Another year has begun in the Beta Omega Kappa Alpha Theta chapter house at Colorado College. The incoming pledge class has been initiated and new job positions have been distributed.

I have some ideas on how to strengthen the relationship between our chapter and alums. I am in the process of writing bios on all 60 girls in the house. I believe it is important that you know the new girls who are coming into the house, as well as the seniors that are leaving the house when they graduate. I would also love to create a “Theta Sweetheart” dinner. This would be an event where the alums are provided dinner for them and their “sweethearts”, i.e. husband, boyfriend, best friend, etc. While this dinner is occurring, the active members would be taking care of the alumnae’s children and providing them with snacks and activities, etc. If this event is successful, it could spawn into a once a month activity where the alumnae could drop off their children at the Theta house for an evening and have the actives care for them. I would also love to start an “adopt-a-pledge” program in which the alumnae would “adopt” a new member and write them letters telling them about their experiences in Theta and how much they meant, cook them dinner, or any other type of mentoring activity.

I have many ideas that I will try to turn into activities to help connect the actives with the alums. I would love to hear any ideas, comments, or questions you might have, so please do not hesitate to contact me. Due to the fact that there are so many Theta alumnae, I have created an email account specifically for the purpose of corresponding with you. If you would like to receive further information about the CC chapter of Theta, please email me at I_Love_Theta@hotmail.com and let me know so I can contact you in the future.

Thank you so much for your time and I hope that we can build a stronger relationship in the future to further benefit Theta and what she stands for.

Theta Love and Mine.
