Alpha Phi Welcomes New Sisters

Many fun activities took place last week for the Spring 2014 initiation.

The new pledge class had a Big/Little Reveal on Tuesday. The bigs went out and bought funny socks for their littles to wear. The bigs then set up in the basement and held up a sheet, so that all the new members would see when they walked in were socks. The littles found the socks that matched the ones they had been given and when the sheet dropped, their bigs’ faces were revealed. This was a new way of doing Big/Little reveal for Omicron and it was a lot of fun.

Also on Tuesday, a flower ceremony was held in which the bigs said three qualities that their littles bring to Alpha Phi and were given a flower.

All of this was a lead-up to initiation. On Saturday, Alpha Phi Omicron initiated 23 wonderful new members to our chapter. After initiation, many new members got a chance to meet their pledge families over dinner. Congratulations to all of the new members and welcome to the family!

Alpha Phi Takes Third Place in RAMS

Rocking Against Multiple Sclerosis, more commonly known as RAMS, is a Greek fundraising competition that is held every year. RAMS made $65,000 towards Multiple Sclerosis and Mizzou Alpha Phi placed third in the competition. Our chapter is extremely proud of placing third in the overall competition, but even more proud to know that we helped raise money for such an important cause.

Alpha Phi participated in RAMS through a service day, comedy night, trivia night and more. One of our favorite RAMS events is Rock It, a lip syncing and dance competition. Our theme for Rock It was the Alpha Phi Dolls, where our dancers performed to various songs by the Pussycat Dolls.

Rocking Against Multiple Sclerosis is something that Mizzou Alpha Phi is really proud to be a part of. Senior Vanessa Hays took her dedication to this competition even further by serving on the RAMS Steering Committee.
