chronicles of chi o pt. 2

So this past week has been full of happenings at the Chi Omega house....beginning with our wonderful philanthropy! Chi O Cravings is our fall philanthropy that is basically a dessert buffet! We all bring two desserts and sell tickets for 4-5$ and all the money goes to Make a Wish. This year was such a success! We had a live band outside playing for people to listen to while in line, and by the way the line was LONG! And our dessert options were so yummy and we had so many! We had so many people show up that some of the girls had to go buy more desserts!

All the UHMAZING DESSERTS

oh ya know just the back up table!

Today was the day we have all been waiting for here at the 820, Slating! Slating is the process where we pick our new executive board members. The positions being voted upon in slating were President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, New Member Educator, Recruitment Chair, Panhellenic Delegate, Social Chair, and House Manager. This slating was so exciting. First thing first during our meeting at the beginning a mouse began running around the lights in the ceiling, so gross and dramatic with 200 girls. This year we had a lot of positive changes in our process and really the discussions over each position and girl nominated was so classy and sisterly, way to go Chi Omega. The tough part was when the slating committee had to actually develop a slate with our votes, comments, and nominations. We started the process at 2pm and did not get our first slate til almost 8! We have an opportunity to fail or pass the slate and luckily the majority passed the slate! Our new exec is such an amazing group of young women, and really everyone nominated was qualified. I know that these girls will represent Chi O so well and will lead our house to an amazing 2011-2012 year!
