The Bid Day party was held at the home of Devyn Statler. Her parents were so kind and generous to open their home to so many girls. They did an amazing job and the girls had a lot of fun. They played volleyball, jumped on bounce houses and tie-dyed shirts. Their theme was "New Bids on the Block". Everything was very 80's neon. Too Cute!

Thanks to alumnae Sarah Murphy, Megan Morris, Micha Gairhan, Ashlyn Kohler, MaryBeth Dunlap, Mackenzie Sims and Leah Brock for showing up at the Bid Day Party! The girls really appreciate it.



Amazing Singers

We had some amazing singers at pref night this year. Thought I would share them with you.



Firedrill 2011...

A funny thing happened yesterday during pref night. Between party 1 and 2 the fire alarm went off in University Hall. Everyone had to evacuate the dorm in their lovely cocktail dresses and heels. AOII, AGD, DZ and XO decided to take a gigantic group photo. *By the way, it was Chi O that set their trashcan on fire. Too funny!*

Pref Night 2011....Absolutely Amazing!

Thank you to all the alumnae (20+) that participated in pref night. You all made the night so special. Sorry I didn't get a picture of everyone.

Dressing up Recruitment

These days recruitment is so different than the way most of us remember it. ASU's campus has adopted the "no frills" motto to describe recruitment. That means no over the top decorations or themes or skit night. It's been an adjustment but the girls have been pushing through. This year the girls are able to have (4) 4'x6' brag boards in the suite and one in the hallway. They have picked out beautiful fabric to cover the boards in and have added some fun details as well. They are so cute and classy that I thought I might share them with you.

This is the design for the hand fans. In the past the potential new members where just given a sheet of paper with the expenses printed on it. (Very Boring)

Since it is always extrememly HOT in the suite during recruitment the girls have come up with the fabulous idea of the hand fans with information printed on them. So cute, just had to share with you all.

This is the design for the water bottle labels. The girls will be passing out bottled water on Information Night and Preference Night. (Coca-Cola on Philanthropy Night)

Money and Food needed for Recruitment

Fall recruitment 2010 is fast approaching. This year will be a little bit different than years in the past. There will be two nights of "Information Night" instead of one. Thursday, September 9th and Friday, September 10th are "Info Nights". Saturday, September 11th is "Philanthropy Night". Sunday, September 12th is "Preference Night". Bid Day will be Monday, September 13th.

The alumnae chapter is in need of funds to supply the girls with food and drinks for the week of recruitment. We normally supply dinner for Information Night and Philanthropy Night as well as lunch for Philanthropy Night. We also try to supply soft drinks and water for the entire week. As many of you know, the suite gets incredibly hot so we try our best to keep the girls hydrated.

If you are able to donate anything (money, food, drinks, mints, etc.) please let me know. You can call me at (870) 930-7584 or email me at linzburnett@hotmail.com.
You can make checks out to Lindsay Burnett (I will purchase drinks and food with your donations).
