The cost is $10 to provide your lasagna supper. We will return to the XA house around 9:30pm. Please plan on attending because this will be one of the most profound days of your life….HONESTLY!
THE MOST EXCITING WEEKEND OF ALL…
Well, it is finally here, Chi Alpha Fall Retreat weekend. This is the weekend that sets the pace, raises the bar and unites the lives of students year after year. We depart from the XA house at 4pm on Friday, Sept 21st, for a road-trip to Camp on the Boulder in McLeod, MT. If the roadie still isn’t enough than you won’t be disappointed, XA Fall Retreat has it all! Your $59 registration provides food, lodging, retreat fees, snacks and more. If you are new to MSU we even give you a $10 scholorship. There is only one catch, you must register by Tuesday to get the scholorship and to get the $59 price, after that Retreat cost is $64 for everyone and no scholorships.
You will need your Bible, notebook, pen, play/work clothes, warm clothes, your favorite board game, bedding(or sleeping bag),pillow, toiletries, swimsuit(for baptisms), flashlight, etc. If you have a digital camera, bring your downloading cord so we can get your pix before you leave for this website. We all need to be at the camp by 7pm on Friday and we will be heading back to Bozeman by 1pm on Sunday….with plenty of time to study;) If you have registration questions email Michelle at xa.michelle@gmail.com.

Get Connected or Go Home!
Long about the 3rd week of school, new students are either getting connected with new friends and new experiences or they begin the process of hating school and going home. It’s true, those that get connected early have the greatest chances for graduating. Those that are still just hanging around the dorm room and not making new friends have a low chance of even completing the semester.
At Chi Alpha, we want to help. We offer several ways to get connect from our clay pigeon shotgun shooting to our Bonfire, from our small groups (called core groups) to $1 Dinner on Fridays, and from our Tuesday night XA meeting to our XA house were you can come hang out, play pool, use free wireless, play sand volleyball or just find a place to study. Please get connected for your own good!
Here are a few up and coming activities to help you GET CONNECTED…
Mon - Upper classman womens core group @ 8:30pm
Tues - XA main meeting @ 7:30pm
Wed - Mens Core @ 7pm or International Student Conversation Group @ 8pm
Thurs - Both mens and womens core groups (evenings)
Fri - Screen on the Green (our outdoor movie adventure) @ 8pm
Sat - MSU Football Concessions

GO CATS!
Chi Alphans are simply college students commited to seeking the face of God. We desire to know God and make Him known at Montana State University. We meet in the new Chi Alpha House located right across the street from campus. These meetings are opportunities for students to meet God, each other, and the needs of the community.
Even though our name suggests it we are not a fraternity or a sorority.
In the Bible, the Apostle Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 5:20, "We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God." Inspired by this verse we chose the phrase "christou apostoloi," meaning "Christ's sent ones," to represent who we are. The Greek letters Chi (X) and Alpha (A) are the initials of this phrase, which reminds us that we should live to reflect Jesus' life.
Our mission is simple: we desire to reconcile students to Christ, to transform our university and then send those students out to transform the world!
We do this by worship, prayer, discipleship, evangelism, and mission. We value Integrity, Servant Leadership, Excellence, Community, Diversity, and Creativity.
There are several ways for you to get involved in Chi Alpha. We have girls and guys bible studies, worship with drama and music, dollar dinner friday, mission trips, retreats, international student friendship, and so much more.
