  1. Classy vs. Trashy Alpha Chi Omega’s Backstops

  2. Alpha Chi Omega’s Backstops BACKSTOP 1: “My choices impact my sisters, so what choices do I have?” •This first backstop encourages you to explore healthy decision making frameworks and to consider the choices you have in different situations—making the best choice that will reflect positively on yourself, on your chapter and on the Fraternity as a whole. BACKSTOP 2: “Where is the dignity in what we are doing?” •This second backstop follows Alpha Chi Omega’s statement on human dignity. It specifically indicates that as members of the organization we will engage in activities and behavior that reflect positively on the organization and fraternity/sorority life. They will promote self-worth and choose not to participate in activities that degrade individuals based on gender, race, color, religion, national origin, age, disability or sexual orientation.

  3. Party Behavior Classy vs. Trashy

  4. Classy vs. Trashy • Have a few drinks, but be responsible! Going out is way more fun when you can remember everything! • If you decide to drink, DON’T DRIVE. Mug shots aren’t pretty • If you want to take pictures, keep alcohol out of pictures and keep your clothes on! We don’t want to tarnish our great AXO image • Nobody likes a sloppy drunk • Drinking excessively can lead to nights of throwing up, bad hangovers, or even alcohol poisoning. Not cool. • Passing out at a party not only looks trashy, but can leave girls open to sexual assault • If one girl gets crazy drunk, word gets around. Soon all people will think is that AXO’s are crazy and tasteless-we don’t want that!

  5. Sorority Style Classyvs. Trashy

  6. Classy vs. Trashy • Leave something to the imagination: it shows you value yourself and Alpha Chi’s values • Be confident! That’s the most attractive thing a girl can do • Scarves and tights are a girl’s best friend, use them to cover up if an outfit is a tad too revealing for work or school • Butts and boobs should be covered! When in doubt, ask “Would my parents/bf’s parents/grandparents think I look acceptable?” • No one respects girls who strip down to their underwear or show their “assets” off inappropriately • Super-short skirts and dresses don’t scream sexy, they scream easy. We want nice boys who care about all of us, not just our bodies; these types of clothes won’t help us in that department • Remember: what you wear can reflect poorly on AXO. People can judge a whole chapter’s values based on only a few girls’ poor clothing decisions

  7. Dating Do’s and Don’ts Classy vs. Trashy

  8. Classy vs. Trashy • Fun dates like going to movies, going on a picnic, or rock climbing can help you get to know someone better and gives you a chance to show the real you • At the end of a first date (or the first couple of dates), DON’T go home with a guy. You’re worth more than a booty call, and if you give it up right away there’s nothing for a guy to pursue to turn into a relationship • Going to the bar or club is not a date. • Getting drunk on a date typically does not impress a guy…or anyone else for that matter • A date ending with an “adult sleepover” can lead to you feeling crappy, rumors, pregnancy scares, and often times don’t result in positive and long-lasting relationships.

  9. Hazing Classy vs. Trashy

  10. Classy vs. Trashy • Alpha Chi Omega has strong sisterhood…spending time building that bond on safe and non-degrading activities exemplifies our values • Our best memories are spent doing fun and safe activities with our sisters • When we recruit girls we want to show them the best AXO has to offer… we can do that by not hazing and making girls feel welcome! • I’ve never heard anyone say that being forced to drink, destroying personal property, being forced to engage in any sort of sexual activity, or making fools of themselves in front of others is fun • Hazing doesn’t show girls we love/care about them. • Hazing brings unwanted attention to our chapter locally and nationally. Even if one girl hazes someone, others will blame the whole chapter
