good job!!

BTW ... how's it going??

[MonmouthSIG]

Pretty well so far. We haven't done too much yet since the semester is almost over. We're really gonna get rolling in the spring, so fingers crossed for that I'll keep everyone posted!

So how are things going? My Big sister will soon be visiting Monmouth. You guys will learn a lot from her.

[MonmouthSIG]

So far not too much has happened other that weekly meetings. We begin our Monmouth wide rush on February 4th (I got picked as 1 of 3 to help with recruitment, which i'm really excited about), then we drop out after first round, and pick back up again with our own recruitment the week of February 20th. We have a LOT of girls interested, which is definitely good since we're looking to recruit about 31 girls. We're all getting excited and wearing our letters with such pride!! I'll be sure to keep everyone posted!!

So how have things been going?

[MonmouthSIG]

Still not much to report. Nationals won't let us do anything until we get more girls, which starts February 20th. We're also a little bummed because the timeline we were orignally under the impression of following has drastically changed, making the process MUCH longer. We're willing to do whatever we have to though. I just wish I could have (potentially) been involved with more before I gradutate!

Hi everyone!!

We just had our pledging ceremony!! We took 7 Ama-xi-ing (yay) girls!!! We were hoping to take 31, but as many as we had say they were interesed, decided that they weren't. A bunch were also not asked back after interviews. We're probably going to try to recruit a few more this week since the colony got the go ahead to do that ourselves, which is exciting for us!!

Also, I just wanted to write in here that the sisters from Rider University are AWESOME because they're constantly coming down here to do these ceremonies for us. So a BIG thanks to them

Sounds like things are going well ... hang in there ...

thanks for the comment about Rider .. one of the members in my Alum Assoc. is from Rider .. in fact she's President of Tucson Alumnae Panhellenic this year ... I'll pass this on to her

[flirt5721]

Sounds like you guys are doing great. I really hope Shelby is teaching the cheers right. She had to call me and ask me how some of them went.

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to update you! Our officers have been picked! I was very upset that I wasn't able to run for president (i'm graduating ), but I got a call from our ELC asking me to be VP of Chapter Life for the rest of the semester, even though I only ran for historian, which made me happy. I think everyone was happy with what they got for the most part, although many were surprised at the result of president. We had another COB party last week and 10 girls came out...we're having one more on Tuesday and then giving out more bids, so yay on that!! I can't believe I have to leave all of this in 55 days I'm soooo happy that I was the driving force behind it happening, though, and i'll always have that in my heart Hope everyone is well!

[SoProud2BeAnAlphaXi]

And congratulations to you!!! You'll do a great job as CLVP. Great news with the COB, too ... sounds like Alpha Xi Delta is on the move at Monmouth and, you're right: You were a driving force behind it and you'll always have that, and your colony pin, to remember it by! You have all of our thanks for your dedication.

TFJ!

[MonmouthSIG]

Just another update!!

We just gave out bids to 5 more girls. We looove them. We're also looking at about 4 more PNM's, so we'll see how that goes. We're up to 27 now with total being 45

I'll keep everyone posted
