The Executive Board

PRESIDENT

Hi all! I am Payton Foxworthy, a 4th year Psychology major from the Bay Area in California, and I am serving as this term's President! AXO has and always will have a special place in my heart. Alpha Chi has cultivated the person I want to be and due to its impact on me my goal in leading this Chapter is to hopefully give back all what AXO has added to my life. Not only do I have a community of strong women I can rely on everyday but I have a space that pushes and challenges me to be the best version of myself. Being on the executive board has brought me confidence that I didn’t know I was capable of expressing and also amazing connections to extremely smart individuals - inside and outside of our Chapter. From friendships, academics, leadership, service, and much more, Alpha Chi has given me what I have been missing my whole life. Every memory with our sorority is my favorite - I could never pick one. Without this chapter or experience of being on the board I would not be who I am today. This organization continues to change lives and I am honored to be leading and representing over 200 girls who I know will go on to positively impact the world.

VP CHAPTER RELATIONS & STANDARDS

Hi! My name is Sofia Amalfitano and I am a 4th year Construction Management major! I am from San Pedro, CA which is a small town in the LA area. I am currently VP Chapter Relations and Standards for our chapter and I can confidently say that being on the exec board has made my experience at Cal Poly so much better. I love that girls in our chapter trust me to come to me personally about absolutely anything, and I love that I can be a resource for anyone and everyone. This position has allowed me to be an older sister type of figure for our members and I am so grateful for that. One of my most memorable experiences in AXO was when I got my little Malia Jandra. She is my best friend and I wouldn’t have been able to meet such a beautiful soul if it weren’t for AXO.

VP FINANCE

Hi! My name is Kate Evans and I am a fourth-year finance major from Seattle, Washington. Serving as VP of Finance has allowed me to apply my knowledge from the classroom to best support Alpha Chi Omega’s growth and success. One of my favorite things about my position is working with other officers to best utilize budgets and foster collaboration between different exec members. I am beyond thankful for Alpha Chi Omega providing me with a wonderful support system both academically and within my personal life. Both my big, Abby Basford, and my little, Shane Townsend have been two individuals who I can count on for anything. Being a part of this chapter has allowed me to meet my closest lifelong friends and share a support system with such a wonderful group of girls.

VP RISK MANAGEMENT

Hi! My name is Katya Boychuk and I am a fourth year sociology major minoring in political science. I am from Seattle, WA. I am so excited and honored to be serving on the board as VP Risk Management. Alpha Chi has given me home away from home, as well as the best support system I could ask for. Serving in this position on the executive board has not only given me the opportunity to provide that support that changed my college experience for the better, but working to ensure the health and safety of each member. Not only that, but this position has helped grow my leadership skills and confidence. I am constantly amazed by the kindness, strength, and passion of the women in this chapter that I feel incredibly lucky to be a part of.

VP RITUAL & FRATERNITY APPRECIATION

Hi everyone! My name is Kyra Lomax and I am a third year psychology major from Seattle! In my position as VP ritual, I help our chapter celebrate Alpha Chi’s national holidays as well as organize our traditional and more private events such as initiation!

My job is to lead our chapter through all things related to preparation and the process of formal and informal recruitment. As VP Recruitment, I am so grateful for the opportunity to connect with every single member of our chapter and work together to create the most authentic and positive experience for PNMs. I cannot wait to share what our chapter has to offer with our potential new members, and welcome the next generation of Alpha Chis! It's hard to pick a favorite moment that this chapter has given me, as I am so lucky to get to spend every day with my sisters, but I really cherish Polish Week last year and the opportunity to bond with and get so close with so many different women with the goal of growing our chapter.

Bid day was one of my all time favorite days here in San Luis Obispo so far, and I am thrilled I get the opportunity to create an unforgettable day for our PNMs as well. I cannot wait to work alongside these amazing women on our executive board because I know there is still so much for me yet to learn!

VP PUBLIC RELATIONS & MARKETING

Hi everyone! My name is Jasmine Farrow and I am a fourth-year journalism student with a minor in entrepreneurship. I am originally from the Bay Area but have loved living on the central coast. As VP PR and Marketing I run all of our social media accounts including our website, Instagram, TikTok and more! I also design all of our merchandise and apparel. This is my second year holding this position and I couldn’t be more grateful. Serving on the executive board for two years has allowed me to grow into myself more than I could’ve imagined. I love being able to express myself creatively, work alongside other members and become the best version of myself. I owe this chapter so much of my confidence, happiness and opportunities. My favorite memory in Alpha Chi is being on the executive board with my big, Gigi Harn and my little, Grace Anton! Having my fam on exec with me was an unforgettably bonding experience and I feel so lucky to have shared it with the both of them.

VP MEMBERSHIP PROGRAMMING

Hi! My name is Lindsey Drew and I am a fourth-year Journalism major, minoring in Experience Industry Management. I am originally from San Diego and absolutely love getting to visit home whenever I get the chance! Joining Alpha Chi has brought me some of the most special roommates and people in my life and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. As VP Membership Programming, I am in charge of planning the chapter’s sisterhood events, Real Strong Women’s weekend, and so much more! I love this position because of the opportunities it gives me to not only be as creative as possible with my events, but also create a welcoming and enjoyable experience for members to spend time with one another. My most memorable time in Alpha Chi would have to be Polish Week and recruitment- this is where I really got to know the younger and older girls in the chapter and spend quality time together.

Hi! My name is Maya McClain (she/her) and I am a third year Political Science major concentrating in American Government with minors in Economics, Ethnic Studies, and Dance. I am from San Francisco, CA and am so excited to be serving as this year's VP of Diversity Equity, and Inclusion. My ultimate goal is to make sure that every single AXO feels safe, comfortable, and respected within our chapter. My intention in this work is to also facilitate the hard conversations that members, leaders, and national organizations need to have. Gathering experiences, perspectives, and ideas from a multitude of diverse backgrounds bolsters the strength in our bond. We continue to learn and explore new avenues to increase diversity and foster inclusive and equitable environments where members can feel safe and confident to connect, lead, grow, and serve as real, strong women. Going Greek was the best decision I could’ve ever made, and I am so very blessed to call Alpha Chi Omega my home.

I am so lucky to be able to be surrounded by such sensational people everyday in AXO.

VP FACILITY OPERATIONS

Hi all! My name is Paige Ackerman (she/her) and I am a fourth year Sociology major with a minor in Child Development. I am from Hermosa Beach, California (yay SoCal)! I am currently the VP Facility Operations which means that I am in charge of our chapter facility! We are located right behind the recreation center, which means we are quite literally steps away from campus! Our house is open to all of our members from morning to night. Members can study, cook, do their laundry, watch a movie, do a puzzle, hold events, and so much more at our house. I absolutely love to make our home the most welcoming place and see so many smiling faces each and every day. This is my second year on our executive board and I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve such incredibly strong women.

We work with the local women's shelter here in San Luis Obispo. Being in this position and leading how to raise donations, awareness and coordinating events has brought such fulfillment in my life and has shown me the value in working towards something so much bigger than yourself.
