Due to COVID-19 restrictions no one other than the dancers were allowed at the venue. so what did we do? After dinner – We hosted a watch party for in house residents upstairs in the TV Room, and hosted a Fill your Cup Ice Cream sundae bar downstairs complete with adorable custom cups & all the candy you can think of for toppings! We had a blast cheering the dancers on from afar and are so proud of their performance tonight.

A huge Congratulations to team captain Emily, co-captain Maddie and the entire team for a job well done!!!! You can learn more about the team here.

The Panhellenic delegates of Alpha Chi Omega, Kappa Alpha Theta, Delta Delta Delta and Alpha Gamma Delta worked together to plan a Park Avenue Sisterhood event following COVID-19 Guidelines. The ladies worked together to rent a big screen and projector to watch She’s the Man Movie and had Mamma P’s Icecream truck cater ice cream snacks. Each house had 25 sisters in attendance to maintain the 100 person outside capacity cap following Florida State University’s COVID-19 guidelines. A big thank you to all delegates for planning, especially our delegate Ally.

This week the ladies of Alpha Chi hosted a Holi celebration. Known as the festival of colors – the celebration consisted of the VP Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Alara & Cultural Chair, Natasha sharing information about the Holiday and the significance of the colors – followed by sisters throwing colored powder!

For Homecoming 2021 the ladies of Alpha Chi Omega are paired with Delta Chi Fraternity and Best Buddies FSU. For those that haven’t heard of the later, Best Buddies International is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to establishing a global volunteer movement that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment, leadership development, and inclusive living for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

Best Buddies has a chapter at FSU that is a recognized student organization on campus, they strive to serve IDD community in Tallahassee. This includes, but is not limited to, people with Down syndrome, autism, Fragile X, Williams syndrome, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury and other undiagnosed disabilities. Best buddy programs empower the special abilities of people with IDD by helping them form meaningful friendships with their peers, secure successful jobs, live independently, improve public speaking, self-advocacy and communication skills, and feel valued by society.

To get to know members of the FSU Best Buddy organization and their Buddies – the ladies of Alpha Chi & gentleman of Delta Chi organized a field day at local Tom Brown Park. Members participated in an egg and spoon replay race, created friendship bracelets and played various yard games (jenga, connect four, horse shoe, ring toss & yard bowling) and of course tossed around footballs and kicked soccer balls back and forth.

While we didn’t manage to capture everyone in a photo, we had nearly 50 people in attendance! We did manage to capture some action shots, as seen below.

This Sunday you could find our sisters getting ready for homecoming week at Tom Brown Park having a field day with our homecoming partners! This year Alpha Chi is paired with Delta Chi, and Best Buddies. This was a great way for all the members to come out and hangout and get to know each other. There were games, snacks, and arts & crafts for all members to do. It was a great event to kick off homecoming season!
