Fashion 101

Summer is finally here which means it’s time for fun in the sun! Get out of your comfort zone and try some of these bold fashion trends to spice up your wardrobe for Summer 2022.

Oversized Suits - Oversized monotone suits can easily take you from work to play. In particular, baggy and billowy suits are the silhouettes of choice for their comfort and versatility. Oversized blazers can be paired with almost any look!

Hot Pink - This vibrant hue is sure to stand out and dominate your wardrobe this summer. Hot pink truly exudes femininity, confidence, power-dressing, which makes it a great addition to any outfit. Go bold and try a monochromatic hot pink look.

Modern Gilded Glamour - Corsets, bustiers, ruffles and puffy sleeves add a touch of gilded glamour. This trend is influenced by the elaborate costumes in "Bridgerton” and are reminiscent of the Gilded Age of the 1870s.

Use these tips to elevate and brighten your wardrobe for this summer!

Sister Spotlight

This edition of the AtheNEA's Sisterhood Spotlight goes to Sister Sophia Pineda of Houston!

Sophia Pineda is an active member of Houston's Rodanthi #41 chapter. She is the Delphis and chairman of the Educational Committee. Sophia shares many educational presentations with her sisters and recently hosted a museum tour for the chapter. As a philhellene, Sophia finds ties between her cultural background and that of her Greek sisters.

Congratualtions, Sister Sophia Pineda!

Advisor's Corner

Summer is upon us, and it is now time for the AHEPA Family 2022 National Convention at Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida. Convention is a time for sisterhood mixed in with a little bit of work. Decisions are made that affect your organization, the Maids of Athena. These decisions will help the Maids continue to thrive and grow. You will learn more about the working of the Maids and bring home great ideas to share with your Chapters. I hope to see you there! We will also be celebrating all your achievements for the year!

Thank you to our Chapter Officers and District Leaders for inspiring your Sisters to continue all your good works throughout the year. Rallying back from the last couple of years has been challenging, and you all have done an excellent job. Your chapter reports to your liaison have been full of good news and events that have happened this past year.

Finally, a big heartfelt thank you to the Maids of Athena Grand Lodge. I have enjoyed working with all of you and learned so much this year. All of you are beautiful, intelligent, gracious young women, and I am proud to have worked with all of you.

I wish you all a healthy and fun-filled summer and look forward to seeing you in Orlando!

Remember to be INVOLVED!

With Love in Pi Alpha,
Patty Didik
