The Alpha Chi Induction was a formal cer­

emony held in the presence of the induct­

ees' peers. Each inductee was given a white

candle, symbolizing learning. During the

ceremony, they lit their candles from the gold

candle that represented knowledge. More

than recognizing good grades, Alpha Chi

honors the love of learn­

ing. The members signed a

book, promising to uphold

the principles of the society:

the pursuit of truth and the

practice of character by

which victory is obtained.

The Alpha Chi induction ceremony was over, but the member's

responsibilities were not. While working to maintain their grade point

averages, the Alpha Chi members provided tutoring for anyone needing

help in several academic areas. Naomi Ingram said, "[Tutoring] challenges

me to explain clearly what I know, and it's so rewarding to see the light go

on. It does take time, but it's worth it."

Helping others was one of the main goals of Alpha Chi, an organization

specifically focused on serving academically. Amy Feeser said, "It's a great

opportunity to serve others with the gifts God gave us." Luke 12:48 states,

"...For unto whomso­

ever much is given,

of him shall much be

required".

Amanda Russell

helped a student in her

history class. She said,

"We work one-on-one,

and it is very produc­

tive. It is very encouraging to tutor people and then see them succeed

academically."The members of Alpha Chi have been found to be faithful

stewards of the gifts God has given them. They honor God not only by do­

ing their best, but also by serving others.
