Spring Rush 2010 Starts Today!

Hi girls!

The ladies of Alpha Delta Chi are so excited that you are considering rushing our sorority! The first event starts tonight and it is an informational BBQ at 6pm at our house (1207 W. 29th St). If you need help getting to the house, there will be an active waiting at the Lyon Center at 5:45pm to walk over with you, or if you would prefer a ride, there will be a car at EVK at 5:45pm to drive girls over-- just look for the AΔX sweaters! Remember to check out the facebook event if you have any questions: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=221149529867

Absence makes the heart grow fonder...

Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of updates these past few months. We'll be back in January with news about the Spring 2010 semester and the new iota class!

Have a blessed Christmas break!

Hollywood and A-D-CHighland!

I am happy to report that the pledge party was a smashing success!! All of the pictures are here, but here's a few good uns:

Disclaimer: It was Hollywood-themed. That may help explain these.

We were graced by Sunset Blvd (whosits and whatsits galore, on the left) and a Palm Tree (Heather)



Some of our bros in AGO dressed up as the cast of Anchorman, complete with a Veronica Corningstone. But it's cool, we don't judge :)


We congratulate the Etas on their awesome party! It was super fun and then they cleaned everything up! Yay!

the pledge party approaches!

As I type, the Etas are downstairs making the house look AMAZING for our pledge party! They have been baking since *last night* (!) and putting decorations up since the afternoon. There is a red carpet through our door, stars all over the living room, and a screen set up in the back for scene it (it's a board/tv game) and/or a movie. Yay!

Speaking of last night - if you get the Trojans Alert on your email or phone, then you know there was a shooting an subsequent police activity in the USC area last night. There was a police perimeter set up, and our house was about a block outside of it (and then more as the perimeter shrunk). It was kind of scary but God kept us and all of our sisters safe. Praise Him! We continue to pray for our area, and we try to help out by volunteering at places like Adventures Ahead. Our principal ministry, besides building each other up, is to the other sorority houses at USC. They need God's love so much and we are blessed to be able to serve them however possible! But we can also have a positive impact on our community. God is so powerful!

And lastly - check out the 'Cornify' button on the ribbon on the right. A friend showed me that today and since I'm the webmaster, well, I get to put it there! Enjoy :)

dinner with the bro's

Last Monday, we had dinner with Alpha Gamma Omega, our brother fraternity! We chowed down on some delicious thanksgiving-esque food - turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, salad, and even pie! We were entertained by both house's pledges (pictures on picasa - see link on right) and had a devotional time led by our Devotional Chair and their Chaplain, about pride.

And then all chaos broke loose as our social vp's announced that our houses were embarking on an epic game of Assassins!! Everyone is assigned a person to 'kill' (you kill them by grabbing their elbow and saying "you're toast"), and when you kill your person, you acquire their target. Of course, times like Tuesday Night Worship, church, sleeping, etc are off-limits. But make no mistake - we are cutthroat. Some members have perished (myself included.... *sigh*) but we hope to regain the title as we did last year when katie/'fancypants' brought home the gold!

We are blessed to have a good and supportive relationship with our brother fraternity. Recently, they have been under criticism for their stance on homosexuality, as well as the targets of vandalism on their porch and house. So please keep them in your prayers as well, that God will reassure them of why they're on this campus, and that they will remember to "stand firm in the faith; be men of courage" (1 Cor. 16:13)

Other than that, songfest practice is going well! If you'd like to come (it's April 17th) please send us an email *now* (or at least before Monday). Contact adx@usc.edu, and we'll direct you to the right person. Tickets are $15. God Bless!

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!
