Fall 2018 Quarter Newsletter

Fall is the season when all the hard work are rewarded. Sisters at the University of Chicago Associate Chapter are proud of presenting you what we have accomplished in the past 10 weeks. As the year of 2018 is also coming to an end, we hope that you have made many achievements and reached your goals.

BCA has always been one of the most important annual events. This year, 14 other Greek organizations participated in our campaign. All of our sisters worked hard on contacting sponsors, planning and organizing events, and advocating the campaign. Through diverse methods of fundraising and fun activities like spicy food challenge and raffle ticket sales, the Chapter raised more than $5,000 dollars for our philanthropical cause, which makes us the Chapter with third highest amount raised for BCA according to the data from last year, while promoting breast cancer awareness around campus. This year's BCA has been very successful, and we really appreciate the efforts of Vice President of Service Lucy "Eirene" Wang for putting up such an amazing campaign.

This quarter, our chapter successfully crossed the Fall 2018 class, Xi X-WOMEN. In the 6-week long process, we witnessed how strong-minded and hardworking they are, which leads us to believe that they will be great addition to our chapter. On December 5th, the girls were officially installed into the active house. Can't wait to see what they will achieve throughout their activehood!
