Love & Loyalty Scholarship Fund benefiting Sisters

Beta Eta chapter is so fortunate to have endowed our own scholarship with Alpha Chi Omega Foundation.

Many alumnae and collegians donated treasures, time and talent to create the Beta Eta Love & Loyalty fund! We are pleased to read the thank you notes from the many recipients of the fund. Some sisters are finishing their undergraduates studies; one is a PhD student and a #4lifenot4years alumna who also serves as a chapter advisor to Zeta Psi in NOLA; and one collegian participated in National Panhellenic's philanthropy Circle of Sisterhood trip to Nicaragua to help remove education barriers for girls.

Senior Spotlight

Alpha Chi Senior Rebecca Epstein had the most amazing summer.

For three months, Rebecca was in Manhattan interning with EMW Music Group at Engine Room Audio. During her internship, she worked with well-known artists and advertising firms to write lyrics and music. She also performed voice overs for commercial advertising.

"Everyday I was surrounded by some of the most creative people in the recording industry that inspired me to write, record, and grow as a musician, artist, and individual," says Rebecca of her time in New York. 

After realizing how hard Rebecca was working and how talented she is, the company gave her the opportunity to write and record her own album. The album's single is called "Forever December" and will be out in just a few short weeks.

Stephanie Bernal spent three weeks of her summer in Kenya! She spent here time there volunteering at a special needs school in a town called Thika.  While at the school, she tutored the children and helped them with their classwork.  It wasn’t all work though; when they weren’t in class, Stephanie played games with and got to know the children. 

We are so proud of you Stephanie and all your amazing work this summer!

Beta Eta interning with March Communications!

This post is by Beta Eta Brooke Swilley, who is interning with March Communications, one of the leading tech PR agencies in Boston, MA. She was presented with this opportunity through the Tallahassee Student Chapter of the Florida Public Relations Association at FSU.

“It’s wicked gross out and I can’t remember where I pahked the cah.” This was the first phrase I heard a man nearly screaming into his cell phone as I waited outside the terminal on May 10. I knew I was no longer down south and it was goodbye Florida, hello Boston!

After taking the weekend to settle into my new home in Cambridge, MA for the next two and a half months, I began my first day as a summer intern with March Communications in downtown Boston. The weeks seem to fly by in a whirlwind of media scans, briefing books, pitch write-ups and steep technological learning curves. The content intimidation factor was high initially, but with an incredible staff and some intern comradery, my experience at March so far has been an utter success and I can officially say I’m a huge fan of the March team and so excited to be a part of it! 

Not only am I working, but I am blessed to have the opportunity to travel around New England to places like NYC and Vermont on the weekends as well as explore the beautiful city of Boston. Each day is definitely a new adventure whether it's someone I meet on the T subway or rooting for the Miami Heat against the Boston Celtics at a local pub. Life is good and I am so thankful for this amazing summer! 

LITB,

Brooke
