idwesterners and Nebraskans are built
tough. Our time at UNL makes all of
us a little bit Midwestern, even if we
now call another region home. The cold, snowy
winter took its toll on the Midwest this year, fol-
lowed by a spring filled with devastating flood
waters. But all one has to do is turn on the local
Nebraska news or read posts on Facebook to see
how neighbors and even strangers are banding
together to support those affected. Our own un-
dergraduates stepped up to help by contributing
the proceeds for this year's Tau Tee-Off to sup-
port flood victims.
Uniting together to support those in need is just
one of the many qualities we developed as mem-
bers of Gamma Theta. We're proud to see our
younger brothers giving back to the community,
making strides toward excellence as a chapter,
and pursing the ideals needed to be named a True
Merit chapter again. We know the 30th year of
recognition is in our reach. Mentoring under-
graduates is one way we as alumni can help the
chapter on this path. If interested, please email
ATOnebraska@gmail.com.
Summer recruitment is just around the corner
and alumni referrals can help connect potential
new members with Gamma Theta. If you know a
young man heading to the University of Nebras-
ka this fall, please reach out to Rush Chairman
Nick Swan '18 at nick.m.swan@gmail.com or
(402) 679-2270. The chapter also is looking for
volunteers who could host summer rush events,
so if you have a place, let Nick know so he can
work on his event schedule.
Please remember to be diligent in paying your
remaining campaign pledge installments. If
you missed a payment, need a reminder resent,
or have a question about your pledge, please
contact our campaign coordinator at (785) 843-
1661. Contributions can still be made online at
atonebraska.org/campaign or you can mail a
check to Gamma Theta, P.O. Box 401, Elkhorn,
NE 68022.
Love and Respect,
