Alpha Chi Omega and ... Agriculture

Our dear alumna who epitomizes kindness and refinement is Sara Lou (Beta Eta, FSU). We love this photograph or her and her husband Ellis winning an award. 

Fun fact, Sara Lou is Leon High School graduate, and long-time friend of another of our beloved alumnae, Betty Barnett (d. April 2013)

Life Loyal - A Creative and Meaningful Graduation Gift

We love this creative and meaningful gift, and we love our Kappa Xi chapter (Amy, Britain and Jenn attended the colony's Initiation and Installation in 2006, and Beta Eta sisters conducted the ceremony.)

Beta Eta's recruitment advisor Meaghan (Kappa Xi) is at the top of the family pyramid (on the left)! Love it.

#TBT Alumnae Panhellenic of Tallahassee Remix

Not sure this really counts as a Throwback Thursday ... 

it only happened in February. ha, ha

We love attending the Alumnae Panhellenic of Tallahassee Scholarship Luncheon each year. We have such fun with our own Alpha Chi Omega sisters.

This year our hearts swelled with pride again as we celebrated Libby Pace one of the Beta Eta collegians (4.0 GPA, past vp-id, past AED president, four-year DM participant, etc.!) who received (another) scholarship from @tallyaph.

Simple, but fun: You have to love a happy cake!

Froyo for a Cause!: Refuge House

In honor of Sexual Violence Awareness Month in April, we're doing a "throwback" and highlighting the fun we had supporting Refuge House and DVAM in October!

On Saturday, October 20, 2012 Refuge House held a fundraiser at Nuberri to raise awareness about domestic violence and domestic violence awareness month;  honor victims and survivors of domestic violence; and raise funds for the shelter.

Britain and Jenn wanted to document the event (and eat froyo, OF COURSE!)
Check out Britain's blog post on Simply Southern Girl too.

Isn't that AX-DVA button fabulous?

Super friendly volunteers and friends of Refuge House
