Hooray!
 
Congratulations and welcome to your daughter! We are lucky to have you as an Alpha Chi Omega mother. Put the mother's pin on your Christmas list.

It is an exciting time for the chapter, finally getting a Brownstone, we are over the moon. :D

I hope we will be lucky enough to hear how she likes her new member experience. Oh, I'm so excited!

Congratulations to Hypo and to Alpha Chi Omega!!

Now, where to send the congratulatory chocolates to AGDee for surviving Recruitment!

I think that I only know of 1 AXO in real life..I'm sure there are some in our Panhel group but I don't always remember their affiliation.

At least you have one letter in common!

One niece I share 1 - another I share 2 -- not sure if I will ever get the 3rd match, lol.

and two colors :)

Aww, thank you! I may have to pay for that mother's pin myself...lol. It is very exciting that they are getting a Brownstone! I read about that last term in the Spectator!

Gusteau 02-05-2013 11:34 PM

Congratulations!

I don't know why, but I just had a feeling it would be Alpha Chi...

Wishing Hypo all the best!

groovypq 02-05-2013 11:38 PM

A Brownstone? That sounds so cool!

AOII Angel 02-05-2013 11:42 PM

Congratulations to Hypo and AXO! I had a feeling she would go with the group that had all the women she knew. Those women recruited her in every way possible. I hope she enjoys everything Greek life has to offer.

agzg 02-06-2013 12:15 AM

Of course I'm not crying... Much. Congrats Hypo!

thetalady 02-06-2013 12:32 AM

Yeah!!! Very happy for everyone! Sounds like Hypo is definitely where she is supposed to be... home :)

camom 02-06-2013 01:21 AM

Congratulations. It sounds like it was meant to be. My daughter pledged AChi O in the fall and could not be happier.

Smile_Awhile 02-06-2013 01:25 AM

I am so excited to have Hypo as a member of the Alpha Chi family! I stalk lyres professionally- I'll let you know if I find something she must have. ;)

When I read that symphony, I have to believe that she did not just become a new member of The Highline, she always was one:



To see beauty even in the common things of life,
To shed the light of love and friendship round me;
To keep my life in tune with the world
That I shall make no discords in the harmony of life,
To strike on the lyre of the universe
Only the notes of happiness, of joy, of peace;
To appreciate every little service rendered;
To see and appreciate all that is noble in another,
Be her badge what it may;
And to let my lyre send forth the chords of love, unselfishness, sincerity.
This is to be my symphony.

So, for those who haven’t figured it out yet, The Highline is

Alpha Chi Omega

We don’t share a sisterhood, but we do share two colors and a Panhellenic Creed!


!!!!! YES !!!!!

Congratulations! Late getting back to this thread. They just got a brownstone!!!

Your daughter just joined an excellent organization full of a lot of wonderful women. She will have the time of her life.

AGDee 02-06-2013 02:43 PM

Yes, at Columbia recruitment, the B's you weren't supposed to talk about were Boys, Booze and Brownstones...lol. Apparently it was a big inequity to have a townhouse instead of a Brownstone so it was a huge deal that AXO finally got one.

I read in a recent article that only 2 Barnard girls are allowed to live in the Brownstone at one time...no more. The article says that over 60% of AXO chapter members go to Barnard...that doesn't seem fair at all!

AGDee 02-06-2013 08:02 PM

Probably because they're owned by Columbia? Lots of other student organizations were mad that most of them have gone to greek orgs. It was pretty controversial.

Here's a link that shows the floor plans and gives more information.
http://housingservices.columbia.edu/...wnstones#notes

AXO will be in 536 W. 114th. Those floor plans are available on that site.

AGDee 02-06-2013 08:41 PM

Double posting, because someone along the way asked for a bid day pic. This is the whole chapter, not just the new members.

They look so happy!

AGDee 02-06-2013 08:47 PM

She has so many Facebook posts from new sisters too, even some who are studying abroad right now: one from Oxford and one from Paris.

AGDLynn 02-06-2013 09:10 PM

I think I found her..she's the smiling one! :D:D

lovespink88 02-06-2013 09:47 PM

Yep, the one smiling, in the grey shirt!

IrishLake 02-06-2013 10:13 PM

Congrats to you and AChiO Hypo!!!! Thanks for sharing with us Dee!!! :)

Sciencewoman 02-06-2013 11:55 PM

The sister in the front, on the right, is doing the AXO hand signal very well. I actually like this hand signal (gasp!) -- it really looks like the AXO letters!

aggieAXO 02-07-2013 08:46 AM

Congrats to your daughter!!

ElvisLover 02-07-2013 09:32 AM

AGDee 04-21-2013 11:05 AM

Hypo is being initiated this evening :)

IUHoosiergirl88 04-21-2013 11:47 AM

Congrats to her and AXO!

Sciencewoman 04-21-2013 04:39 PM

Congrats to Hypo! What does her badge look like?

AGDLynn 04-21-2013 05:17 PM

Woowoo!!

Lost track of time and guess I thought she already initiated!

Much happiness to her with her sisterhood!

AGDee 04-21-2013 09:20 PM

She's at Initiation right now. I don't know what her badge looks like yet. There was a white dress crisis, but she found one yesterday or today.

aggieAXO 04-21-2013 10:42 PM

Congrats to Hypo, welcome to the bond!
