"I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where it was always June?" 

- L. M. Montgomery (ANNE OF GREEN GABLES)

As we enter the glorious month of June, we are reminded that every day is a gift from God. We welcome the rare perfect days...the clear blue skies, the warmth of the sun, and the lovely fragrance of flowers blooming all around us. May you remember the Symphony of Alpha Chi Omega - "to see beauty even in the common things in life". Enjoy the charm of this magical month...take time to connect with our Mu Mu sisters this summer on our lifelong journey to "Seek the Heights!" Happy June!

A blueberry picking event is in the works for July.

If you own a business or know a local business that would like to advertise in our annual 2023-2024 Mu Mu Directory, the deadline is July 15th. You also don’t have to have a business! Last year, we had several sisters support their favorite business or do a tribute ad honoring an AXO woman or chapter.

Full page ads are $45. Half page ads are $30. Design help is available. As an added benefit, AXO businesses are given great exposure on the Mu Mu website under ‘Sisters Shopping Sisters,’ our own network of Real, Strong Women.

Please contact Sheri Baldwin at [email protected] for more information.

We are still looking for board members to serve at VP-Communications and a VP-Finance in training. Please contact Bev Nichols, [email protected], if you are interested or have questions. We have a fun board group and work to make our board meetings efficient and respectful of your time. Thanks for your support!

Help us wish a happy birthday to our sisters born this month!

Elyse Noe

Phi (University of Kansas) ’19

Meet Elyse Noe, who has spent an exciting past year as Miss Kansas USA. We asked her to take a moment to reflect.

“The past year as Miss Kansas USA has been the most rewarding year of my life. I have traveled thousands and thousands of miles representing the beautiful state of Kansas, volunteering across the state, and impacting my community. I am proud to have represented Kansas as a Top 12 finalist at Miss USA with my dear Alpha Chi Omega sisters cheering me on in the audience. I am thankful for the strong bonds and friendships that I have made in Alpha Chi Omega that have inspired me to chase my dreams.”

Noe graduated with a degree in journalism from KU just one week after she won the title.

Same as Alpha Chi, her platform is domestic violence. She was a victim of childhood sexual abuse, and now she uses her advocacy to mentor young girls who have experienced similar trauma. “Part of my healing process is to talk about my experience with other people,” Noe said. “I’m really big on relationships, you know, just being open and being vulnerable.”

In the future, Elyse hopes to be an NFL sideline reporter. She has done boot camps with the Atlanta Falcons and the East West Shrine Bowl through the organization GALvanize, a media program dedicated to building confidence and sisterhood in women in sport, founded by KU alum and FOX Sports reporter Laura Okmin.

Help us recognize the impact our sisters are making in both the Kansas City and Alpha Chi Omega communities! Please visit our website or use the link below to update your volunteer hours monthly, or as often as possible. Thanks so much for all you do for both Alpha Chi Omega and our community!

If you know a sister that needs a kind word or pat on the back, please contact Denise Cook at [email protected].

Thanks to all that donated for our Mother’s Day bundles for residents of Rose Brooks. We had 26 gift bags that contained mints, candy, hand lotions, body wash, cosmetic bags, hair bonnets, sleep masks, a Mother’s Day card and a red carnation for each mom. Thanks so much for your support.

A very special event was enjoyed on May 16 by 14 enthusiastic guests at the lovely home of hostess Carla Mattson near the Canyon Farms Golf Club.

Carla started the event with welcoming cocktails. A devotee of all things china and crystal, she had lovingly arranged three eating areas with totally different tablescapes. Karen Blanks and Fran Denton were co-hostesses with an assist from Sheri Baldwin.

The annual Gamma ladies’ potluck salad luncheon included many delicious choices, with the highlights being cranberry chicken salad on freshly baked croissants, Ruth’s famous shrimp salad, Cobb salad, fruit skewers and lovely miniature desserts, some featuring AXO.

A hat was passed for a donation to McDowell. Donations totaled a generous $525.

Names were drawn for the gorgeous floral arrangements designed by Fran, and for several door prizes that included AXO notes and decorated birdhouses. Carnations in an angel lyre vase and desserts were delivered to president Bev Nichols since her recent hip surgery kept her from attending.

Twelve gathered on May 2 at Coach’s Bar & Grill on College Boulevard for some delicious pub fare. We welcomed winter out-of-towner Ann Dyniewicz, Alpha Nu (University of Missouri) ’62, back from her sunny lanai in Florida and one lucky member in the group is heading on an epic adventure to Iceland.

In honor of the recent collegians lost all too soon at Phi (University of Kansas), Omega (Baker University) and Gamma Zeta (Kansas State University), our resident author/poetess Charlotte Adelsperger, Alpha Zeta (Washington University-St. Louis) ’57 read the poem Upheld from her book When Your Child Hurts, shown here. Charlotte’s poem has been read at a number of memorial services nationwide.

This is exactly what we love about this group of women. Always something surprising and wonderful in store. Join us June 6!
