OCTOBER 12th, WORLD ARTHRITIS DAY!

“In observance of World Arthritis Day, the Arthritis Foundation is calling on all Americans to "Do Blue" on Tuesday, October 12. By dressing head to toe in blue--from blue do's to blue shoes--America joins in the celebration to make it truly a worldwide effort. Even some of our national landmarks and monuments will be dressed in blue (lights, that is).



Our “Do Blue” campaign aims at raising awareness of arthritis in all its forms and urging the nation and individuals to take action to reduce the impact of our most common cause of disability.”

2010 Leadership Institute

This year, five ladies from Omicron, both collegiate and alumnae, joined other sisters from all over to "Walk the Talk" together for Leadership Institute in Franklin, TN. This was a three day event which focused on leadership, ritual and friendship. With some dynamic motivational speakers and hands on courses, we learned a lot about leadership training, sisterhood and fun to carry throughout life!

This year, Omicron received the Pearl Award, as well as the Academic Honor Roll Chapter Total Honor Roll!! These ladies worked very hard to achieve the Standards of Excellence, and we are so proud of them!

And then there is even more! Micah Johnson was one of six college women who received the AOII Collegiate Woman of Leadership Award, and Kandyce Harber was one of five alumnae women who received the AOII Alumnae Woman of Leadership Award. These awards are only given every TWO years! Congratulations to Micah and Kandyce, who are tremendously deserving of this recognition for their service to the chapter and community! It's so incredible that Omicron ladies received one in each of those categories. No other chapter did that! So, so very exciting!We are so proud of our Omicrons!
