Dressing for the Derby

Here at Mizzou Alpha Phi, we have many socials and one of our favorites is Formal. Formal is always at the end of the school year and is a great way to create great memories with sisters before people part ways for the summer.

This year, the theme was Kentucky Derby and was held at Peach Tree Catering and Banquet Center. All of the Alpha Phis looked classy in their dresses and hats and our dates looked handsome in their bow ties. 

Formal was the last social of the school year and therefore the last social that seniors will attend. It was a social full of sentiment. We are sad that our wonderful seniors will be leaving soon, but remember "It's not four year, it's for life."

A Phi Takes 5th in Greek Week

Mizzou Alpha Phi along with the men of Phi Kappa Theta and Alpha Gamma Sigma took 5th place in Greek Week!

This year, each pairing got a different movie as their theme and ours was “Avatar”.  In our skit, we went all out. Along with getting third place overall in FLING, we got best costumes, best backdrops and props, and best actor! 

Another major accomplishment this Greek Week was winning first in the basketball tournament!  The tournament was full of fierce competition, but after many games and a lot of hard work, we got the gold.

No Greek Week games would be complete without a large crowd and lots of spirit sticks to cheer on all of our sisters.

Although placing well is an added bonus, participating in various service events is what makes Greek Week important. It is giving back to the community that is the most rewarding of all.

We had a great time working hard for a cause this Greek Week and we are so happy that all of our hard work paid off!

2014 Mom's Weekend

This weekend, we were excited to welcome our mothers to Columbia for a weekend of fun, friends, and family! Mom’s weekend is a great way for mothers to get to visit with their daughters, meet their daughters’ friends, and learn more about Alpha Phi.

The weekend started off on Friday evening at Harpo’s Bar and Grill for dinner. It was a great start to the weekend because the moms could sit and visit with their daughters, while meeting new people.

On Saturday, we enjoyed beautiful, sunny weather at Serenity Valley Winery. There were tables by the lake, food and a live band. It was a great time and the beautiful scenery was perfect for pictures!

On Sunday morning, there was a brunch at the Alpha Phi house. During the brunch, the mothers got to eat delicious food that was prepared by our wonderful kitchen staff. There were tables set up outside for eating and vendors in the house selling cute clothing and jewelry.

Overall, it was a great weekend! Thank you to all of the moms and families that came to Columbia this weekend!

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!
