We have the most sisters living in the house in recent history, and the energy has been indescribable. This, coupled with new improvements made over the summer, have made for a lovely atmosphere. (Who knew we could be so excited about new laundry machines?!) It's been so fun to catch up with everyone about our summer adventures! Our fall primary recruitment cycle, led by Recruitment Chairman Ciara Tang '22, was a huge success! Ciara planned an incredible Work Week, featuring themes like Chi O Camo and Chi O Bunga, which was an awesome bonding experience. We welcomed 50 members into our sisterhood, and New Member Educator Sophia Goedderz '22 has been tirelessly working to help integrate and introduce them to the traditions and values of Chi Omega. From hiking the Fire Trails and making slime together to having a sleepover on Couch Omega, we've already made so many Chi O memories. The month of October was especially busy for Mu: Big/Little Reveal, Parents' Weekend and Presents, initiation, the annual corporation board meeting, and our National Leadership Consultant visit are just a few of the events we were excited to host. Excitingly, Philanthropy Chairman Taylor Lang '22 is planning our first-ever Wish Week for the first week of November! We can't wait to see all the amazing events she has planned, including a Chapter favorite, Wake Up for Wishes pancake breakfast! Meanwhile, our executive board is preparing to transition roles to our successors. It's hard to believe our tenure is almost over—we've had such an amazing time working with our sisterhood. We can't wait to see what the future has in store for Mu. Go Bears and go Chi O! Loyally, Megan Wang '22 Chapter President calchiomegapresident@gmail.com Game day. Go Bears! Sharing Chi O pride for Work Week.
