Mu Tau Mu of Alpha Chi Omega

Alpha Chi Omega Foundation will be featured as the Charity of the Day on GoodSearch.com on 7/16!

GoodSearch.com is a new search engine that donates half its revenue to the charities its users designate.   You use it just as you would any search engine, and it's powered by Yahoo!, so you get great results. Just go to http://www.goodsearch.com and be sure to enter Alpha Chi Omega as the charity you want to support.   Just 1000 people searching two times a day will raise about $7300 in a year without any of you spending a dime!

The Pi Beta Phi Foundation has already earned more than $400 though GoodSearch while so far the Alpha Chi Omega Foundation has earned nearly $50.

With close to 200,000 members, the potential to raise considerable funds is huge!   Please spread the word to all the sisters and alumni of your local chapter so they can begin searching on behalf of the Alpha Chi Omega Foundation.

Best,

We are very proud to report that Mu Tau Mu is a finalist for two national awards that will be given out at Alpha Chi Omega Convention later this month in Chicago: in the Seeking the Heights Awards, we are finalist in the Membership Outreach category; and in the Special Recognition Awards, we could win in the Creative Idea category! This is amazing recognition for our very young chapter! To read our awards application, visit our private site. Thank you to everyone in MTM who helped with the writing and editing of our application!

Congratulations to Zeta Upsilon chapter for being a finalist in the Alpha Chi Omega National "Seeking the Heights" Awards in the Philanthropy category. The winner will be announced at the Foundation Luncheon at AXO Convention, Monday, July 17th. Great job, ladies!

From Amy B, the co-Chapter Advisor:

Once again, the ZY Advisory Board is looking for a few good alums.   Due to some unfortunate circumstances we have many advisory positions to fill.   We have an advisor moving to Oklahoma City, one to Chicago and a couple others who are feeling the crunch of work and family and are finding it hard to find the time to volunteer.   Right now, we have the following advisor positions open:

Membership Development
Intellectual Development
Communications
Panhellenic
Risk Management
Education

If you know of anyone who is (or if you are):

1. a Zeta Upsilon alumna who has been out of the chapter for at least 5 years, or a Cleveland area alumna who doesn't have ties to this chapter (so that personal friendships don't get in the way of the hard decisions); and

2. willing to advise and get involved but also understands that the girls need to take charge of their own decisions (in other words, who will advise and not mandate); and

3.   willing to take the extra step and contact the girls when you don't hear from them (because sometimes they aren't all that good at initiating conversations or asking for help),

please write to us at axozu@yahoo.com and we'll pass your information along to the chapter advisors. Thank you!

For those of you interested in the upcoming National Council election, two documents recently became available and can be viewed on our private site or at http://www.alphachiomega.org/members_only/convention_mo.asp. The first is Campaign Protocols - here - and the second Election Procedures - here.
