P
hi Chapter is proud to announce a 3.5
overall GPA from the fall semester. This
is a huge increase from spring 2024's 3.37,
landing us at fifth overall in the Panhellenic
community. We are so proud of our members
and extend a huge thank-you to Liv Matthes
'21 for working so hard on our sisters'
academic plans, as well as putting on the first
ever 4.0 Banquet.
In February, we put on Pizza Pie with Alpha
Chi at the Phi house and had a huge turnout!
We are proud to have raised almost $9,000 in
one night to donate to The Willow. We later
held our Denim Day event and a philanthropy
event in April.
Phi Chapter had the privilege of sending seven
executive board members to Indianapolis for
two Headquarters leadership training sessions.
Avery Oppermann '23, Cait Cobb '23,
Maria Vercelote 24, and Tehya Harvey
'23 had the privilege of diving deeper into
personal leadership strategies, chapter-wide
goals, delegation, and improving our rituals.
Lauren Tracy '22, Taylor Stoll '22, and
Avery Rafferty '23 all had the opportunity to
further develop our recruitment strategies and
marketing efforts.
Also in February, Phi Chapter participated in
the 76th Annual Rock Chalk Revue alongside
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, where Greta Green
'21, Sydney Nicks '22, and Ella Bentley '23
dreamed of being superstars through their
roles as Elaine, Margot, and Peggy. When
their brother, Ronnie, went behind their back
and submitted their demo to a competition
held by major pop icon, Johnny Starr, their
world was turned upside down. They headed
to New York City, where they discovered
Johnny's contract was intended to control their
careers, revealing his horrible intentions. Keith,
Johnny's assistant, exposed he also was trapped
by Johnny's scheme and helped the girls fight
for their freedom and break through for their
claim to fame.
With this outstanding performance, Alpha Chi
Omega was awarded Best Female Lead for
Sydney Nicks '22, Best Use of Set, and Best
Overall Vocal Performance. This year, RCR
raised a record-breaking $60,000, and Phi Chapter
is proud to be a part of this historical moment.
