Delta Omicron Turns 50!

Last night I had the honor of joining with the collegiate chapter I advise in celebrating their 50th anniversary on the Portland State Campus.

The night was truly memorable for so many reasons:

1) The food was generally awful, but made much more tolerable by my dining companions... and the delicious tiramisu with hand made (by one of the other alumni) chocolate lyres.



2) I almost made it through an entire section of public speaking with out crying.... Almost....



3) Being in a room surrounded by so many amazing Alpha Chi Omega women is always a memorable, worthwhile experience. Especially when I get to brag about the amazing women I work with.



All and all it was a fun evening and a wonderful experience.

Happy 50th Birthday Delta Omicron!

... At Least for the Moment

2011 has been busy.

Not like "I never get to sit down and I have no time for anything in my life" busy, but busy all the same.

I'm not working right now, which is totally fine with me. I have so much going on in my non-work life that trying to work right now wouldn't work. I am traveling a lot, going to the doctor a lot, and Alpha Chi keeps me plenty busy these days.

I love what I do. I love being an advisor. I love helping with the financial stuff. I wish there was a way I could just do Alpha Chi stuff full-time forever and not have to work. It's so much more fun.

This weekend is Leadership Academy in Indianapolis. I am SO looking forward to finally putting a name with a face. I've spent a long time working with so many of these women, and have never met them in person. Plus I never got to experience Leadership Academy in college, so this is my first one. I can't wait to get that "bigger picture" feeling that so many talk about when you are surrounded by that many Alpha Chi's. I'm also hoping to hunt down Delta Lambda and see what kind of things my home chapter are up to these days.

Anyways, this means that this week my life is full of shopping and cleaning and packing. All the stuff one does before a big trip. Then I have to be at the airport on Friday at 4:30am! Yeah, not a morning person and I hate to fly. This could be a really interesting experience. Hopefully the two wonderful Delta Omicron women that are attending with me will be able to handle the experience.

Life is under control right now, at least for the moment.
