Phi Chi Recruitment Workshop

We had a great time today helping Phi Chi Chapter at The University of Chicago at their recruitment workshop.  They are doing a fabulous job preparing for recruitment and definitely exceeding our expectations.  We also loved meeting Jessica and Merritt from Chicago City AC and Danielle from Chicago Northwest AC.  Thank you to all of the alumnae who came to help Phi Chi!

Our September meeting was well attended.  We had 28 members total and 7 new members attend.  It was great to see everyone enjoying themselves and the wonderful food everyone brought to share.  I was surprised to see that I could fit that many people in my house!

If you missed the meeting then I hope you can join us for the October meeting on the 18th.  If you were there then I hope to see you again soon.

2012 Arthritis Foundation Freedom of Movement Gala

Judie and Chris volunteered with some Chicago City AC sisters at the 2012 Arthritis Foundation Freedom of Movement Gala.  They helped set-up, decorate the ballroom, register guests, and organize prizes all while having some fun sisterhood time with Chicago sisters!  It was a fun evening filled with laughter, fancy dresses, and supporting the wonderful Arthritis Foundation.

Iota Chapter Prepares for Recruitment 2012!

Chris had an opportunity to visit Iota Chapter at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign during their Recruitment Work Week in August.  She critiqued their performance, helped make nametags, and brought them supplies they couldn't find in Champaign.  She had a great time getting to know the women of Iota Chapter.  They were very friendly and welcoming and appreciated having an alumna around to help.  We hope they caught a glimpse of how fun and rewarding alumnae status can be!
