If you are interested in participating in being a Secret Sister, prior to November 23 fill out a short form about yourself by CLICKING HERE.  After that date, we will provide your secret sister information and you can purchase a gift for $20 or less.

We ask that you drop off the gift at the sister's house before December 9.  If you want to participate and will not be able to drop off at your sister's house, you can mail it or a KOK board member can arrange to pick up the gift and drop off at their house.

Don't open your gift as we will do this during the virtual call.

Meet Brooke Pfan

Brooke Pfan is an initiate of Alpha Eta (University of Mount Union) and currently resides in San Diego, California. She is currently working as an Aerospace Buyer. As an alumna, she volunteers as Collegiate Relations Chair! Her favorite Alpha Chi memory was dressing up for “raids” and coming up with costumes from what she could pull from her sisters’ closets. Her favorite costume was bid day or junior senior night before graduation. Brooke’s favorite thing about Alpha Chi Omega is how even after 6 years and a move across the country, she is still so close with some of her best friends/sisters she met through the chapter.
