Phi Chi SXM

Hey,

So, I have not been on the ball about updating this site.  I am sorry for that.  I guess classes have been getting me bogged down.  So here is an update.

Last semester Phi Chi helped out with Community Action Day.  CAD is a day that AUC students partake in once every couple semesters wherein we go help out with Diabetes screening, HIV Screening, Painting, and ICAN children’s home help.

This semester, we have 34 pledges!  Phi Chi is growing and will soon be the largest organization on campus!  Take that AMSA!

Pictures from past events.

On Sunday we held our rush event at Dr. Atchley’s house.  As per usual we had a great time and had a fantastic spread of food laid out for us.  Unfortunately the rain probably prevented some potential pledges from attending the event.  We still had a great time.  Thanks to all that came out!

We held our tri-annual Phi Chi/AMSA BBQ event last Saturday and it was a big success.  A lot of people came out and enjoyed the beautiful day on the beach.  Hopefully we will get some pledges out of this event, but it was a lot of fun either way.  Here are a few pictures from the event.

Hello guys,

My name is Ryan and I am taking over as Historian for Phi Chi and I will be posting periodically to chronicle the goings on of our chapter. Here are a few pictures that I inherited that have not yet been posted.

Yesterday student Organizations collaborated for Community Action Day. Phi Chi hosted the kayak / lagoon cleanup. Hard work but the locals were surely grateful for the beautification effort!

After a successful Wine and Cheese Party, the donated money was presented to the Yellow Cross of St. Martin at the last Phi Chi general meeting.

This weekend was the rush for this semester’s new comers. Great food, great company, and beautiful weather!

Phi Chi and AUC Honors Society jointly hosted this past semester’s Wine and Cheese event and Dr. Atchley’s house. Students, Professors, Staff, friends, and family dressed in their finest for the party, and the night turned out to be a resounding success.

I was having a hard time finding somewhere to renew my CPR certification and become PALS and ACLS certified in Chicago. I was happy to find CPR Associates, which was not only one of the cheaper places, but they also had a number of classes held during the week. This training center is approved by the American Heart Association. It is located at 2616 W. Peterson Ave., Chicago, 60659. The phone number is 773-973-6933 and the website is www.cprassociatesinc.com .

The pricing for the CPR class was $30 for people with non-expired cards and $35 for 1st time certification or expired cards. The courses for ACLS and PALS cost $189 each for first time certification, which includes lunch (very important). I just thought for those of you in the Chicagoland area this may be helpful.

Several weeks ago was Phi Chi’s 2009 Heineken Regatta boat trip. I can personally attest to fun that was had by all who attended. Of course, much thanks to Dan and others who organized the trip. Pictures will come soon!
