OFFICERS
A Message from our President
DEAR POTENTIAL NEW MEMBERS,
I AM HONORED AND EXCITED TO WRITE THIS LETTER TO YOU TODAY, WISHING YOU THE BEST AS YOU ENTER THE PROCESS OF FORMAL RECRUITMENT HERE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA (GO GATORS)!. LOOKING BACK AT MY LAST THREE YEARS AT THE UNIVERSITY, HANDS DOWN, JOINING THE PANHELLENIC COMMUNITY WAS THE BEST DECISION I DID FOR MYSELF. IT HAS OPENED THE DOOR TO ENDLESS OPPORTUNITIES ON AND OFF CAMPUS, AND INTRODUCED ME TO FRIENDSHIPS THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME WITHOUT A DOUBT. AS A FRESHMAN, I HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WAS GETTING MYSELF INTO. COMING FROM A SMALL TOWN, I WAS EXTREMELY NERVOUS GOING INTO COLLEGE. I WAS ENTERING A NEW STAGE IN MY LIFE AND WAS TERRIFIED. I WAS ITCHING TO FIND MY HOME AWAY FROM HOME THE SECOND I MOVED INTO YULEE HALL. THE IDEA OF JOINING A HUGE COMMUNITY WITH A BUNCH OF WOMEN I HAD NEVER MET REALLY SCARED ME. LOOKING BACK AT IT THREE YEARS LATER, I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT I CLICKED THAT SUBMIT BUTTON. I KNOW A LOT OF YOU MAY FEEL THIS WAY AS WELL AND LET ME TELL YOU, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. AS YOU FIND YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME, SOME ADVICE I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER YOU IS - BE AUTHENTICALLY YOU. FIND A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO CELEBRATE YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF AND EMPOWER YOU TO STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE. WHEN YOU WALK INTO EACH HOUSE, THINK ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL. DO YOU FEEL INCLUDED, CELEBRATED, AND COMFORTABLE? DO YOU FEEL EMPOWERED TO BE YOURSELF? CAN YOU IMAGINE YOURSELF HANGING OUT IN THE HOUSE WITH NO MAKEUP AND SWEATPANTS WATCHING FRIENDS ON THE COUCH? I HAVE FOUND ALL OF THIS AND MORE TO BE TRUE AT ALPHA CHI OMEGA, AND THAT’S WHEN I KNEW I COULD CALL THIS CHAPTER MY HOME.
AT ALPHA CHI OMEGA, OUR MOTTO IS REAL STRONG WOMEN. AND AT GAMMA IOTA, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE. OUR WOMEN EMPOWER ONE ANOTHER EVERY SINGLE DAY TO REACH THEIR POTENTIAL AND ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS, BOTH PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL. OUR CHAPTER WOMEN SUPPORT EACH OTHER IN THE HOUSE, ON CAMPUS, AND BEYOND.
THE SISTERHOOD AT ALPHA CHI OMEGA IS LIKE NO OTHER. THIS SISTERHOOD IS INCLUSIVE, WHERE YOU CAN JOIN ANY GROUP OF WOMEN AT THE DINNER TABLE AND FEEL WELCOME. THIS SISTERHOOD IS MEMORABLE, WHERE YOU CAN HAVE LATE NIGHT MOVIE MARATHONS IN THE GREEN ROOM, INDULGE IN CHEF DAVE’S FAMOUS COOKIES, AND GO TO SPIN CLASSES WITH YOUR SISTERS. THIS SISTERHOOD IS EMPOWERING, WHERE YOU CAN TAKE ON NEW CHALLENGES AND INVOLVEMENT WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE CHAPTER. THIS SISTERHOOD IS WHERE YOU CAN BE YOUR BEST SELF, EMPOWERED BY THE WOMEN AROUND YOU.
ALPHA CHI OMEGA MAKES THIS NEW ADVENTURE FEEL LIKE HOME, AND THE WOMEN IN THIS CHAPTER MAKE ALL OF THE DAUNTING YET EXCITING CHALLENGES AHEAD FEEL POSSIBLE. WE ARE SO EXCITED TO INTRODUCE YOU TO OUR CHAPTER, AND SHOW YOU WHAT EMPOWERED SISTERHOOD MEANS TO US.
SINCERELY,
Devyn Menne
