Helping One Another, Together "No one is too small to be able to help a friend." Chi Alpha Rho's motto played a big part in their activities throughout the year. In sports, service project s, devotionals, and personal involvement with one another, the girls made a real impact on the Harding campus . Beginning with induction month , when each old member was assigned an inductee , a "special friend ," the encouragement during those fir st weeks brought many of the girls close together. This closeness created not just fri ends, but sisters as well , the underlying motive of social clubs. Diane Conner, a junior and a new member to Chi Alpha Rho , expressed her enthusiasm for the club activities. "I really miss our Wednesday night bowl - ing, now that it's over. It just seems like something is missing now. " Besides bowling , the girls were involved in softball , football , and volleyball. Each game was an exhibiti on of their honest desire to do their best and to have a good time, win or lose. This spirit showed itself in their effort s to share with one another and with other people. Servi ce projects were consistently chosen with others in mind. The fir st of these, a car wa sh, gave the opportuni - ty to raise money to send Bibles behind the Iron Curtain . Devo tionals with o ther clubs as well as singly , offered the chance to share direc tly with the brothers and sisters on campus . In addi - tion, the girl s involved in Spring Sing made several interclub friendships with members of Kirei as they rehearsed and social ized together. The opportunity to spend time - Chds Dei together on socia l occassions created a great deal of excitement among the girls. A bunking party at Chari ann Reely's house, a hayride, a Christmas party at Wyldewood , and an outstanding Spring Banquet all evoked their enthusiasm. In order to · o rganize and accomplish the entertaining functi ons of the club , as well as the tediou s, not-so-entertaining activities, Chi Alpha Rho worked together, an essential element in the success of the club. With optimism, Gail Reaves, first semester president commented , "I think we have some girls who, if they tap their leadership potential , will really take our club in the right di rection. " It seems, since 1979 when the club was chartered, the club ha s been going in the right direction a ll along, their motto having given them a path to follow. Pat Cope , sponsor, seemed to think the girls were accomplishing just what they set out to do : be a friend to those around. " I have never seen anybody in Chi Alpha Rho do anything, (even during induction ), to hurt anybody. They are all real - ly great Christian girls ." ~ ].
