Hi  my name is Abby and I'm from Pittsburgh, but moved to Orlando last summer! My major is communications and media studies. I really like design and fashion and all that fun stuff! My favorite meal at alpha chi has been taco bar, and I'm really looking forward to getting involved and hopefully getting a leadership position one day!

I love watching movies and different series, and going to the gym. My favorite meal so far has been the buffalo chicken salad or the macaroni & cheese with spinach casserole.

Brittany Barbosa 

I'm Brittany and I'm from McLean, Virginia. I'm majoring in Biology. I love all outdoorsy things like running, hiking, biking, skiing, playing tennis, and dance. I'm actually obsessed with the meals at axo they're delicious lol but chicken cordon bleu is probably my favorite so far. I'm most looking forward to making lifelong friendships with all the girls, it's amazing how much we've already connected :)

Erica Pope

I'm Erica and I'm from Gainesville, Florida, which can be kind of difficult because of the intense rivalry between the Seminoles and the Gators. But, I've lived there my whole life so I'm glad I came to FSU and got away for a little bit. My major is Exploratory right now but I'm thinking about majoring in English and eventually getting my PhD to become a professor at a University. My favorite things to do are hangout with my friends and go to the beach, which I haven't done in forever because there aren't any close by! My favorite meal so far has been the chicken tortilla soup and quesadillas with queso...I'm obsessed with queso. I'm most looking forward to all the socials and getting more involved with the philanthropy, and dance marathon because everyone says that's one of the most fun activities we do all year!

Unmasking Domestic Violence Gala

Did you know that 1 in 4 women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime? October is domestic violence awareness month, and the ladies of Alpha Chi Omega are doing everything they can to share this with the world. As a way to shed light upon their philanthropy, Alpha Chi Omega held their first Unmasking Domestic Violence Gala, in which the turnout was nothing short of a success!



Taking place this past Friday night, friends, family, faculty and alumnae all gathered together in the University Club for the big event. The night kicked off with a piano performance by a fellow sister, followed by a Jazz band that got people on their feet. Dinner and dessert were provided, and the drinks were continuously flowing. Meanwhile, the bidding was never ending in our silent auction, making for a remarkable turnout. By the end of the night, Alpha Chi Omega had the honor of presenting a grand total of $11,887.73 to the local woman’s refuge house! This increases the total donations of Alpha Chi Omega at Florida State University to a new cumulative total of $87,019.24! With the help of Darley Aquino, VP Philanthropy, and Ashley Strawser, VP Membership Programming, Alpha Chi Omega put on just the kind of night they had been hoping for.
