A Great Fall Recruitment Results in
Great Talent "Phlocking" to AEPhi!
Mu Chapter Supports Our National Philanthropy, Sharsheret
T
he fall semester started off with a
productive and sisterhood-filled
work week to prepare for formal
recruitment. Recruitment was
led by our vice president of recruitment,
Samantha Davis '19, and was held
September 7-10 and September 16-17,
with our Bid Day celebration on Monday,
September 18. The sisters of Mu Chapter
were so excited to welcome 38 new women
into our sisterhood. Our Bid Day was
planned and set up by our vice president of
new member education, Kara Kilpatrick
'19. The chapter house had a vintage travel
theme with passport photos of each of the
new sisters and amazing decorated AEPhi
letters that were arranged as a decoupage
of old maps of the world. Everyone had a
great time celebrating with the chapter and
we concluded the evening with an a cappella
performance from one of the groups on
campus. The new member class has begun
their new member process with a special
"Phi Night" every week with icebreakers
and activities to get to know each other and
the rest of the chapter.
On October 1, we held our fall semester
philanthropic dinner. It was catered by Black
Dog, a local barbecue restaurant in Champaign
and Urbana. The proceeds from the ticket sales
went to our national philanthropy, Sharsheret,
a nonprofit organization that supports young
Jewish women and their families facing breast
cancer. Additionally, throughout the entire
month of October our chapter held our Phlocking
Phis event on campus. Phlocking Phis is Mu
Chapter's fall semester philanthropic event. For
a set price, organizations request to place 100
flamingos on the lawn of another organization
for 24 hours. The "phlocked" houses were then
given information about Sharsheret, why they
were "phlocked," and how they can participate
in the event.
We also want to congratulate Grace Merrett
'15, who was named to the Homecoming Court
and represented Mu Chapter beautifully.
