Roses are red, violets are blue, and the girls in the castle wish a Happy Valentine’s Day to you!

 Last Thursday evening, the ladies of Rho kicked off the holiday weekend by organizing a sisterhood event.  Chapter members gathered in the dining room, decorated heart-shaped cookies and designed valentine cards for Phi Mu.  Every semester sororities on campus are paired with one another to do activities together and get to know each other better. Our sister sorority for the spring semester is Phi Mu.  After we were finished with the cookies and Valentine cards, we walked down Greek row and delivered the goodies.  We hope the members of Phi Mu enjoyed their sweet treats!

On Friday night, the Alpha Xi’s busted a move or two at the four-house Crush Dance.  The Jasmine Room, which is part of the Grand Manse, hosted a dance for Delta Gamma, Beta Theta Pi, Alpha Gamma Rho and Alpha Xi Delta.  Before the dance, several Rho members and their crushes went out for a nice Valentine’s date and then danced the night away with other members of the Greek community.

Finally, tonight’s Monday night dinner will have a few different faces attending.  Tonight is our Sweetheart Dinner where sisters are able to invite a sweetheart of their choice to eat dinner at the Chapter House.  Members will be bringing their boyfriends, friends, cousins and brothers.  We are looking forward to our Sweetheart Dinner so we can show off our favorite sweethearts.

We hope everyone enjoys their Valentine’s Day and has plenty of chocolate!

Xi Love, 

The Sweethearts of Rho

Alumnae Christmas Party

Collegiate members of Rho Chapter invited the families of alumnae to the chapter house on Dec. 9 for a Christmas celebration. Children of the alumnae decorated cookies and colored holiday pictures with the girls. One of Santa's elves also made a special appearance and delivered a bag full of presents. The Christmas party was a great opportunity for alumnae and current members to get to know each other and keep in touch. This is just one of many alumnae events held at Rho Chapter each year. 

Below are some of the memories made at this year's gathering for you to enjoy.

We hope everyone enjoyed the holidays!

A Castle Update!

Hello! It's been awhile!
In light of the holiday season and the passing of Halloween, I feel I should update you on all of our festive socials.

October 30th we were lucky enough to have the men of Tau Kappa Epsilon over to our house to carve pumpkins.  It was a really fun way to show off our pumpkin-carving skills, or lack there of, while dancing and chatting with the boys. Jenae succeeded!

November 1st we had more guests at the castle! The men of Alpha Gamma Rho joined us for dinner on that Monday, while some of our girls went to dine at their house.

We will then be at the Delray Ballroom from 9pm-1am dancing the night away! I am extremely excited to have our new initiates experience formal for the first time. It is truly one of the best times of the semester. Enjoy it girls!

GO BIG RED!

Alpha Xi Delta Wins "Cotton. From Blue to Green." Denim Drive!

Alpha Xi Delta challenged sororities Pi Beta Phi, Kappa Kappa Gamma and Phi Mu to a denim drive in support of Cotton, Inc.'s campaign, "Cotton. From Blue to Green." From Blue to Green is an initiative that collects denim products for the purpose of recycling them into insulation for homes. Many of the donations go toward insulating homes built by Habitat for Humanity. The Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) was chosen to administer the campaign on the UNL campus during the month of October. Since many Alpha Xi Deltas are leaders in PRSSA, we were able to use the competition as a way to get the Greek community involved with the campaign.

The total fundraising goal for the denim drive is 500 pairs of jeans. Alpha Xi Delta won the sorority competition and donated 105 pairs of denim jeans to Cotton, Inc.! 

Thank you for everyone who contributed to this effort!
