Near the beginning of the semester, the Alpha Omicron chapter accepted the responsibility of becoming the advising chapter for a brand new Kappa Kappa Psi colony. The colony is located at McMurry University in Abilene, Texas. They are a small, private liberal arts university that prides itself on its United Methodist tradition. This group of guys and girls have been working hard to get the Colonization process started up and Alpha Omicron is happy work with these colonists throughout the entire process.

Brother Kurtis Gonzales has accepted the role as the primary contact between our two organizations and will be working closely with the colonists in order to bring them to chapter status as soon as possible.

You can check out their website, developed by Nicole Sonneveld - colony Historian, at http://mcmkkpsi.weebly.com and I highly encourage you to leave comments of support as they progress through the colonization process.

1/29 UPDATE

Texas Tech University has shut down campus for today. Because of this, we will be canceling the workshop this weekend and rescheduling for sometime later in the semester. Keep checking back for more information.

Thanks and AEA,

1/28 UPDATE

This morning, Lubbock had a bout of obnoxious bad weather starting with sleet and moving to snow/ice/lightning. Because of this, we probably will reschedule the History and Traditions workshop at Texas Tech this weekend to another date. We wanted to give everyone as much advanced notice as possible to keep people safe.

We will make the official call tomorrow before noon.

Any questions can be directed to Robbie Duran, our Corresponding Secretary

Thanks and AEA,

The Alpha Omicron chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi and the Beta chapter of Tau Beta Sigma, would like to invite you to the History and Traditions Workshop. This workshop will take place on January 30, 2010, at the Texas Tech University School of Music in Lubbock, TX. We will be going over the tradition and prestige of both organizations, and also show a little bit of the Alpha Omicron and Beta chapter history.

Some highlights to look forward to include:

• Recruitment and Membership Education
• History of the Goin' Band and ΚΚΨ/ΤΒΣ involvement over the years
• Combined hazing workshop
• Separate ΚΚΨ/ΤΒΣ workshops
