PROMOTING ALPHA CHI EVERYDAY!
AXO Sisters we have more PACE Packets yay!  It is always great to share our wonderful Alpha Chi stories with others. In solidarity with the installation of our new Alpha Chi Omega collegiate chapter at Chapman University we are declaring February 27th as RED CARNATION DAY!  All AXO's in our region are encouraged to wear your AXO letters and colors! Put red carnations on your car as you run your errands! A great story, two AXO alumnae sisters here in Orange County were living in the same apartment complex but never knew they were AXO sisters :-( Until one day one of them wore her AXO sweatshirt to go pick up her laundry in their laundry room, the other sister saw her shirt and a sisterhood connection was made! Two sisters from different universities coincidentally meeting, forming a friendship and rekindling a bond of sisterhood! :-D That is what we are trying to recreate on Feb 27th!  Let's go rediscover our sisters out there!! And enthusiastically support the new generation of AXO's at Chapman!  If you would like some of these PACE materials contact Kathleen at axodod@gmail.com. LITB dear sisters!!
