Recruitment Recommendations!

Summer is here, which means that fall sorority recruitment is right around the corner. For many colleges, sorority recommendations serve as an introduction for incoming freshman to the sorority chapters on their campus.

If you are an incoming college freshman from New England and are attending a school where sororities suggest an alumna recommendation for recruitment, please email us at bostonaoii@gmail.com. We ask that you contact us well in advance of the collegiate chapter/university deadlines so that we have adequate time in preparing the recommendation.

While it is not the norm for Northeast schools to require recommendations, we recognize the importance of these recommendations in other regions of the country. We are happy to help out and hope that everyone has a positive recruitment experience.

Get ready for the Boston Arthritis Walk!

Our team has been formed for the Boston Arthritis Walk on September 19th. I encourage you all to join our team and start fundraising this summer for our international philanthropy, Arthritis Research. Our team can be found here: Boston AOII. Family and friends are welcome, so encourage them to join you. There are numerous incentives to raise money for this cause, including special AOII prizes for giving levels of $250 or greater.

Congratulations, 2010-2011 Officers!

The following slate was approved by the membership at last night's meeting:


President: Lacey Bowman (Chi Delta, University of Colorado)
Vice President: Christina Pastorello (Delta, Tufts University)
Treasurer: Melissa Faubert (Delta, Tufts University)

Collegiate Liaison: Margi Scholtes (Delta, Tufts University)

We look forward to bringing future success to the chapter.

Summer Fun!

Laurel and I are scheming up some summer fun as our last hurrah as this year's Programming Co-Chairs! So far we've planned an evening of delicious ice cream at the Jimmy Fund's annual Scooper Bowl at City Hall Plaza (Tuesday, 6/8 from 6-8 pm). What else would you like to see us do this summer?

Exam Bag Ideas?

As we prep for Exam Bag stuffing at our next event, the question poses itself: what would you have loved to receive as a pre-exam treat? Recent bags have included Easy Mac, goldfish, Nutri Grain bars, jelly beans...
