XI CHAPTER OF ALPHA CHI OMEGA | UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA-LINCOLN | FALL 2024
X
i Chapter had a summer full of renovations
and maintenance. From not-so-glamourous
projects like tuckpointing three stories of the
exterior to new hallway carpet throughout,
the real icing on the "dream cake" was the
completion of the second-floor bathroom remodel.
After many years of saving and planning, the
entire bathroom was fully renovated just in
time for 2024 recruitment—and our members
couldn't be more thrilled. The floor boasts
a gorgeous penny tile with our Greek letters
inlayed and a heated flooring system outside
of the shower area. Each of the five showers
has its own door surrounded by reproduction
marble tile. Our eight sinks sit on top of a
locally designed chrome base with open Corian
shelving for member shower caddies. The
counters are covered in a fabulous white Corian
with black and grey veining throughout. We
worked with a local designer to choose timeless
products and color palettes.
Thank you to those who have supported our
fundraising efforts for this costly but much-
needed project! We hope all of our sisters
visiting campus, attending a game, or tailgating
will have time to stop by the house and ask a
collegian for a tour. We think you just might
want to move back into your beautiful 716! She
may be old, but she is grand, and she is ours.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention that after
completing these expensive projects, HCB
continues to need your support to rebuild our
reserves. Please consider contributing to the
Xi Chapter House Corporation Board as a part
of your end-of-year giving. We are always so
grateful for your support!
Loyally in the Bond,
