October 15, 1885 was a beautiful fall day on the DePauw University campus. Even though we are not completely sure of the weather forecast that day, for Alpha Chi Omegas everywhere, the day was beautiful because it was the day our beloved fraternity was founded by these seven women who we honor each year. The scarlet and olive chosen as the fraternity colors and our Symphony are heartwarming reminders to Alpha Chis that we have a heritage that is worthy of remembrance.
This year we will celebrate the 50 year membership of some of our Sigma sisters with a 50 year pin ceremony that will be held at the chapter house at 828 E. Washington in Iowa City on Saturday, October 15, 2016. All alumnae and collegiate members are cordially invited to attend the ceremony which will begin at 10:30am. We will host a small reception after the ceremony, and also celebrate the fraternity by watching the current collegians' videos from recruitment this fall. A Domestic Violence Intervention Project presentation will also be given and members and alumnae are encouraged to bring any of the following items to donate to the local DVIP:
1. Pillows
2. Baby Bottles
3. Conditioner
4. Baby Formula
5. Laundry detergent (HE and regular)
6. Used cellphones, with chargers
7. Travel size ibuprofen and tylenol
8. Womens' underwear size 7-10
9. Pull-ups for children
10. Towels and washcloths
