Our annual dodgeball tournament in the spring was a huge success, with all the proceeds going toward the Make-A-Wish Foundation. "Dodgeball this year was such an amazing day where we all came together for such a special cause," said Philanthropy Chairman Forbes Weaver '24. "All the Chi Os that participated or volunteered put their entire hearts into it, and it's a day that I will look back on fondly for the rest of my life." Overall, Chi Omega raised about $6,000 for Make-A-Wish last semester! We also added a mental health cabinet to our Chapter, which has become a wonderful resource to spread love, awareness, and support to every member in Epsilon Beta. To round out the spring semester, our Chapter was awarded the second-highest GPA out of all Greek organizations on campus—an achievement for which we are very proud! We finished the spring with a 3.65 GPA. This past summer, Chapter President Riley Watkins '24 traveled to Phoenix, Arizona, to participate in the National Chi Omega Convention, where Epsilon Beta was granted its Chapter of Excellence Certification. Riley participated in leadership workshops, listened to guest speakers, and met Chi Omega representatives from all over the country. Her leadership, wisdom, and patience are an inspiration Chapter-wide, and she continues to set the perfect example every day of what it really means to be a sister of Chi Omega. We recently finished a successful fall recruitment and are ecstatic to welcome a group of incredible young women who we know will contribute so much to our Chapter! This fall, we are looking forward to our annual cookout and potential tea party fundraiser to raise money for Make-A-Wish. All the sisters are thrilled to be back on campus together and cannot wait to see what this school year has in store! Loyally, Anne Dehnert '24 Contributing Editor
