Advice for underclassman: Live it up during college and don’t take anything for granted. It flies by and don’t care what other people think…people will always judge. But don’t have too much fun, get internships and work experience. You’ll thank yourself later!

Favorite meal at AXO: Taco bar! Queso makes any day better.
Favorite memory at AXO: Meeting my little Taylor Locklear. She is my best friend, my go to person for everything. Without AXO I would not have found the girl who stands by me through everything.

I plan on going to graduate school for School of Child Psychology in the Spring somewhere in Florida. I’m excited for the opportunity to enjoy Tallahassee outside of school!

 Advice for underclassman: Never stop taking advantages of the opportunities available to all of us. Some of my greatest accomplishments and memories at FSU are the ones where I took a risk, worked towards a goal, and did not stop trying. Also, remember that AXO is part of something so much bigger than just our sorority. We are part of Panhellenic. Don’t miss out on meeting all of the other amazing girls from other organizations.


We are so proud of you, ladies!

Holiday Cheer At Alpha Chi

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at 518 West Park Avenue! Here at the Alpha Chi Omega house, we have been getting in the holiday spirit. This past Sunday, sisters came together and decorated the house with assistance from our house director, Mama Lynn. Cookies and hot chocolate were made and Christmas music was playing to get everyone excited about the holidays!

A Christmas tree is set up in the informal, garland is wrapped around the stair banisters, and wreaths and ribbons fill the foyer and dining room. There is also a menorah in the foyer. Don't worry- we didn't forget to decorate the outside of the house! The front balcony is decorated with lights, garland, and wreathes. Bekah Leake, a senior, painted our large, wooden AXΩ letters with a holiday theme. They look great and we placed them in the front yard!


With all the decorations up, we're ready and excited for this year's holiday season. Last night we had our annual Wacky Tacky Chrismukkah date function. There was food, dancing, and a bonfire. Everyone had a great time. The sisters of Alpha Chi Omega wish everyone a wonderful holiday season!
