#GammaIS Fun!

 

Ee Kean Kew (furthest right) and his Gamma family!

     Just about a month ago, my friends and I became new members of Gamma Iota Sigma. It was nerve-racking and exciting at the same time, as it was the first time that I was joining a professional fraternity at Drake. But the members at Gamma were all very friendly and welcoming. I still remember the cheer and applause everyone gave us when we walked into chapter that night. I knew at that moment that Gamma was going to be a whole lot of fun. 

     And I was right! The weeks that followed were a series of activities and events that not only bonded the pledge members and other Gamma brothers and sisters together, but also provided us the opportunity to grow intellectually and professionally. A speed dating event worked out really well as an ice-breaker, as we got the chance to introduce ourselves and have casual conversations with other members. I also found out that Hui Ying was my big that night, and she has been really helpful and supportive to me since then. Another event showing our Gamma spirit, Super Service Saturday, was a huge success with 238.5 hours of service provided by Gamma members in just one day. We sold raffle tickets for donations to Make- A- Wish Foundation and made thank you cards for veterans. Finally, the actuarial exam and LinkedIn recommendation workshops gave me really useful tips in building my LinkedIn profile and forming a solid foundation to Excel.

     It has only been about one month since I joined Gamma, but I have already gained so much experience, knowledge, and friendship. Being part of Gamma is already and will continue to be a life-changing experience. I love Gamma Iota Sigma more and more every day and I can’t wait for other future exciting events!

Fraternally yours,

Ee Kean Kew
