 February has been a very busy month here at the Castle!

On Saturday, February 4th, Alpha Xis and their mothers braved the winter storms to have a great Mom's Day.  We went to the Lied Center to watch Mamma Mia.  It was so much fun, and everyone had a great time dancing and singing along to the ABBA hits.

The next week held many Valentine's Day festivities.  On the 9th, we had our annual Alumnae Valentine's Day party.  Alumnae and their children stopped by the house to decorate heart shaped cookies and make valentines.

The following weekend the ladies of Alpha Xi Delta had a great time cutting a rug at the Crush Dance with the gentlemen of Pi Kappa Alpha.  Everyone looked spectacular and had a great time dancing the night away with their crushes.

Looking good!
