After overloading on matzah this week, I am finally ready to update you all on Alpha Phi's most current events!
Unfortunately we did not win AEPi's Sugar High Week, but we quickly got over it as we are preparing for PIKE Fireman's Challenge which will take place next weekend.
This week is definitely hectic around the GW campus. Admitted Students have come to check out the area and of course we are all smiling and being extra helpful. My room is being shown as the "typical freshman dorm" and I can't tell you how many times I have answered questions along the lines of "do your parents worry?" or "how the heck are you going to get all this stuff home?" Which leads me to my next point. Your daughters have A LOT of stuff (yes mom, I know I do too) and since the end of the school year is approaching, it is time to start thinking of where all of that stuff is going to go. An organization on campus called store4summer is run by fellow greeks and have offered to donate $5 per girl towards our philanthropy. SO encourage your daughters to start thinking about this!
Now for the good stuff! We had formal last weekend and it was a HUGE success. Everyone looked absolutely gorgeous and the location was perfect. The formal event was held at a restaurant in Union Station which had enough room for everyone to dance and to hang out if they wanted a break. Make sure you check out the picture page for some photos!
Coming up, Alpha Phi along with the rest of the Greek Community will be finding out our Greek Excellence standings. Greek Excellence is a combination of many things that include: your chapter's involvement with the GW community and the DC community, annual philanthropy events, the uniqueness of your chapter and many more things. It is crucial for Alpha Phi to receive gold ( the rankings go as follows: gold, silver, bronze...nothing). We will find out the results form that soon and I will of course keep you all updated!
SELF Challenge is upon us! SELF magazine and Alpha Phi International have teamed up to encourage girls to live happy healthy lifestyles. They are doing this through the SELF challenge! The chapter with the most competitors wins $3,000 towards an Alpha Phi event. We won this last year and would really really love to win again this year. Anyone can sign up, just click this link and fill in the information. Make sure you enter Alpha Phi for the sorority and then GW for the chapter. Feel free to send this link along to friends, co-workers and family! https://secure.self.com/user/challenge/registration
Community Service- This weekend is Relay for Life and Alpha Phi has registered as a team. We will be participating in the event all weekend and would love your support. Although I don't want to beg, any donations would be wonderful. You can donate through our team website. http://main.acsevents.org/goto/alpha.phi
In addition to Relay for Life, our Director of Community Service just recently got back from Panama where she was helping with Operation Smile. Our donations were very much appreciated by the organization and you can also find pictures on the shutterfy website.
A few reminders to conclude: Check out the picture website: http://alphaphidc.shutterfly.com/
Hope everything is going well and as always, if you have any questions or concerns, please e-mail me!
Sincerely,
Emily Primack
Director of Community Relations
