Dad's Weekend 2018
We were able to show our Dad’s and special guys more about Chi Omega on our annual Dad’s Day. The celebration was held at City Park, and while the weather was cold, our hearts were warm with joy. Dads and daughters socialized over a cozy cook-out. As usual, this day isn’t complete without our annual bags tournament. Dads and daughters had so much fun showing off their skills (or lack of them!), and it was a really fun day to hang out with our sisters and get to know their dads.
“Dad’s Day was such a special day for everyone! I was so lucky to have both my dad and grandpa with me during the festivities! Getting to show them my new home and my incredible sisters was my favorite part!”
“Dad’s Day is hands-down my favorite XO event of the year!!! Seeing my dad get so into the bags tournament is the funniest thing! I love getting to see him laugh and have a good time with all my best friends’ dads and hear them all reminisce about the ‘good ole’ college days!”
“I loved having my dad come and see my second home! He got to meet so many of the wonderful girls I’ve become friends with, and by the end of the day he fully understood why I went Chi O!”
On Sunday, we hosted our 14th Annual Golf Classic, benefitting Make-A-Wish. We loved having our dads in town for this special event — it is so special to be able to show the golfers our love and dedication for this incredible organization. Make-A-Wish benefits so many families, so being able to take part in such a fun event that does so much good with our own families is really special.
The drizzle and the cold could not stop our smiles! Whether we were caddying for our fathers, boyfriends, or friends, we had a great time bonding with them and our sisters.
“Golf Classic was an absolute blast! I loved being able to introduce my dad to my little. I truly cherish moments like these because college only lasts for four years and I want to make the most of it. It was especially special because we were able to raise money for Make-A-Wish as well. I always look forward to this weekend!!” - Peyton Swift
“The Golf Classic was so much fun!! Its the best, heading out to the course on a cool, sunny morning cheering on our favorite guys while they support something we love - Chi O and Make-A-Wish!”
“I had such a fun day spending quality time with my dad while raising money for a great cause. Its always awesome to see everyone out having fun and golfing while supporting our philanthropy. Its definitely something we all look forward to year after year!”
“The Golf Classic was such a fun and relaxing day, hanging out with the girls and the fraternity men was a great way to make memories and I’m so ready for the next one!”
“The Golf Classic is one of my favorite events every year. My dad and I are always super busy so we don’t always get one-on-one time together. The golf classic gave us this time, as well as allowed my dad to meet some of my amazing sisters and their dads!”
“It takes the best to raise the best.”
Dad’s Day is truly a blessing for Chi Omega. This weekend provides much needed time with family, many laughs, and handfuls of memories that we will carry with us forever. We wouldn’t be the women we are today without them. We love you, dads!!
