Alpha Psi Hillier

Many of you have inquired (or have been silently inquisitive) about Alpha Psi Hillier....

For those of you who read our blog, you are privy to the "inside scoop"...here it is:

WHAT: Alpha Psi Hillier is a local sorority that we have founded this year and will be officially active beginning February 1st!!

WHO: There will be 2 chapters of the sorority. The Senior Chapter is for high school juniors who are preparing for senior portraits. The Women's Chapter will be for women 18 and older.

WHY: There were many factors that played into the decision to form a sorority..all equally important. In random order, here are some of the 'whys':

- To step our senior portrait modeling program up a level in order to provide our seniors with more of an 'experience'.

- To provide a program that boosts self-esteem in girls, teens and women of all ages through portrait modeling, sisterly bonds and community and charitable events.

- To open the opportunity for all high school girls to have amazing senior portraits by a professional studio. Senior portraits have evolved and thus the investment has as well. This program provides ways for seniors to earn significant discounts on their portraits.

- To enhance cross-community sisterly and mentor bonds between girls, teens and women.

- To support a charity that reaches people on a broad spectrum...from local international. We have chosen "Operation Smile" as our charity and will donate $25 per new member to the organization, which provides funds for surgeries to children with clef pallet, clef lip and other facial deformities.

- To provide a means for high school juniors/seniors, collage-bound students, and active community members to participate in community service. We will hold several events that will raise awareness and support for Operation Smile and other community and charitable foundations.

WHEN: Once the sorority becomes officailly active on Febraury 1st we will start a Class of 2011 Rush (or recruitment period) that will go through February 28th. Rush will be closed after that for high school seniors until the following year for the class of 2012. Rush for 'big sisters' and women over 18 for the Women's Chapter of the sorority will begin in March.
