ALPHA CHI OMEGA 3 ACW www.alphachiksu.com Alpha Chi Omega Alumnae— Kansas State University Alpha Chi Omega— Gamma Zeta Chapter @AlphaChiKSU @AlphaChiKSU Rho Tau Rho, Manhattan Area Alumnae Chapter of Alpha Chi Omega Visit Us Online pring 2017 has been filled with many accomplishments for the active members of Alpha Chi Omega at Kansas State University! RAISING AWARENESS In February, Gamma Zeta hosted a new philanthropy event, Donut Let Love Hurt, at our chapter house. Members of other chapters at K-State, as well as non-Greek students, stopped by 1835 Todd for an evening of coffee, doughnuts, and doughnut-themed games. The event was a success, and we look forward to hosting another in the future. We also partnered with Triangle fraternity for their annual Duck Race at Pillsbury Crossing. Members from both groups set up a table in the K-State Union to promote and fundraise for the event and on April 2, we helped host a barbecue and raced rubber ducks. RECRUITING NEW ALPHA CHIS Vice President of Recruitment Bre Hill '14 and Vice President of New Member Education Shelby Venjohn '15 joined forces to ensure a successful continuous open bidding for the semester. Gamma Zeta welcomed its 10 spring initiates by taking them bowling at the K-State Union for their Bid Night. GREEK WEEK ACHIEVEMENTS Ellen Blackwell '14 and Kylie Wilcox '14 served as co-chairmen for Greek Week, which Gamma Zeta helped organize in February, along with Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Sigma Phi Epsilon. The week included fun festivities for the entire K-State Greek community and Gamma Zeta was thrilled to earn second place overall! Our chapter also placed third in the Greeks Got Talent competition with our superhero-themed performance of "Holding Out for a Hero" from the movie Footloose. MOLDING LEADERS I was fortunate to attend the Leadership Academy held by AXΩ headquarters in Indianapolis on January 27-29, along with Moriah Wood '15 and Brenna Jellison '15. The event was informative, and we left with more in-depth knowledge of our executive positions and how to better collaborate on chapter-related issues. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GAMMA ZETA! On Wednesday, March 29, we celebrated our 70th anniversary as a chapter at K-State and marked the event with an open house on April 1. Visiting alumnae received tours, cookies, and reminisced about their time as undergraduates. With so much to look forward to the rest of this year, Gamma Zeta has no plans to slow down in the fall. We appreciate each of our alumnae and invite you to stop by 1835 Todd in the upcoming semester!
