HAPPY FALL, MU CHAPTER ALUMNAE!
Mark Your Calendars for May 2-3 for Our Mu Chapter Centennial Celebration
I
hope each of you is enjoying fall. Our
members have been very busy with formal
recruitment and all of the semester activities.
Summer maintenance items were all completed
in time for the chapter members to move in
to the house, and I am looking forward to
my November visit to the chapter. During
each House Corporation visit, a thorough
inspection of the house is conducted so we can
address any needs and plan for future projects
to ensure the chapter house is well maintained.
The Mu Chapter centennial celebration will
be held May 2-3, 2020, in Champaign and is
fast approaching. The active planning stage
will start in earnest spring 2019 when we will
do site visits to potential luncheon locations
on campus. Please e-mail aephihouse@gmail.
com to volunteer for the centennial planning
committee. We hope that many alumnae will
be in attendance. On May 2, we plan to
have a campus and university archive tour,
view the Mu Chapter archives, and record
oral histories from alumnae and chapter
members to commemorate the centennial and
centennial luncheon. On May 3, we will hold
a chapter house tour and brunch. Please join
us in planning this exciting weekend. We need
alumnae assistance in planning this celebratory
weekend!
House Corporation and the chapter members
are so appreciative of the alumnae who have
contributed to the Mu Chapter Annual Giving
Campaign! Your support and commitment
to Mu Chapter is greatly appreciated, and it
is important as we work to provide a well-
appointed and competitive facility for our
members.
Housing competition is greater than ever at
UIUC with two new sorority chapter houses
built recently in Champaign. It is vital that
the Mu Chapter house remains competitive
with the other facilities. Future needs include
new windows on the second and third
floors, remodeling of the bathrooms, and air
conditioning for both bedroom floors.
Please remember to send in your biographical
updates so we can share your news in the next
newsletter. We love to hear from you!
