Introducing: Girl's Night Out!

What is Girls Night Out? 

GNO is an all-ages alumnae Alpha Chi social group that meets once a month to reconnect and make new friends. Girls night out is not a business meeting; it is strictly social. We promise we won’t ask you for money or more of your time. We just want to see our sisters more often and have some quality girl time.

What do we do? 

It is different every time depending on who shows up. Sometimes GNO turns into a relaxing wine tasting or foodie adventure and other times we play bar games or BBQ. We have four annual events that shouldn’t be missed: summer BBQ in July, holiday cookie exchange in December, guys night in April, and Founders Day in October.

What does it cost? Do I have to dress up? 

There is no set cost; arrive early (5-6pm) for happy hour prices or come later for the full menu. Each sister covers her own bill. When there is an additional cost involved (parking, games, cover charge) it will be in the invite so you can plan. We choose places that are relaxed and casual. Most people come from work directly so we get every style from suits to Uggs to lab coats. Photo ID is also suggested since we sometimes sit in the bar.  

Who can come; is it only for Portland State Alumnae? 

No, sisters from all chapters are invited to attend. This is not a Delta Omicron Chapter support group! We know there are many chapter associated clubs that meet in Portland and we are not trying to replace those groups. So what do we talk about? Girl stuff; work, kids, grad school, men and we sometimes share “in my chapter” stories from college that are always good fun. Most of the events are open only to sisters but we have events open to families and significant others a few times a year. RSVPing is encouraged but not required.

When and Where? 

The group travels around the Portland Metro area each month, alternating nights of the week and east/west, downtown/burb locations. The first person usually arrives at 5:30 to hold our table the others show up as work and traffic allows. We usually wrap up by 8pm, but we have been known to break up and bar hop late into the evening. Facebook and Evite invitations go out about two weeks prior to each month’s event. The annual calendar is on the website for advance planning. 

Our next event is in a BBQ in July! Check out the Xi Xi website for more information or email us at xixi.alphachiomega@gmail.com for more information.
