(Pictures from various Spring Breaks and other Alpha Phi events!)
Like always, I have lots of updates! It took absolutely no time for Alpha Phi to get back into the swing of things post spring break...although we may have preferred the beaches to classes, we are back! The first week home, the sisters participated in Sigma Chi's philanthropy called "Derby Days". Not to brag or anything, but Alpha Phi kicked some major booty and WON! We were happy to support our fellow greeks and now we have a nice trophy :) Right now we are competing in AEPi's philanthropy, "Sugar High" (foundation to help research for the cure for Type 1 Diabetes) So far we are doing really well. With the help of a few specific sisters (Lohr!), we got second place last night in Greek Idol! The events will end Saturday and then we will find out who wins..fingers crossed! While we are having lots of fun with external philanthropy, what we are all really looking forward to is FORMAL this friday! Tomorrow we will all get dressed up and head to Thunder Grill located in Union Station for a great night. I will of course, post pictures and let you all know how it goes!
Some other news for you:
This past weekend, the sisters of Alpha Phi gathered on the national mall in our new blue matching letters to take pictures for the website! While we are currently updating the site, check it out here http://gwalphaphi.com
Our Director of Community Service, Brianna Sachs, left today for Panama! Alpha Phi has been collecting dental supplies and donations for Operation Smile and Brianna is traveling to deliver our donations as well as volunteer her time! We are really excited about her trip and even more excited to hear about the children that she works with. To find out more about Operation Smile click here: http://www.operationsmile.org While we are no longer collecting donations, the organization is really great and could always use the extra help!
This month is going to be busy for Alpha Phi. We are participating in an all day volunteer event with Jumpstart. Sisters will be coloring with DC elementary students, hanging out and just acting as the wonderful role models that we all are :) In addition to lots of papers and exams, Senior Send off is coming up! April 26th we will be hosting a brunch to celebrate the accomplishments of the Alpha Phi seniors!
I finally got the picture website up with LOTS of new pictures, so please check it out: http://alphaphidc.shutterfly.com/
