We welcomed five new Sisters during formal recruitment and two more Sisters during the continuous open bidding (COB) process! We also hosted a Sisterhood retreat.

ALPHA LAMBDA

Radford University

We had a successful school supply drive for the local public schools! We have also had success with continuous open bidding (COB) this semester! At the end of October, we had a really cool mindfulness Sisterhood retreat that everyone was super excited about.

BETA XI

Michigan Technological University

We recently had a Sisterhood event at Breakers Beach. We had some awesome training from some of our officers and had a great time roasting marshmallows and hotdogs over the campfire and just spending time with our Sisters.

BETA RHO

Arkansas Tech University

Our Sister, Hannah Lomax, was awarded Arkansan of the Day! She is in the Army National Guard, the Arkansas Tech University Marching Band, joined Alpha Sigma Tau in the fall semester, and competes in the Miss Arkansas pageant circuit! She also has built her own philanthropy: Letters of Hope, where people write letters and send packages to military members!

BETA TAU

University of Massachusetts Lowell

We have spent the semester dedicated to philanthropy! Sisters participated in Walk A Mile in Her Shoes, where participants walk one mile in red high heels to stand against sexual assault, rape, and gender violence, and in the Wags to Whiskers Festival for the Humane Society for Greater Nashua. As part of recruitment, we hosted a philanthropy event where we made blankets for House of Hope, a shelter that helps homeless people find stable housing for themselves and their families.

BETA UPSILON

New Jersey Institute of Technology

In September, Sisters from our chapter woke up extra early to do a park cleanup at Branch Brook Park in Newark, NJ! We were tasked to pick up debris and litter on the neglected east side of the park to create a safer and cleaner environment. We picked up about 12 full trash bags of litter that was scattered in greenery, the river, and pavilion spaces. We're proud to preserve the largest park in Essex County, which is also the United States' first county park!

BETA PHI

PennWest California

During the Fall 2022 semester, the Beta Phi Chapter has been up to a lot! Starting the semester off, our Vice President of Community Relations, Krista McParland, organized a team to walk in the Dress for Success walk. Sisters suited up in their favorite workout gear and raised money for one of our favorite philanthropies!

Once recruitment started, our Vice President of Growth, Lena Wankel, led the way in planning amazing events highlighting our values. She even went on to plan a Breakfast Sandwich fundraiser with our Vice President of Finance, Cosette Bayles, to highlight our philanthropy, Girls Who Code. After a successful few weeks of recruitment events, the chapter welcomed home eight new members.

With recruitment over, that meant Homecoming was right around the corner! Our chapter volunteered to clean up the town of California before and after the Homecoming festivities. A few weeks later, our Vice President of Organizational Development, Rachel Leib, planned an amazing Sisterhood event to Trax Farms. The sisters enjoyed an afternoon full of hayrides, corn mazes, and pumpkin patch fun! To celebrate the holidays, the Sisters of the Beta Phi Chapter wanted to give back to the community and participated in a campus-based food drive competition. The Sisters gathered 300+ non-perishables to help replenish the campus's food pantry, leading to them winning the competition!

Before everyone went home for Thanksgiving break, a group of Sisters attended a local elderly residence to help serve Thanksgiving dinner to the residents. The night was filled with yummy food, dancing, karaoke, and lots of smiles! The Sisters of the Beta Phi Chapter eagerly await the next semester to see all we accomplish.

GAMMA GAMMA

University of West Alabama

The Gamma Gamma Chapter welcomed four new members into our Sisterhood this semester! We're also proud of those who were recognized as leaders and representatives of our campus. Sisters were selected for UWA's Homecoming court and inducted into the Order of Omega, with Meghan Herrington voted as their President! We finished the year by celebrating Founders Day with the Birmingham Alumnae Association and are thankful to have a wonderful relationship with our alumnae!

Our chapter finished fall recruitment and welcomed nine new members home! We also hosted our first philanthropy event of the year, Anchor Slam, a cornhole tournament we hold annually.

Our chapter held our philanthropy event, Anchor Splash, on September 15th, through which we raised over $1,000. It was so nice to see the Seton Hall and Greek community unite to raise money for Girls Who Code. It was a very fun and successful event!

DELTA ETA

Belmont University

For our AΣT week on campus, we had a partnership event with the Nashville Humane Association, who brought a litter of puppies to campus for “Alpha Sigma Paws.” We raised over $900 for Girls Inc. and Nashville Humane (donations were split down the middle). We had our Sisterhood retreat on campus, where we created our blankets together for self-care and had a yoga instructor come in for a beginners' class.

DELTA PHI

New York University

This semester, our chapter finished our first in-person formal recruitment since the fall of 2019. Our Chapter President, Angela Lee, attended the Dress For Success 25th Anniversary Celebration and met some alumnae and Sisters from the Epsilon Iota Chapter at NYIT. In October, a group of Sisters attended the NYC National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) Walk, and our Sisterhood retreat was at Central Park.

EPSILON KAPPA

Trine University

We hosted “Trine Talent,” our local philanthropy event for Women in Transition, an organization that supports women struggling with addiction. We raised $4,900 through the event from selling t-shirts and pins and a silent auction! Some women from the organization were able to attend and thanked us for giving them such a positive memory.

In August, we had a retreat where we reviewed chapter rules, completed a Growth workshop, and participated in Sisterhood activities. In October, we also held a Big/Little reveal and Initiation for our three holdover new members.
