he Rho Tau Rho Manhattan area alumnae chapter was established earlier this year
and is very successful. Membership has grown to 25 alumnae and the group has
hosted monthly events including luncheons, a potluck dinner, and Founder's Day
celebrations. In addition, the chapter has assisted the Gamma Zeta Chapter with recruitment,
initiation, and a philanthropic event. On October 10, Rho Tau Rho hosted an alumnae tailgate
before the TCU vs. KSU football game for all Alpha Chi Omega alumnae. We were joined by
alumnae from near and far, and the "Ladies of the '80s" had an especially large turnout at the event!

T
he fall semester is in full swing here at Gamma Zeta! We
have enjoyed multiple football games, Dad's Weekend, a
chapter retreat, the heroes and villains date party, initiation,
Homecoming, Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the Pizza Slice
and Pumpkin Spice event with Kappa Delta, and much more. We're still
looking forward to more football and basketball games, decorating the
house for the holidays with our moms, officer transitions, and the Midnight
in Manhattan semi-formal.
100 YEARS OF K-STATE HOMECOMING
The Homecoming theme was A Century of Coming Home and we were
given 1900-1909 as our decade. The first World Series was in 1903, so
we took that on as our theme. We placed third in the parade competition.
CHAPTER ACTIVITIES
We had a blast at our chapter retreat in September! We went to YMCA
Camp Wood for a weekend and spent time bonding over a campfire, the
sunrise, and team-building games.
October was Domestic Violence Awareness Month and we had a booth at
the K-State Student Union, luminaries at the K-State Gardens, and hosted
Pizza Slice and Pumpkin Spice with Kappa Delta at our chapter house.
OFFICER TRANSITIONS
In mid-October, we slated our newest executive board! We're in the
process of educating the new officers and will complete turnover before
the end of the semester. We're excited for the new leaders of our chapter!
Haley McMurphy '13, Elle McAlister '14, and Lizzie Young '14 have
the privilege of heading to Leadership Academy in January to learn
more about their positions. Mom June and Haley are also eager to attend
Convention in June in Orlando.
Fall is a busy time here at K-State and Gamma Zeta, but we're excited
about all that is happening! We love showing alumnae changes within
the house and hearing all of your memories, so stop by and visit anytime.
Loyally,
Courtney Henney '12
