| Please take a minute and see if you are current on your Mu Mu dues. We are trying to reach our stretch membership goal of 140 and need your support by mid-January. Our membership year runs from August 1st to July 31st. We invite you to become a dues-paying member for the 2025-2026 year! Last year we had 103 dues paying members. We are currently at 96. Please help us achieve that goal and join us at our programs and events. It’s amazing connecting with sisters from so many different collegiate chapters. Annual dues cover national per capita dues, operating expenses, convention/ province fees, and provide support for the 7 Kansas and Missouri Collegiate Chapters we support, along with the National Fraternity and various Alpha Chi Omega causes. Thank you in advance for supporting Mu Mu by paying your membership dues! |

Aqua blue ceramic tipped in gold, it measures 5” tall. Winner to be announced at our White Elephant event on January 22, 2026. Must be present to win, please. |

Do you know an outstanding woman whom you think would make a great Alpha Chi Omega? Women we’ve welcomed through this program have included our friends, family members, coworkers, campus professionals and other women who have made a difference in their communities, in their professions and in the lives of others. Alpha Chi Omega shapes the future through the powerful, transformative and everlasting connections of real, strong women. The National Alumna Initiate Program (NAIP) extends our membership experience to real, strong women in our communities who identify with the mission and values of Alpha Chi and care about our philanthropic initiatives, who did not have the opportunity to join Alpha Chi Omega as a collegiate member. Please let us know if you have a friend, family or neighbor that you think would make a great Alpha Chi Omega.
Contact Bev Nichols at [email protected] for more information.

| Phi (University of Kansas) ’94 |
|
Six Phi alums met in Austin from December 5 to 7 for a 32-year pledge class reunion since their pledge class "walk-out" in the Fall of 1993. They had a wonderful time catching up, shopping, eating and, of course, going to a Jackopierce concert, a band that was very popular in Lawrence when they went to school. |

|
| Mu Mu sisters from over 10 collegiate chapters celebrated the start of the holiday season with our annual cookie exchange on Thursday, December 4. Many thanks to our hostess, Amy Tonyes, and all the sisters that helped make our evening so special! |

|
| On December 2, our first snow day when many schools were closed, 10 intrepid sisters met at Harvey’s at Union Station for delicious bites. We raised a toast to our 2025-26 Mu Mu Woman of the Year, Carla Mattson, Alpha Nu (University of Missouri) ’68, a well-deserved choice.
Instead of letters to Santa, we wrote holiday cards to surprise sisters we haven’t seen much this year. Treats included AX ornament favors and chocolates. We were delighted to notice the tables already had red carnation decorations. |
