Alpha Chi Omega - University of Nebraska-Lincoln

A P u b l i c A t i o n o f t h e X i c h A P t e r o f A l P h A c h i o m e g A fAll 2017 L y r e l e t t e r The H appy fall, y'all! As we welcome this time of change in the seasons, we are also welcoming some change within our organization. A new semester, with new members joining Xi Chapter, makes for a very exciting time at the house! Within our alumnae support roles, you will also see some change and some vacancies that we need to fill in order to provide the best support for our all of our members—this includes YOU! Do you feel called to step up and support your Alpha Chi Omega sisters? There has never been a better time than now! In order to maintain our legacy of excellence, we need more support from our strong sisters, near and far. We need volunteers for various roles—yes, in Lincoln, but from everywhere! Did you know, due to our digital age, many volunteers are able to participate from across town and even across the country? At the time of this publication, we are in need of Real. Strong. Women. to step into the following roles: • House Corporation Board President • House Corporation Board Vice President • Chapter Advisor • Lincoln Alumnae Chapter Treasurer The women of Xi Chapter require the support and guidance of the alumnae who came before them. They benefit from a strong housing board that works to maintain a safe, secure, stylish and sustainable living space. They appreciate the connections and bond they receive from frequent interaction with alumnae advisers, mentors, and friends. They look to those that came before to set the high standard that is expected of the ladies of Alpha Chi Omega's Xi Chapter. Without this support, we are not doing our part, in the bond, to set up our sisters for success. Now is the time for you to do your part. It is fun! It is rewarding! (Hey, connect with some of your best friends and step up together and you'll be sure to see what a great experience it will be.) Please contact me with questions or more information on how you can begin to do your part!
