Double philanthropy weekend!

ADX sisters had a chance to participate in two philanthropy events this weekend! Four drove to San Luis Obispo to participate in our Mu chapter's Dodgeball Tournament, which raises money for Lifewater International. Although the day was overcast, and although we came in dead last, we had an awesome time! We got to talk to our recently-founded Mu chapter - they're like us only a few years ago! Like several Alpha Delta Chi chapters, they are not recognized by their school administration because they are a Christian sorority. This means they can't put up any posters on campus, or advertise their events. So please keep them in your prayers - that they won't be discouraged by this, and that God uses them to bless the CalPoly campus with or without the school's recognition.

If you're wondering, we are recognized through USC's Office of Religious Life - which is a great blessing for us. At our Pi chapter (CU Boulder), and ADX sister won "Miss Greek" last year, and our Sigma chapter (Georgia Tech) won an award for philanthropy. God is using ADX to impact our campuses, and though it's easier to do with recognition and a welcoming administration, God can do things we think are impossible!

The Ladychi's who stayed in Los Angeles danced the night away at Dance Marathon (see earlier post). Pictures coming soon!

Broomball with our brothers

On Friday, we played broomball with our brothers at the Alpha chapter of Apha Gamma Omega (at UCLA). We ate some cookies and played our darnedest! It was encouraging to know that God's love is being spread to other students in LA through their house. We're also having an exchange with our own Alpha chapter (also at UCLA) later this semester. But don't worry, we're not going all soft - we went back to being suspicious of anything UCLA-related on Saturday :)

late night pancakes for dance marathon!

Dance Marathon is a philanthropy at USC that raises money for the Los Angeles Children's Hospital. ADX is forming a team for the second time this year - and we're so excited! To raise money for our team, we had a pancake breakfast at Alpha Gamma Omega (our brother fraternity) last Wednesday. At $5 per person for unlimited deliciousness, we raised $486.51! (yeah I don't really understand how that was not a multiple of $5 but whatever, we'll take it) And the best part, we had an awesome time doing it!

God has blessed us with awesome opportunities to get involved on our campus, and we are blessed to have support (like all the people who came for waffles!). Songfest practice continues as well. If you would like to donate to our Dance Marathon team, please email adx@usc.edu

a weekend away

This post is a little late... but a few weeks ago, the sisters of Alpha Delta Chi went to Newport Beach for the weekend, for our Devotional Retreat. We were fabulously hosted by Christine's family there, and had a chance to get away from school and focus on God! We were led by our Devotional Chair, Jenna, and had a great time!

Jenna (foreground) is our fearless leader, as Ashlee (with the guitar) leads worship. And whities Lindy and Danielle stay in the shade so they don't get sunburned


And I'm not entirely sure what's going on in this one, but Janeen's having a lot of fun I think (maybe Jennie under the blanket?)


And just a reminder - you can check out tons more pictures on our Picasa account by following the link on the top right (under the "Links" section)

an ADX Murder Mystery!

Last weekend, the sisters of ADX came together to solve a MURDER! And bond, eat delicious food, and have a few of them dress up. The event was put together by the lovely Theresa, for the big sis-little sis bonding event.

Here is Theresa (left) reading the script as (l to r) Loni, Noelle, and Diana play their parts...
