Way back in 1885, 7 lovely ladies really hit it off. Bertha, Estelle, Anna, Nellie, Bessie, Olive, and Amy were killing it when they founded this sorority. Alpha chi omega’s members are “real, strong, women” who are committed to helping others while trying to make a better life for themselves.

By living by these values we strive to have a happy, healthy life.

1. One must see “beauty even in the common things of life”

Noticing and appreciating how beautiful and perfect this world is one of the most important aspects of living a happy life.

2. You need “to shed the light of love and friendship” around yourself

Surround yourself with people who spread positive vibes and exclude all of the negativity and drama from your life.

3. Make sure you keep your life in tune with the world

The world does not revolve around you. Every decision and thing you say can affect others. So stay kind, and be aware of everything that is happening.

4. Strike on the lyre of the universe only notes of happiness, of joy, of peace

All of the feelings you get around Christmas time should last throughout the entire year! Maybe that’s why our colors are scarlet red and olive green! (no that’s not the reason.)

5. To appreciate every service rendered

Be appreciative of every kind act that someone does for you.

6. Be appreciative “of all that is noble in another"

Compliments make anyone’s day better! Trust me. Try not to be jealous of the things others may have. But appreciate them.

7. Remain unselfish, be sincere and strike the chords of love

Love one another, be kind, be understanding and everything will work itself out.

8. Together you will seek the heights

Be adventurous and take risks, and together you can do great things.
