Fall Masquerade

Chi Omegas filled the dance floor

 A week and a half ago, we had our fall formal! The theme of this years formal was Masquerade and we were lucky enough to dance the night away at Hotel Andaluz. Our social chair, Amelia Linde, and her cabinet worked especially hard to make this night happen and go off without a hitch. There was a photo booth, appetizers, and tons of memories made with sisters. Putting aside all of our school work and problems for one night is just what the doctor ordered. Sometimes you just need to have a night with your sisters to have fun and kick your shoes off and dance till your feet hurt. This was our new members' first formal and they had a blast and enjoyed learning the traditions of Pi Gamma formals. Such traditions include singing "Friends in Low Places" by Garth Brooks and ending with "Shades" with our seniors. All in all we had a great time at and we cannot wait till our next formal in the spring!

Big Sis Reveal Fall 2013

Our New Member Educator, Cailee, spoke to the New Members about the special bond between Big's and Little's.

We had so many baby hooties this semester (36 to be exact) and we were more than excited for them to finally get their big sisters. A big sister is someone who they can look up to, someone that is a role model and someone that is not just a sister in Chi Omega but is also a best friend. 
 This semester we did a balloon pop for big sis reveal and the excitement had been building up all week! The big sisters found out who their new little sisters would be on Monday night, and they crafted gifts for their soon-to-be little's all week. All 36 new baby hooties received their first set of letters and other Chi O goodies this week! The big sisters had to keep who their new little sisters would be a secret until the next Monday. With the reveal of the big sisters came so many new bonds through Chi Omega. 
 Needless to say, Big's and Little's have a strong bond that will be there for the rest of their lives. Chi Omega is not just a sisterhood, but it also is a family. 

Baby Hooties patiently wait to pop their balloons!

So many Baby Hooties, so many balloons!

Some of our New Members were more emotional about finding out who their big's were than others. (Or more emotional for other new members to find out who their big's were)
