A-L-P-H-A, C-H-I....Want to be, got to be, an ALPHA CHI!

Today I'm thankful for....MY SISTERS!
Growing up as an only child I always wanted a sister – mostly because my Dad wasn’t the best at playing barbies (sorry Dad). I even enlisted the help of Santa Claus! More times than I’m sure my parents can count, the word SISTER was written in big bold letters at the top of my Christmas list, but the closest thing I ever got to a sister was a wiener dog named Roxanne…Fast forward several years, and like most college students I made the choice to go Greek and join a sorority! The day I was inducted into Alpha Chi Omega is still one of the proudest moments of my life. I may not have had blood related siblings, but that day I joined a group of incredible women who I still proudly call SISTER.
Through good times and bad, breakups and marriages, fashion faux pas and “beyotch stole my look,” I can always rely on my sisters to have my back no matter what. Alpha Chi gave me the sisterhood I longed for, and for that I am beyond thankful.
Sweet sentiment, but how does this tie into fashion you ask? Weeeell, since it’s Fall and Alpha Chi's colors just so happen to be holiday favorites - scarlet red and olive green  (chosen to commemorate its fall founding) check out the stylish pieces below for a quick dash of Alpha Chi inspired fab!
