Mu Tau Mu of Alpha Chi Omega

Please join us in cheering on our CWRU Alpha Chi Omega sisters as they participate in some grueling athletic events to raise money for great causes!

Kudos to Michel ZU '84 being part of the Susan G. Komen Cleveland 3-Day for the Cure, which kicked off this morning. Donate here or cheer her on in person - visit a cheering station this weekend - listed here. 

Bravo to Yvonne ZU '99 for competing in her first Iron Man tomorrow in Santa Rosa, CA to raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Donate here or cheer her on as she completes the 140.6 mile course!!

Thanks for making us proud!!

We'll have 2-3 more posts about Alpha Chi Omega Convention, including an official report on the business conducted there, but we wanted to share the Mu Tau Mu - Zeta Upsilon news right away!

First a little bragging: Congratulations to us (Mu Tau Mu) on doing so well in the alumnae chapter awards! We were a Finalist for the 2010 Alumnae Chapter National Council Trophy!

Mu Tau Mu also won the inaugural Domestic Violence Outreach Award for our 2009 Twitter #CharityTuesday project (more on that soon, so proud!). We were also finalists in these alumnae chapter award categories:

PACE (Promoting Alpha Chi Everyday)

Fine Arts

Increased Membership

Sisterhood

Communications

Special Event (for ZU's 25th Anniversary Silver Carnation Ball)

Membership Outreach

Collegiate Support - Distance Chapter

Foundation

We also had two "firsts" for Zeta Upsilon at this Convention: our first Convention Page (Chelsea) and our first member of the Convention Choir (Karen T).

(In this photo of the Convention Pages with National President Marsha Grady, Chelsea is second from left in the front row.)

(In this Convention Choir photo, Karen is in the front row on the far right.)

We are very proud of all of our awards and recognition, but in nothing are we more proud than we are of the strong friendships we share. Truly the best part of Convention is getting to see sisters! We had a table full of Zeta Upsilons for Reunion Night Dinner Saturday and were lucky to have 16 of us together at Reunion Night Part 2 hosted by alumna Nikki. Thank you Nikki and everyone who attended. We had a wonderful evening together.

Thank you Andrea ZU '04 for all the amazing photos! We are getting an incredible catalog of the recent history of the chapter in the file cabinet on our private site. Andrea's contributions begin here... and include over 40 photos!! Thank you!

A huge thanks to Candice ZU '03 for posting her photos documenting the chapter's history on our private site!! There must be at least 50 of them... starting here.

Our planning for September's Silver Carnation Ball is well underway! To see an update on the details visit here. There's a new version of the lost list and a list of sisters for whom we need email addresses.... plus here you'll find baby updates from 2 sisters Tannis ZU '95 and Anne ZU '98 and some preliminary RSVPs!
