ALPHA OMICRON PI ALPHA PI CHAPTER

WINTER 2015 NEWSLETTER

ready stepped up in of intramurals, philan-

thropies, and their schoolwork. We have definitely been granted

a determined and driv-en group of women,

and couldn’t have asked for a better new

member class. So con-gratulations and ALAM to our newly

initiated sisters!

~Paige

On October 24th,

2015, our fall new mem-ber class was initiated

into our sisterhood! Eighty girls were added

to our Alpha Pi chap-ter, and we couldn’t be

more proud of all of the hard work these wom-en have put in for the

past 10 weeks of their new member period!

Their success couldn’t have been possible

without the help of their New Member Ed-ucator, Amanda Dami-

co. Amanda made sure that these women felt

comfortable and had

the tools and support they needed to exceed

the expectation. Amanda stated, “…Being new member educator was

the most rewarding expe-rience I could ever ask

for. You get to shape the future leaders of AOII,

be a role model, and help guide these young wom-en through what will

turn into on the best ex-periences of their lives.”

Our entire chapter is so thrilled to see what this

group of women has in store for FSU and our chapter. They have al-

SISTERS FOR SOLDIERS

On November 4th, we

held our second annual

Sisters for Soldiers

event along with SAMs

Club (Students for

America’s Military).

This event featured an

obstacle course where

we determined which

of these teams were

“Alpha O Strong.” We

were so pleased with

how many FSU and

Greek organizations

came out to support our

event. Of the teams

who competed, Chi

Omega was our sorority

winner, and Tau Kappa

Epsilon was our overall

winner! This event

would not have been

possible without our

amazing philanthropy

chairman, Kayleigh

Koskan.

This fall we participated in Theta Chi’s annual fall phi-

lanthropy Cheers for Children! This philanthropy raises mon-ey and awareness for the Kidz

First Fund created by Jimbo and Candi Fisher. The organi-

zation raises money towards Fanconi Anemia, a rare blood

disease, and all of the proceeds go directly to Kidz First! The women that participated in our

cheerleading routine put in tons of work for over 2

months, and all of their hard work paid off with a third place finish in the competition!

These women competed against over nine different so-

rorities and we could not be more proud. Along with the

help of our cheerleading team, we also had help from

the chapter whether it was

buying the t-shirts, chalking their cars, or participating in

the share it nights. Our chapter came together as a whole, and all of our support landed us in

the rankings. We are so excited to come back next year even

better than before! ~Paige

HOMECOMING WEEK

NOVEMBER 8TH—14TH

“Coaching my chapter in one of the largest philanthropy events at FSU was

an amazing experience! The hard work and positive attitude our sisters had each

week at our practices made coaching so fun and rewarding. All of the hard work

paid off when the team hit a flawless routine and placed in the top three!

Having a hand in our success has been one of my favorite experiences in Alpha

Pi thus far!” ~ Zoe

Throughout Homecoming week we participated in multiple events including a skit night and pa-

rade alongside our Homecoming partners, Beta Theta Pi. We are proud to announce that we

won 1st place on our parade float and 2nd place overall! This would not have been possible

without all of all of the hard work from our Activities Chairman, Kayla Braden, as well as all of

the hours chapter members spent helping with the float. We are excited to participate again next

year!
