As the semester has ended, we bid our seniors a farewell. Some of them consisted of officers, and other consist of members that actually made a difference in the chapter. We will definitely miss these individuals. As they move on into the Oahu alumni chapter, we hope we remain in close contact with them. GO CLASS OF 2014!
As the semester nears to a close, Rho Chi welcomes in 13 newly initiated brothers of the Delta class into its family! They have all proven their worth to be called Deltasigs and will definitely provide the chapter with more dynamism and strength for our chapter’s near and far future. Travis Tsukyama’s nine-week pledge process proved to be a challenge that pushed the newly initiates to hone onto their time management and test their true commitment to DSP.
Many exciting events are just around the corner for Rho Chi such as the Barbeque Extravaganza on April 19, 2014 with Pi Sigma Epsilon and Entrepreneur Club.
PIN night is almost here as well and will be on April 23, 2014, where brothers will have the chance to interact and network with a variety of professionals from around the island.
At the end of that week, some brothers are visiting the Lamda Psi chapter for a small conference in Hilo and then hurrying back for Super Clubs Day the next morning (The biggest competition between all the business clubs of Shidler that tests all clubs’ abilities in football, volleyball, dance and relay) on Sunday, April 27, 2014. We hope to finish the year strong and bring home the trophy for all of our graduating seniors as a last hoorah.
This is only the first semester of our breakout year for Rho Chi and we hope to continue our rich tradition of excellence as we move forward with our new Delta class.
This has been a busy month of March! Here's some of the highlights so far:
We had a successful Krispy Kreme fundraiser. Thank you to our Director of Fundraising, Susan Yogi, for putting it together!
LEAD at Long Beach this spring, and a lot of the brothers were able to attend!
We had a Big Lil BBQ Bonding day! Thank you to our Senior Vice President, Jamie Uy, for organizing it!
We had a joint social with other business clubs in Shidler to practice for Super Clubs Day. Shout out to our VP of Socials, Stetson Shimamoto, for making it happen!
We had a great company tour at the First Hawaiian Bank. Thank you Lily Nguyen, our VP of Professional Activities for organizing this event.
We've had a great month, and look forward to all the fun to come the rest of this Spring semester! :D
Pledging has begun, and our Delta class consists of 13 pledges for Spring 2014! They are going to have a great pledging process with the help of our VPPE, Travis Tsukuyama.
We had our Big Little Reveal, the Rho Chi Rodeo, on February 8th! Yay! Family lines are growing :)
Also, the night before was Back to Business night with all of the Shidler clubs. Thank you to our IBC Senator, In Sik Seo for all your help with this event!
Rho Chi wishing everyone a Happy New Year and all the best for the new school semester!
It's almost that time again--recruitment week. Be sure to find Rho Chi brothers around UH Manoa campus next week to see if our organization is a fit for you!
Our Spring 2014 Officers met together over the holiday break and constructed their vision for Rho Chi this semester:
