Chapter Anniversaries

[bruinaphi]

Hi ladies,

I'm just curious about how many Phis have had celebrations for their chapter's anniversaries recently.

The thread in Greek Life on Alpha Chapters made me think about my chapter's 75th Anniversary which was in 1999. One of our founding members was there with her daughter who was also a member of the chapter. She found a journal kept by the chapter historian in our library and read to us from it. The journal covered the time period when the chapter got their charter and started collecting money to build our chapter house. She told us the story of each graduating woman giving ten dollars to a fund to start the building fund for the house they were going to build at 714 Hilgard. It was one of the most moving moments I've experienced in Alpha Phi. Because of the efforts of this woman and her friends, generations of women have experienced the joys of membership in Alpha Phi at UCLA.

Does anyone else have special stories to share of their chapter anniversaries?
