out of curiosity, what is our legacy policy? do legacies have to be in engineering or sciences?
PM me if its not public material.

PS: We won't be Omega, South Dakota State is being installed this weekend

[AOEforme]

Yes, legacies have to be in an applicable field at the time of sister initiation, just like all other initiates. Take a look at the forms we use.

Sad news about you not being Omega, but I'm really excited for SDSU.

And how awesome is being Alpha Alpha???

Have you guys seen this before? It was in our info night slideshow and I really like it:

A Pledge to AΩE

As an AΩE, I promise integrity.
I shall stay true to my sisterhood evermore.
The ideals I shall follow constantly
and always allow them to guide me on my path.
To my sisters and the world, I promise honesty.
To my field, I give dedication and promise.

The world will grow to count on me
for I am Alpha Omega E.

Sorry to crash, ladies.

I have a question about this--and only because it is encountered in one of the music fraternities SAI has an exclusivity agreement with.

If a sister is majoring in the applicable field at her time of initiation, but then changes her major to something else later on is her AOE membership terminated? What happens to her membership status?

(In MPhiE, if a member is initiated but them drops the music major or minor their membership is automatically terminated.)

[AOEforme]

If she changes her major after initiation, nothing happens. She is still a full member of Alpha Omega Epsilon.

Nothing even happens to her membership: she is still entitled to all rights of an Active-Active or Alumnae-Active.

In my particular chapter, we've had English majors before, a finance major, and a psychology major. They all switched their major after freshman or sophomore year and chose to remain active still.

I'm not sure of the reasoning behind it, but I'm glad it exists: it would be so sad to lose a sister you've come to love.

On a different note, my best friend from high school is now an SAI! I sent her red roses

[AOEforme]

We finally finished getting all the women from our class initiated. We had 10 new women for our Spring Class, which is a record for us!

Xi Class: (8 out of 10 pictured)

We should make this an official part of AOE (like the ideals and objectives not as important tho). Its beautiful, and I think every sister should read it.

I want get a nice copy of this printed to put in my room!

[AΩEGirl21]

Just wanted to say hi!!!!!!

Also, I want to know what you guys think a "good size" A.O.E. sorority is. How many actives? AOEforme you might agree with me on this but my chapter is at a stage right now where we are getting bigger and bigger candidate classes and don't know where to cap it. Should there be a cap?

Let me know what your thoughts are.

[OHNOITSJESS]

My colony down south has asked this question several times. We decided we can't place a number on it. Lately our fall candidate class has been growing like crazy (considering this is our first year as an A.O.E. colony. ) We doubled our chapter size last class, and are looking forward excitedly! (We Currently have 23 "actives" and 3 Spring "candidates"... since we are a colony nationally our actives are considered equal to chapter candidates)
We decided 4-6 girls would be a successful rush but we wouldn't cap it simply because we wouldn't turn a woman of true quality and that we can see benefiting us and reaping the benefits of A.O.E.
I hope this answers those questions.

Sending up love from the South!
