Hello again!
I again apologize about the delay in updates. We have had an extremely busy few weeks, full of interest meetings, rituals, Greek Week planning and practices and visits from our EC. We are so excited about all of the great changes coming to AST, and we are all really hoping you are as well.

I am just going to pick up where I left off from my last update and fill you in from there. This is going to be a long update, so be warned. :D

Our first new member class of this semester has now been pinned, they are on their 5th week of new member classes, and they just recently found out who their Big sisters were. Our Recruitment chair has been doing an amazing job and we had two more interest meetings last week, and we handed out 3 bids with 2 girls able to accept, who will be pinned this Thursday before the business meeting.  This puts our total members up to 31 girls, which is an amazing number, and we are still going for quality girls, not quantity!

Greek Sing dance practices are in full swing. Our choreographers are working so hard to make sure we are on top of our game, so we can perform to our best. Teams are getting practices are underway and we are hoping that this Greek Week we have a great chance at placing higher than we have!

The past two days, we have had an amazing Educational Consultant here with us. She has helped us out a lot and given us great ideas. It has also led to some changes with out Exec Board. Collegiate Alumae Liason as well as our Panhellenic Delegate are now Exec positions. Also, since our chapter has grown so much recently, she wanted no one doubling up on executive positions. Therefore, we have made some changes. Amber Payne is still our fabulous president, Jessica Chernutan is now VP, Hannah Clark is Secretary, Kacie Collins is Risk Mangement, Alisha Newcomb is New Member Director, Kaila Bray is our PanHellenic Delegate, I have taken over the position as Treasurer, and the Collegiate Alum Liason position is now open for Nominations. I will be handling the positon until someone new is elected. These changes have been made in the best interest of the sorority, and will allow us to function so much better as a group.

We are really excited about everything that has been happening, and we hope that all of you are as excited as we are. :D

Tau Love and even more of mine,
Julie♥
