Summertime, And the Livin' is EaXI

Our sister Hannah fulfilling her goal of feeding
 her favorite animal, the giraffe!

Summer has arrived and it brings the promise of sun, fun, and a hiatus from your alarm clock.  But, for the ladies of Alpha Xi Delta’s Psi chapter, summer “break” can be just as chaotic as a school semester.

Between jobs, classes, internships and mission trips, our busy Xi’s have little time to lounge in the sun.  Getting that perfect tan takes a backseat this summer as our sisters pursue their ever-growing bucket lists. Whether it’s enjoying a good summer read or fulfilling a lifelong dream of skydiving, these women aren’t wasting any time on the “dog days” of summer.
With only 38 days remaining until the start of fall classes at the Ohio State University, the clock is ticking.  Below are a few items they are crossing off their lists. What will you accomplish this summer?

1. Eat as many ice cream cones as humanly
    possible
2. Go shark fishing
3. Sign up for Walk Now for Autism Speaks in Columbus
