Alpha Chi Omega at UNH: initiation

Baskets

After the bigs got their paddles, it was time to give the littles their baskets. They all lied down on the floor with their eyes covered, waiting for their baskets. We counted to three and then they all opened their eyes to find an amazing basket in front of them.

Paddles

After enjoying our initiation and the brunch that followed, the chapter headed up to the chapter room to see the paddles. Each of the newest members hid their paddles and then revealed it to the entire chapter and their big one at a time. The paddles all came out so well and all of the bigs were so happy to receive them. After the paddles were given to the bigs, the newest members presented a craft that they made for each senior.

Initiation Brunch

Today, we were so happy to initiate 12 of our new members into Alpha Chi Omega. After initiation, we came back to a brunch prepared by our VP Fraternal Relations, Paige Fagan. The brothers of Sigma Alpha Epsilon served the lifetime members and the 12 newest lifetime members. Everyone spent time with their families and waited for the paddle and basket exchange later in the day.
