Meet our Executive Members!

President Stephanie Muschall

“I find it hard to describe just how much Alpha Chi means to me. Alpha Chi is the reason I am still at Missouri State and a lot of the reason I am who I am today. Through this chapter, I have met the most genuine women I know and, most importantly, my best friends. I’ve found the women I can turn to when I feel lost, the women who lift me up when I’m down, the women that make me laugh until I cry and cry until I laugh, and the women that will be the bridesmaids in my wedding. I’ve made so many memories while I’ve been in this chapter and I know there’s many more to come. Alpha Chi Omega is the best decision I’ve made in my college years and I am so grateful to be a part of this amazing sisterhood!”

Favorite AXO Memory: I find it hard to pinpoint one memory that sticks out the most. I am so lucky to be an Alpha Chi Omega and to have the amazing friends that I do. If I had to chose one, I would say visiting my sisters in St. Louis over the summer. Since I don’t live by any of my sisters, I go through withdrawals during the summer and it was a blast just to get to hang out with my sisters away from school and see their city!
Ice Cream Flavor: Chocolate! Or Cake Batter. With lots of toppings like Cookie Dough, Reeses, and Strawberries! yummmmm
If you could be any crayon color out of a box of 112 crayons, what color would you want to be and why?I would have to pick Pacific Blue because its one of my favorite colors, but also because it reminds me of the ocean. I love the ocean and I hope to one day live near it!

Education (New Member Ed) Lindsay Lammert

“Alpha Chi is a place where you can be yourself 24/7, and you are always sure to find at least one person that has the same interests as you. This sorority is made up of all different personalities, and we all come together under one bond to make Alpha Chi. It means so much to me to know that we have what we like to call “a home away from home” and sisters that will always be there for each other. If not for Alpha Chi, many of us would not still be here at Missouri State. Having sisters to share everything with, good or bad, makes all the difference.”
