Welcome back, 2010 Rho Gammas! We missed you!
From Recruitment and sisterhood events to football games and socials, this semester has been a busy one for the ladies of Chi Omega! In August, we welcomed an incredible new member class with a beach-inspired Bid Day celebration at Kahuna Grille.
This semester, our chapter was chosen to participate in the Nancy Walton Laurie Leadership Institute of Chi Omega. Psi Mu was thrilled to receive this great honor and enjoyed a day of valuable training in conflict management and decision-making skills.
Homecoming 2010 was a blast with the gentleman of Kappa Sigma and Zeta Beta Tau! For this year’s Knights on the Big Screen, our team chose a Disney favorite, “Aladdin,” as our theme. Winning second place overall was the perfect end to an amazing week of fun and UCF spirit!

Chi Omega’s 58th Biennial Convention was held this summer right here in Orlando. Sisters from all over the country came together for a week full of workshops, sisterhood, food and fun!
Psi Mu, along with the Upsilon Beta chapter from nearby Rollins College, took on the role of host chapters for all Chi Omegas attending. As part of our hosting duties, our chapter president, Annie Rae Roeding (PC ’07), was asked by the Governing Council to say grace at the first night’s welcome dinner.
Joining Annie at the Convention workshops were our chapter’s Treasurer, Alisha Mays (PC ’08), and Vice President, Anne Wilsen (PC ’07).

Psi Mu was honored with two awards at this year’s Convention. The first was an honorable mention in the highest amount of dollars raised through Persephone’s Circle, a scholarship fund for collegiate Chi Omegas. The second was an Award of Excellence in Financial Management.
Many members of our chapter were able to get involved with Convention as volunteers, or by attending a special ceremony in which our 300,000th sister was initiated.
“Meeting women from other chapters who shared the same values I did was comforting. Convention reaffirmed my belief that all Chi Omegas are sisters, whether you have met them or not, and this organization is truly something wonderful to be a part of.” – Annie Rae Roeding
On April 5, our sisters gathered for Eleusinia – our annual Founder’s Day celebration and banquet. But this year’s event also contained an exciting announcement: Sarah Jackson (PC ’06) has received the honor of being named a 2010-2011 National Consultant for Chi Omega! Sarah, one of just 13 sisters chosen from across the country, will spend the next year traveling to other Chi Omega chapters, assisting with recruitment and other programming.

Outside of Chi O, she was a member of the Panhellenic Recruitment Executive Board (2009), as well as the Rho Lambda and Order of Omega honor societies. Sarah will graduate this Spring with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Women’s Studies.
Sarah, Psi Mu could not possibly be more proud of you! We wish you the best of luck in your travels! ♥
