Its been an exciting semester so far for Arkansas Alpha.
This fall our colony of 43 members participated in Formal Recruited and signed a New Member Class of 55. This far and exceeded the expectations of the members, alumni and GHQ. Within this group there are former Student Council Presidents, All-State Athletes and members that have faithfully served their community. Additionally, we also signed one member of the Varsity Track Team and have two new members running for ASG Senate this week.
Last week, the Colony sent in their petition for re-installation. This took the form a thick binder that included: member bios, all new programs (recruitment, new member education, community service, alumni relations, scholarship and risk management), letters of recommendation and grade reports. It will now be reviewed by several groups and eventually will be approved by the General Council. At that point the date for Installation will be set. The picture above is Vice President Collin Pitts holding the completed petition before it was sent out.
We were also visited this past week by our Province President Joe Passanise. He encouraged the group to keep up the great work they were doing. Joe also emphasized the importance of academics, and to aim for a class average of over a 3.0. He spoke to the New Members about how important this colony is to not only the older colony members, but to the alumni and the University, and how our behavior needs to be exemplary.
This weekend is Homecoming. For the different competitions we're paired with the ladies of Chi Omega. We have been working hard to create our float and lawn decorations. Chi Omega has won Homecoming for the last two years, and while there is no overall winner this year, we expect top finishes in the individual events. The members have been working very hard to make sure that happens.
This has been a great start to the semester, and we are looking forward to finishing it, and the rest of the year, in the same fashion.
