#GammaIS Celebrating Itself

    The second half of this semester just flew on by! My committee and I kept busy with some of Gamma’s most exciting events! This included Gamma Jeopardy, Initiation, and Graduation. Aside from those events, we also got to award the Big / Little Bonding Competition champions! Congratulations to Kew and Ashlyn! They submitted 50 photos throughout the semester and proved that they were truly the best big and little!

    Gamma Jeopardy was a new event to be held under Recruitment and Ritual. The goal of this event was tailored towards educating the pledges about all things Gamma. They learned some things about the Chi Chapter, Grand Chapter, GIS on Social Media, and much more. Not only was this helpful to the pledges, but it scraped off some rust for our active members!

    Initiation was an exciting night! But like almost all of our rituals it is very hush hush. What I can say is that I am very happy that Gamma got to initiate 11 wonderful people into the organization. I am also so proud of each member of the Eta class! Gamma is growing!

    While we gained 11 wonderful members, we also had to say goodbye to 12 of our seniors this year, including the last of the Alpha class. Gamma Gradation was such a bittersweet day. It was so easy to be excited and say congrats to our seniors, but it was hard not to shed a tear or more to see them leave. These seniors have been more than just members in Gamma. They have been our friends, our family, our role models, the reasons we laugh, the reasons we smile, and the reasons why we fell in love with Gamma. With Graduation, we sent them off into the real world to make us proud to call them our alumni. Congratulation class of 2016! We will miss seeing your faces at least once a week.


With Gamma Love,

Krista Hutchinson

Director of Recruitment & Ritual
