Every spring, Alpha Chi participates in one of Carnegie Mellon’s most well-known Spring Carnival traditions, booth! Our sisters build, craft and design a multi-story structure using power tools, paint, and passion. This is a great opportunity for every Alpha Chi to get trained in practical tool skills and translate their creativity into craft.
Our theme for our 2023 booth is Peter Pan!
Each booth is designed to be an educational and fun experience for the families and students who visit Carnegie Mellon during Carnival. In the past, our sisters have built booths with the following themes:
2022: Aurora Borealis
2019: The California Beach
2018: Dracula
2017: The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
2016: Clue
Some of our sisters’ favorite Alpha Chi memories are created through building our booth, whether it be painting murals together at our house, celebrating getting our floors leveled, or eating far too much pizza well past midnight on midway. Designing and building a booth is a feat that not only demonstrates our strength as real, strong women, but also the deep bonds of sisterhood that last well beyond Carnival.
In 2019, our booth California Beach won the Chairman’s Choice Award!
