There's nothing like the feel of a fresh start brought by the start of a new year, BUT, 2012 is definitely a year to remember for the sisters of Alpha Sigma Tau. The Psi chapter not only added a new position to its executive board, Sisterhood Development chair, but also raised over $9000 for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, co-hosted famous speaker David Stollman with JMU’s Panhellenic council, attended National Convention, got 2nd place during Greek Week, had a full house for our Mr. Fraternity Pageant at Grafton-Stovall Theater, sold over 300 tickets for our Color 5k with Delta Sigma Phi, had our first annual sisterhood retreat, was selected as a Pilot chapter by Nationals, met up with the AST Chi chapter for Founder’s Day, created an alumni database, said goodbye to unforgettable seniors and welcomed amazing new members. After such a successful year, it’s only appropriate to dedicate the first blog post of 2013 to the everlasting memories made in 2012, after all, 2013 has some big shoes to fill! ;)
Check out some of our sisters’ favorite memories below!
