AFFILIATED HOUSE CORPORATION CONTINUES
TO CONSIDER NEEDS OF ALPHA XI
Alpha Xis, with the newest members, celebrate on Bid Day.
he Alpha Xi Affiliated House Corporation Board
(AHC) is dedicated to the health and well-being of the
chapter and its facilities. The board seeks to provide a safe,
competitive, and functional living space along with delicious
meals and snacks for Alpha Xi residents and chapter members.
The AHC also supports the collegiate members and alumnae by hosting a
reception during Homecoming and by providing lunch for graduates and
their families in May.
The AHC has partnered with Campus Cooks, a company servicing Greek
organizations on many campuses, for the last four years. Chef Allen and
his assistant have been assigned to our house for the past two and a half
years. We like to think that the great-tasting home-cooked meals are a
contributing factor to why the house is at capacity with residents each year.
We are proud of how we have maintained the 60-year-old house both inside
and out, but with the SMU campus and Greek housing being updated, we
will need to follow suit. Six of the eight sororities have already rebuilt
and enlarged their houses to capitalize on modern building structure,
internet and security, and the ability to house more members. As with any
aging home, maintenance is vital. The AHC found it necessary to replace
the dining room window over spring break and is constantly upgrading
security equipment to ensure a safe home for the residents. During the
summer, new décor and accessories on the first floor will be purchased to
provide a fresh update for the new school year.
Although the AHC is currently filled with Gamma Phi Beta alumnae
volunteers, we are seeking references for future Advisory Board members,
house director weekend substitutes, or special project volunteers. If you
are interested in any position, or know of a Dallas alumna to refer, please
e-mail gpbhouse.smu@gmail.com for more information.
