Xi Man

With the semester coming to a close, Alpha Xi Delta wanted to have one more event to give back to the community. All of the money that we have raised this year is going to the Ada School District to help fund new programs, supplies, and give the teacher a gift for all of their hard w
ork. Each year, Alpha Xi throws a male beauty pageant called Xi Man. There are three different parts of this competition, walk, talent, and question. This year, I was able to help my two littles sponsor a boy, Trey, who was in the competition. 

To start off, everyone who is competing will dress up in their suits and walk down the stage. They will give background information on the boys so all of the viewers are able to learn more about them. This year, we were able to get 15 boys' to participate which is the most we have ever had! One by one they would walk on the stage giving their best pose. This was so much fun to watch because all of the boys were gettin so into it. 

After they were all giving their best walk, next was talent and all of the boys had very different acts. Some of the talents included makeup, singing, dancing, poetry and so many more! It was so much fun to see all of the boys go out of their comfort zone and put on a show for everyone who was there. The last part was the questions. Each boy was asked two questions, one about one of Alpha Xi and the other about their time at Ohio Northern. This was for sure my favorite part because I loved hearing all of the boys' different answers. 

We were able to raise a lot of money that went to a really good cause while having so much fun! Trey didn't win but he said that next year that will be different.  Additionally, I was able to hang with my big and my twin. I don't get to see my big much because she is very involved so she is always doing something. This has been my favorite event this year and I cannot wait till next year to do it again!

    I heard Xi Man was such a success this year! So happy you were able to put on this amazing event again. It's awesome that the proceeds went to the Ada schools, something in our community here at ONU.

Christmas Formals

Each year, Alpha Xi Delta hosts their Christmas formals which is one of the nicest events that we throw in the fall semester. This allows everyone in the chapter to get all dressed up and spend time with each other. This year, we were able to bring dates with us so I brought Megan. Megan knows a lot of the girls in my sorority because a couple of our friends are in the chapter so it was super fun to hang out with everyone. We started getting ready for the formal a couple hours before it started so before people could come to my house to take pictures and hang.  After some time, we all headed to the event and it was so much fun! When we first went there, we spent 30 minutes taking pictures of the different backdrops that they had set up. It was nice to have different options and fun to take pictures with everyone in the chapter. After some time, we went back upstairs and got hot chocolate and sat at the tables. Everyone talked for time and caught up with everyone else. Once everyone was

Welcome to Ada!

While I was just home last weekend, my parents wanted to come up for the weekend. One of the main reasons for them coming is Megan's parents were also coming up and this would be the first time they have met. We wanted to have a tailgate for the football game with them to get to hangout with all of our friends. In addition to hanging out with Megan's parents, my older brother and I surprised my parents by driving down to The University of Cincinnati to pick up my younger brother,  Aiden.  They haven't seen him since leaving for school so we thought this would be really cool for him to join us this weekend. When my parents saw Aiden, they were shocked. They had no idea that we were going to pick him up for the weekend. This made this whole weekend that much more fun!  We all got the our tailgate location in the late morning. The parents set up all of the food that was made and everyone enjoyed each others' company. A lot of Megan and I's friends showed up to socializ

Unexpected Visits

Ohio Northern is an amazing school but freshman year, my best friend, Kendyl transferred halfway through the academic year. She was unhappy on campus and knew that the best thing was for her to leave. I supported her knowing that Ohio Northern was not the place for her anymore but ever since, I felt like a part of me is missing. Throughout the remainder of the year, Kendyl and I would FaceTime at least once a week, as this was the best way to stay in touch and feel connected to each other.  Sophomore year came around and I was really struggling. I did not enjoy my major and was having minor roommate problems. Kendyl recognized that I was miserable and asked what she could do to help me feel better. I conceded that a weekend visit would really help. At first she did not think she would be able to, but after some convincing she made the trip. This was the best weekend I had all year! Whenever we are together, we always have the best time. Laughing the whole time, there is never a dull mo
