Re: Extra Info on Walkathon - Alpha Phi Omega

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

ANYONE who lives near a college/university should call and see if

they have Alpha Phi Omega on campus. I was president of my chapter

jr. year of college and it is a co-ed service fraternity. Community

service is the name of the game and by joining they commit to doing a

certain number of hrs/semester. Also, sororities and fraternities

need to do a certain number of hours per semester and you might pick

up volunteers or a walker (any other Alpha Chi Omega's out there?)

Anyone in MA is welcome to join our walk! We have at least 3

families so far! Walk, walk, walk!!!

Girl with Attitude! 9/21 has ENT, Genetics and Endo appt...keep

fingers crossed for weight and height!!!!
