Y'all need help.
If not, keep reading anyways, because it's fun to see how desperate some people are.

Here are the top 3 most misused Instas.

Things I'm Loving - Back to School

I don't know about you lovelies, but I am headed back to the greatest place in the world in less than 2 weeks. Crazy, right? Before I make my return and grace that college town with my presence once again, there's some shopping to do.

I've dragged my momma to countless stores and malls, and sent her even more emails of things that I want. Through all that research, I've compiled a list of what you need to bring back with you to run your college town.

Why Go Greek?

This one is for all y'all who are entering college and are curious about Greek life, or those who are returning to school but wanting a new and unique experience.

I have had multiple young women, as well as one young man, emailing me recently about joining Greek life. As one of them put it, "I'd like to know why you're so obsessed with Greek life and if it's worth joining." Yes, I may be obsessed, but for a good reason. Greek life is everything I could have asked for and more.

How I'm Slowly But Surely Becoming My Mother

As I was laying on my couch today stuffing my face with chocolate (it's a Sunday, I can do that), I was watching HGTV and really getting into it. I genuinely felt like I cared about the couple that was faced with a decision, love their old home, or list it and get a new one for their growing family. The show's called Love It or List It, cleverly enough. My mom called me and I told her eagerly that our favorite show was on, and as soon as the words came out of my mouth, it hit me.

What everyone said would eventually happen is true.

I am turning into my momma herself.
