With Thanksgiving right around the corner, that can only mean one thing... Black Friday shopping! 

One thing to remember while shopping and pushing your way through the crowded lines is to be patient and keep your cool. The lines will be long and the people will be rushing to get the same deals that you are. Make sure to know what stores you want to hit up for the sales and list them on paper from your most important to least important. It also wouldn't hurt to write down specific things you want to get while shopping so you don't accidently overspend or forget something you wanted! It may also be beneficial to take a friend with you while shopping since the day will undoubtedly be long, and you'll need some moral support. 

Happy shopping!

The SMU Alpha Chi Omega and Beta Kappa Beta alumnae chapters will host its annual Alpha Chi Couture fashion show and silent auction at 7 p.m. on Friday, November 2 at the Frontiers of Flight Museum. The event, again hosted by Jan Strimple, benefits the Genesis Women’s Shelter and the Alpha Chi Omega Foundation and hopes to raise awareness about the prevalence of domestic violence.
“We have a dedicated board of Alpha Chi Omega collegiates and alumni that contribute countless hours to make this event a success,” said Megan Steinbach, Alpha Chi Couture co-chair. “We've continue to receive significant support from our community, which allows us to increase our fundraising goals year over year and bring hope to victims of domestic violence.”

The event—with presenting sponsor Lifetime Strategies, and other sponsors, JC Penney, Frost Bank, Model Finance Company, Double S Interests and Kim L. Hix Accountancy Corp, to name a few—kicks off with a cocktail hour and silent auction followed by a fashion show featuring the latest styles at Tootsie’s, Brooks Brothers and WAREhaus.

Over the last six years, Alpha Chi Couture has raised more than $150,000. These funds have helped the Genesis Women’s Shelter provide a safe place for over 2,000 women and children who have fled the immediate threat of domestic violence. These contributions help the shelter meet all of the victims’ needs, including clothing, food, shelter and counseling.
